wow-thats exactly how I sound

wow-thats exactly how I sound

:eek: me too, like totally dude :p

Dude, that's like how everyone in the US sounds. We're a righteously bitchin nation, dude.

Sounds like Bill n' Ted. Or any such 'stupid American rock artist, probably on pot and not quite got a clue what's going on' role you find in films.

I wanna hear your Joisey accent. I should call you up

I wish I could sound liket he guy when he's talking in his normal (drop dead sexy) british accent.

That's like so totally cool, man...

His normal? That was a regional accent. Middle class maybe, but he definitely had region in it. Bit rusty on where though...maybe Manchester...

It doesn't sound like an accent to me, so it would be cool to get an outside perspective.

So which accent do you have. Try the Speech accent archive (http://classweb.gmu.edu/accent/) to identify yours.

I'll edit to post mine when I've found it.

The closest to me is English Speaker no. 38 (Peech beat me to it. :( )

http://classweb.gmu.edu/accent/
Even though I haven't been asked, I shan't let that stop me from butting in and posting which one is closest to me!
:D

It seems the closest to my accent is English speaker #30.
EDIT:
I find it rather odd, seeing as I'm not Canadian, yet it is the accent from St. Mary's, Ontario, Canada that I sound most like.

Ah ... the California beach accent. Straight outta Orange County. I've known a few people with that accent ... mostly surfers.

Guessing from the labels seeing I don't have the plugin, English Southampton. No.58

What a shitty accent, people would think you're a dumbarse.

That doesn't seem to have anything close to my accent at all. Maybe I should submit a sample ...

I sound like this:

Please cawl Stella. Ask heh to bring dese thangs wit heh from de stow.

You may make fun of my Cajun accent, but if you heard it, you'd wish you had it. :D

I'm a cross between English #68 and #107. I'm told that it's a general Pennsylvania accent.

This speech thing is off, because the Atlanta accent is waaay off. Im still searching for mine (Southern accent) but heres what the locals sound like where I live......I'm not kidding either:

Shit, that's awful!

And yeah, a lot of those accents seem off. I mean, I play Half-Life with college guys in Pittsburgh, and they sound just like I do. They must've gotten some people from the suburbs to do the Pittsburgh ones...

I'm only guessing. I'm an E'bournian. (born in London, but that doesn't count)

I have a great Serial Killer accent, I'm told that it gives the impression I'm on the verge of stabbing people.

It's great.

I have to hear that.....

haha...

i actually sound pretty similar to the "English Speaker from Belfast, Northern Ireland"

I wonder why that is...

hehe...i wonder :p

ah but theres a great variation in Belfast accents

I would suppose so, but probably not as much as London.

Nope, no slurs or profanity. Just a low, cold, grating voice.

maybe not....

but it goes from the faux-posh-english accent to the really broad Belfast accent that i have trouble making out sometimes (if its really bad)



i notice you are moving to Pittsburgh? the dialect there seems to be derived from Ulster (at least, it seemed to me that way when i was there)

Pitt's got a huge mix of accents that mold together. Polish, German, British, Scottish, Italian, Irish, and a lot of others.

one word did it for me..."Sammitch", which apparently is Pittsburghese

when its clearly Ulster-ish :p

hardly anyone talks like that in the U.S. There are a few people bet they're mainly from California. Even so, it's not really an accent that I generally hear. and I live in California. near the coast.

Don't forget the "Yinz wanna go dahntahn (or dahwntahwn) 'n pick up some Arhn (or Airhn) City 'n Jumbo 'innat?".

Of course, this is only in the heaviest case. The majority of the people don't say "yinz" or "innat".

Dude, that's like how everyone in the US sounds. We're a righteously bitchin nation, dude.

heck yes! :cool:
