It was a pain in the ass to get this onto here! :p

Forrest (http://media.putfile.com/Forrest)

I was born in Tennessee, USA, but have been all over. People from up North say I sound like a Southerner. People from the South say I sound like a Yankee. People from the Midwest just look at me in a puzzled sort of way. :D
wow that's a pretty commanding, strong voice eut! :eek:
i figured you might be a bit more softly spoken (not sure why... probably the whole "grandpa eut" thing :p), but i'm impressed :D




Pure Metal- Your sound clips didn't work on my comp, just a fraction of a second long...
bah, works fine for me.

anyone else got any problems? i could use putfile if it would help...

Hey now ... I'm not that bad. :p

Of course not! Yours is actually pretty interesting.

I'll post on this later, when I have a sound recording of my voice.

I had no problems (apart from uncontrollable giggling, that is ;)).

@Eutrusca: Ooh, nice!

@Peechland: Yes, please put up your sample! I'd love to hear a Southern sample. And to me, Southern better be like something Tim Blake Nelson would say in O Brother where art thou or I won't recognize it :p. Keruvalia didn't quite satisfy that craving; goes to show that I've never been to the South & have a very wrong picture of "the" Southern accent.
And ever since I heard Stephen King narrate an audio book, even "the drawl" has lost its Southern distinction to my unfamiliar ears (btw, if this doesn't call for a sample from Maineiacs, I don't know what does ;))

here we go...

edit: oh i'm from southern britain


You There!

You MUST do me a favor!

Please...do another recording, and say the following line:

"Piss off you grotty little wanker."

Give it some feel...

I sound very tired right now.

Aw, come on, you could be the *drumroll* first Kiwi in the thread! Actually, even the first Non-American or Non-European!

And yes, I'm just curious enough to keep lobbying random people, thank you very much. :)

Yes, I was bored. Shush, you! :p

The first one is my normal accent. I was just having a bit of fun with the other two...

http://media.putfile.com/My-voice-duh

Yes, I was bored. Shush, you! :p
That has to be the most funky accent yet. "Roights"! Brilliant.:p Where are you from?

I think I'm going to see if Turqoise Days will call me up and read the phone book or something. *sigh*

Same with Complusive Depression.

We do NOT have enough of these kinds of accents here in the US. grr...
Hehehe, thanks! But, the phone book? Something with a little more gravitas, please.;)

Well, here's me, with very bad morning allergies. I'm not usually this nasal... Or groggy. :p

http://media.putfile.com/Me-with-very-bad-morning-allergies

I might post later, if I can figure out how. Anyway. several of the files (notably Sinuhue's) didn't work on my computer. But of the ones I did hear...

Smunkee: you sound like every girl I went to high school with (learned to talk in Pennsylvania, where I was born, but grew up in Texas)
PM: Sounds like a newsreader on the BBC.
Eutrusca:You're the guy that narrates those documentaries for the History Channel, right?
SimNewtonia: sounds like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins
Fass: If I can ever find a way, I intend to steal your voice.:D

I figured, why the heck not?

http://media.putfile.com/An-Aussie-trying-a-brit-voice

Pretty obvious what I'm trying there. And where I'm from, whereyouthinkyougoing. Oh, and don't worry folks, I only just got my mic working (it seems the windows reinstalls have fixed my problem, yaay. Oh, and unchecking the 'Mute' option... :D :headbang:

Holy crap, you're an Aussie? :eek:
But, but... I don't know what to say.
At least tell me that yours is a bit of an unusual Australian accent, will ya?

Truth be told, I don't hear Australian too often, and it may well be that I need some specific key words/prounuciations to recognize it. A "mate" or two would have helped. :p

Very interesting thread. However, I'll be refraining from giving internet acquaintances the ability to identify me.

Holy crap, you're an Aussie? :eek:

You couldn't tell by the first one? :p

Thank you :)
Are you putting a sample up? Can't have enough southern belles!

Eut - do you have a sideline doing voiceovers for movie trailers? If not you should!

Potarius: You need more coffee ;)

No stereotypical nerd voices yet? Ho, hum!

Well, here's me, with very bad morning allergies. I'm not usually this nasal... Or groggy. :p

http://media.putfile.com/Me-with-very-bad-morning-allergies
It's Fass! :eek:

Seriously, you sound like his long lost twin brother. Once more I can't quite follow you with the nasal thing, but I like your voice. Do you always talk this slowly? And aren't you only 19 or something? 'Cause you sound a lot older.

You couldn't tell by the first one? :p
Obviously not.:rolleyes: But I listened to it again, and well, now that I know, I guess it is rather obvious, isn't it? *finds hole to crawl into*

whereyouthinkyougoing: Maaate, seriously...

I haven't even listened to Fass' voice yet... This is weird. :p

Nasal... Ah, I guess I'm not really that nasal. And no, I only talk this slowly when I've just gotten up.

