Default 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!"

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

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

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))

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.

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.

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

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

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.
