Do you have a strong accent?
 
I have a really strong, very deep South Wales valley accent. I didn't realise I sounded that Welsh!

People don't expect me to sound like that when I speak, I always get "Omg, you sound so different than I imagined!"

:sad:

Sam! 29-06-2008 03:18 PM

Nope don't think so, quite a common accent. From Ketterin haha.

Lauren 29-06-2008 03:19 PM

Yes, I sound horrible (IMO).

Geordie/Mackem.

Shaun 29-06-2008 03:22 PM

AngRemembered 29-06-2008 03:23 PM

Not really strong but I can ham it up when I see young people up to no good in the street, like buying chips ect :laugh:

Oh it works wonders to and to get the real benefits you need to master the art of sucking your top lip after every sentance, oh and run fast if they don't :joker:

Well Brits say that I have a really strong American accent, but I'm not considered to have a strong accent in America.

Nicky. 29-06-2008 05:11 PM

I don't think i do..

But when I talk to people who've never heard me before there always like omg your soo scouse! -

I dont even live in Liverpool! x

Firewire 29-06-2008 05:26 PM

My accent doesn't sound that Scottish but it does. It doesn't sound as Scottish as Mikey's. But It is different when you speak I can only hear it when I record my voice. I do speak slang alot the words that I say in slay are (hoose (house), doon (down), naw (no), aye (yes), wit (what))

Captain.Remy 29-06-2008 05:35 PM

I never sound like someone from Southern France because I am used to talk different languages all day long so I didn't get to adopt the local accent.
But when I speak English I sound like French and when I speak Russian, I sound like Italian, that's weird.

andybigbro 29-06-2008 06:20 PM

Hmm i am not sure.
I dont even hear my accent unless its on video etc.

I am scottish so i might if i was in a room with completely different accents.

Emilee 29-06-2008 07:07 PM

I just have anornthern accent, but people tell me i sound really posh when i speak :rolleyes:

Kore 29-06-2008 07:10 PM

Ive got an accent like rachel (close anyway) im a fast talker. I get mistaken as a person from newcastle at times though lol!

Killian 29-06-2008 07:14 PM

In the county where I come from, we don't have a particular accent as such. It's a bit of a countryside accent, if you know what I mean. I'm also told I speak eloquently (an exaggeration I think) and I have hints of American and British (English, that is) in my voice. Probably from watching shows from those two places. That makes me sound like a couch potato though. :laugh:

Rocko 29-06-2008 07:19 PM

I don't really have one, but I love Irish accents. I don't care what you're talking if you're Irish, I'll just nod and smile :D

Diablo 29-06-2008 08:58 PM

Quite a strong glaswegian accent, but I think I am still easy to understand, there are a lot more stronger accents than mine and some glaswegians talk really fast as well, but not me. I like my accent :bouncy:

stacey 29-06-2008 09:04 PM

I'm from nottingham but other people from other places say i sound northern so i'm not sure lol :tongue:

Fom 29-06-2008 09:40 PM

I have a strong manchester accent, but thankfully I dont use the slang. My voice has edged more towards the yorkshire kind of accent now though, because I spend so much time in Oldham. I speak like...

"Im goon on t' bus na"

Its rather annoying, but all my accents are slowly dying because im taking diction classes for my acting.

Mrluvaluva 29-06-2008 09:45 PM

Nee way man. I 'ave a reet normal wun. :hugesmile:

Spike 29-06-2008 09:47 PM

I used to have a Black Country accent but I have tried to get rid of it and talk better