And I've always sounded a lot older than I am. Fitting, I guess.

whereyouthinkyougoing: Maaate, seriously...

Ahahaha. The "woater" is the kicker, though. :p

You know Greek.:eek:

OK, one last one. I heard a rant on radio about this today, so figured I'd try it out.

Introducing the Delhi marketer:

And to think I turned off Big City Nights for that. You bastard. :p

And to think I turned off Big City Nights for that. You bastard. :p

Note that I wiped it. It may violate TOS, so I promptly deleted it.

Oh, and it was a Sydney radio station. He ranted on how they're trying to claim for being abused. Or something like that...

You know Greek.:eek:
What makes you think I wouldn't?
Ah, I shouldn't tell you, esp. seeing how you screwed me over about you having blond hair, blue eyes, and a red drunkard's face, but I do in fact merely have mad googling skillz.

Note that I wiped it. It may violate TOS, so I promptly deleted it.

I don't see how it could violate the TOS... Oh well, best not try it, what with the mods being so pissy and all. I made my own, but all for naught.

Stereotypical Indian convenience store managers are fun to mimic. :p

Note that I wiped it. It may violate TOS, so I promptly deleted it.
Funny, though! Even the Delhi-Marketers pun was good! :)

I didn't actually delete the file, mind. Just my link from here. So if all links here are removed, I can be TG'ed for the link. ONLY DO SO IF YOU ARE NOT OFFENDED BY MOCKING VOICES. IT IS NOT INTENDED IN A MEAN WAY.

Having mentioned that, I don't know if it's against putfile's TOS... Edit: It doesn't appear to be.

I would note again that no offense is intended to any people of or from India. I've met a few and you seem to be quite nice people generally. If anything, it's the western corporations that are responsible for this.

Yep. I had some Indian friends when I was younger. Great people.

*shakes fist at corporations for paying them next to nothing for working all day*

Ahahaha. The "woater" is the kicker, though. :p

Yeah, that's what happens when your mind is ahead of your voice. I got kinda flummoxed...

...what should I say? Someone give me something to say, and i'll record it.

Heh, i'm really bad at adlibbing. I *was* digging through a poetry book but it really wasn't appropriate to read out.
Eh, we don't need poetry, but a bit more than 5 freaking words would be nice.

The accent in "styuopid" made me giggle, and your voice sounds really nice (and indeed quite sexy, thought that just might be the low volume :p), so don't make me beg for more. Because it's not going to be pretty. And you wouldn't want to see me cry, would you now? 'Cause it's getting close, I'm telling you. http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/sad021.gif

I cannot believe that pitiful smiley I stole from Fass didn't guilt you into recording something already! Your heart must be made of granite. Granite, I say.


Okay, so this needs a more proactive approach. Here's what you'll say:

- if your heart is really made of granite
- what you are looking at when you look at the wall right over your computer
- if you will finally let your hair grow out again
- what's the last thing you had to eat
- why you talk in such a styuopid accent :p
- and why you make me beg like this.

And don't you DARE and just read off this list!
Now, shoo, shoo, off you go.

I love this thread. :D "Crappy attempt 54"? :p

I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but to my ears, there aren't many Englishers who manage to not sound sexy. You certainly don't. I guess the "intelligence" reading could waver depending on the accent, but yours is a very intelligent sounding one. *nod*

Sorry, putfile was a little slow uploading that...

Now, in return, I want you to say something in that stern army sergeant voice of yours. Heheh.

I've never done this before, so I hope it works.

I am convinced that I sound nothing like this in real life, however.

Yeah, I'm still convinced there's really a tiny little woman living in my laptop who somehow makes me believe that that voice I'm "recording" (yeah right) isn't actually hers.

But you do have a very nice voice on sound file, so all is good. :)

Holy damnit Tribes. I...I cant...good LORD! You sound....*faints*

*wakes up*

Tribes, I had no idea you had such a deep sexy voice. You really should make more of an effort to keep me from stalking you, you know.


And Potarius...you DO sound like you could be Fass's brother. neato!

WYTYG- what a lovely voice. I'll be sure to record several different ramblings for you.:)

Kanabia! I love it! *giggles*

Alrighty then. I'm officially weirded out now.

wow. You sound just like I thought you would. :p
Really? That's highly unusual.

So how did you "think" I would sound, pray tell? :)

Thanks. And yay!

No doubt some of the more fluent posters will pick on me :p

Oh come on, don't play all coy now. It's a good thing to have.

Sure, if the recipient is a gay posh englishman. *cries*

:p

Really? That's highly unusual.
I am highly unusual, so it makes sense.

So how did you "think" I would sound, pray tell? :)
strong, confident, intelligent.

