The Honor Spren Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I recorded my voice. I sound a lot younger on recording then I do in real life, but . . . that happens. And I think I was on too much sugar when I did this. It's really quiet, because I don't know where the mic is on this computer, so turn your volume up.

Ookla the Absent Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I pick up the accent of whoever I talk with. I can't imitate accents for the life of me, but I steal them in the moment. I've actually had to translate between dialects of english for my friends before. It was kinda funny. Had to go from thick northeastern (Boston, IIRC) to Washingtonian. @Mistrunner: What part of Washington are you from? All my friends from there call it soda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookla the Absent Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Huh, my friends are from the Poulsbo/Silverdale/Bremerton area. I think it was originally called soda pop basically everywhere, to differentiate from other sodas (i.e. W&S). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Steelheart Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) I have been told I have an Australian accent, but I often have it mistaken for British Edited December 10, 2015 by Queen Elsa Steelheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I have been told I have an Australian accent, but I often have it mistaken for British That's 'cause so many of us uncultured 'Murricans can't tell the difference. Disclaimer: I can totally tell the difference between Australian and British accents. I'm even getting to the point where I can pick out the differences to ID a South African accent. I cannot, however, discern the difference between Australian and New Zealand accents. Therein lies my fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestis the Spider Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 So, when I'm in Poland I speak mostly "pedantic Polish" with probably some Mazovian influences. Though Polish language has soo many rules in every aspect that there is no room for accents so different from one another as English accents to even appear. Even Polish dialects sound mostly all the same, I think. I seriously doubt that any non-Polish person would be able to recognise any difference in Polish accents. But maybe I'm wrong and you're just better at accent recognition than I am. Because I am really bad at that. When I speak English I get quite obvious Polish accent, though not as hard as some people. My English is obviously stiffer and harsher than it should be. And also I use limited number of vowel sounds, as we simply don't have so many vowels in Polish, as you use in English, so it's a little hard for me to remember to try to pronounce them all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
