been on ‘holiday’ somewhere (even if it’s just Essex) and come home with that accent (and it proper stuck for a few days or even weeks)?

I worked in America for a year and came home with a bit of an accent bit that was more because I changed it whilst I was there as it was easier than having the "oh you're English do you the queen" type conversations every time I went out

South Carolina is where I spent most of my time. I spent 2 months in Conneticut when I first went over

I worked in other countries including the USA on several occasions in a few US cities and I'm married to a Texan. No, I've never changed my accent. I'm told I speak Hebrew with a London accent.

Irish Guinness can do all sorts to a person after one or two rounds. I’m surprised she didn’t go all Foreign Accent Syndrome on you.

I think a lot of people talk differently when they’re under t’influence, tbh. My voice is naturally low anyway but some of the most complete Barry White … evolutions my voice-pitch has gone is when I’ve been gin-drunk. I have to be careful about the way I smoke cigarettes when I smoke (not very often but I only vape what I see as worthwhile, starting from CBD, so when I want a nicotine boost it’s got to be through a cigarette still), else I just get nauseous. But if anything like Benson and Hedges has factored in that night as well I scare even myself with how husky and deep I can get. But those are extremes. On a normal day I don’t talk like that at all. Still more bass-y than baritone but within fairly normal limits (if only it was more projectable). It’s not usually that-that gravelly. Just when gin and/or cigarettes factor in. That’s where the change comes from.

I have a lot of family in Carolina (mostly North, tbh) so I am kind of tapped into Carolina environment and ongoings. Kinda. It’s others I’d definitely want to chill in for a couple of months one day. N.C.’s very balanced as far as America goes, and some great minds come from there. Like you wouldn’t believe.

I always end up like mimicking peoples accents by accident which for many years I thought I was just being ignorant and racist but it turns out that it’s a trait that a lot of autistic people do lol
I genuinely cannot help it. I just try to sound like them so they understand me or whatever. Idk it’s weird. My British accent picks up when I talk to my British friends/family but otherwise I’m basically totes American now (I miss my British accent)
