I've naturally got a bit of a slightly camp/londoner accent but as my boyfriend's from birmingham I find myself adopting the Brummie accent when I go up there.

My accent's quite conflicted, I had to go to speech therapy when I was little so I've got quite a normal accent at times but it slips into a black country accent often. If I'm talking on the phone and situations like that then I'll try to speak posh sicne my accent can be difficult to understand sometimes.

Nah, mine is generally the same in every situation. I suppose it can be a little more reserved on the phone though.

Do we all? No we dont. I use the same accent all the time.
So when do you change accents LT and why? |

Secretly falling apart

Phone voice - Usually miserable cause I hate answering the phone
People like pizza guy, shopping assitants, teachers etc - I go all coy and say thanks a ridiculous amount of times Then If i'm with my friends I sound more common :P

I find my accent changes unintentionally. My grandparents are quite posh so when I'm with them I usually pronounce all my 'T's and generally dumb down my accent. When I'm with my close family, friends or people with a strong accent I speak pretty normal, and if I'm in something like an interview for college or a job or something, again, I dumb down my accent.
I don't know why, I don't actually mean to, it just happens

My accent makes me seem like I'm a first-language Welsh speaker so I get quite a lot of "Ohhh tell me what ____ is in Welsh!" and stuff (I'm not, just the basics).
I do put on a posh voice on the phone (to banks, college etc) it just seems to happen naturally then after I think "WTH was I doing that for?!" For example, saying "yes" properly as I always say "yerrr" :P |

I think i talk differently on the phone...other than that, not really.
Though when i lived in greece, I started sounding a little...I dont know...foreign.. Picked up a lot of how they speak over there, was very strange coming back to england