You sound a lot like my husband to tell you the truth, kinda have that "wise father"/ "I will do anything to protect my family" vibe. LOL

it's hard to explain. You have the daddy voice, my husband has that, he commands respect with his voice, kids that aren't even ours mind my husband just because of the way he speaks, it's not threatening, it just has this "you better listen to me" thing going on.

Holy damnit Tribes. I...I cant...good LORD! You sound....*faints*

Tribes, I had no idea you had such a deep sexy voice. You really should make more of an effort to keep me from stalking you, you know.
lol, my first (and only) stalker. My voice isn't that deep, is it? Anyway, I entirely disagree with you; no Northern Accent can sound sexy. It's the law.

LOL! Well, thank you very much.

It's interesting you should mention that about kids other than yours. All of the neighborhood boys use to hang out at our house when my two sons were younger. One day I asked one of them why they always picked our place to hang. He said, "Well, Mrs. Horn is a great cook, and with you we always know where we stand. It's kinda like good food plus attitude." I should have that engraved and placed over my computer desk. :)

Then we will have to fight it out to see who is right. I think a verbal exchange would be best. Of course, the fact that I would be mesmerized by your voice the entire time gives me a disadvantage. You could easily give me a right hook to the jaw and I'd be none the wiser.

I think you should record something else so I can start a collection. Do it please. Do it now.

Oh and Smunk...you have such a sweet voice. I think I was expecting it to be a little bit deeper. You have a gentleness in your voice.:)

Some rusty Japanese. (http://media.putfile.com/Rusty-Japanese)
Very cool. Not that I know any Japanese, mind you. Your voice sounds very different.

Sure, if the recipient is a gay posh englishman. *cries*
What? At least you'd understand each other. :D

Oh alright, I'm kidding. Didn't I say it worked wonders on women? So there. Women are swooning all over the place. And you're just fishing for compliments. ;-)


@Eutrusca: "good food plus attitude"? Brilliant! :D

Very cool. Not that I know any Japanese, mind you. Your voice sounds very different.

Yeah, i imagine my conversational voice differs from my "ooh i'm recording something" voice too...probably a good deal more relaxed.

And you're just fishing for compliments. ;-)

Nonsense. I've learned my lesson - when I do that, I only get bitten.

:p

Yeah, i imagine my conversational voice differs from my "ooh i'm recording something" voice too...probably a good deal more relaxed.
Yeah, I can see that. I think most people on here do sound quite different in RL, myself most certainly included.

I didn't bite. :confused: But I'm easy that way.

my husband was a youth minister for a while (he left that job about 2 years ago) and the teenagers still hang out at our house, the neighborhood kids hang out in our yard a lot when he is out there playing with the girls too, it's weird, kids flock to him and he isn't all that "fun" he is really quiet and doesn't speak unless he has to, but when he does everyone stops to listen. :p

I didn't bite. :confused: But I'm easy that way.

Gah, it was a joke. Fishing? Bites? *shakes head* :rolleyes: :p

This is a southern NZ accent done with no front teeth (bike accident waiting for implants to hell etc :p) and through headphones
Curious to know how foreigners describe it so any feed back would be nice :)

Oh and Smunk...you have such a sweet voice. I think I was expecting it to be a little bit deeper. You have a gentleness in your voice.:)
yeah, I think that's why little kids like me, I can have a very calming voice when I want to. ;)

I used to work at a toy store and I could stop kids from throwing fits by just walking over to them and asking "what's wrong?" they just stopped crying and looked at me, I would talk to them for about 30 seconds and then they were fine. The parents loved me. It got to a point though that kids would come search me out in the store on Saturdays, one parent said that her kid asked to go to the toy store to "talk to Ms. Joey about a problem". LOL He didn't want anything he just had a problem and thought I could help him. (I did help him, I took an early lunch and talked to him in the break room)

Yeah, i imagine my conversational voice differs from my "ooh i'm recording something" voice too...probably a good deal more relaxed.

ur accent isnt actually too bad, to most of us NZers the aussie accent is really annoying, whiney etc, but the melbournain (sp?) one doesnt seem too bad :p

Gah, it was a joke. Fishing? Bites? *shakes head* :rolleyes: :p
God, seriously? That was so bad, I'm not even embarrassed that I didn't get it. Well, okay, maybe a bit. :p

Well, I was born in Adelaide, then moved to Perth, and then moved here about 9 years ago. Although I didn't really notice any regional variation between them, so eh.

My foreign brain is all messed up by now and mixing up Aussie and English even worse than before, so I'd need at least another Kiwi to record something (hear that, lazy Harlesburg?). At the moment I'm mainly noticing that it sounds like, well, Aussie/English (sorry guys :(), that you have a really deep, sonorous voice, and that your lacking some incisors. :D

I was talking to someone from perth the other day (a call center i think) and I thought their accent sounded horrible, maybe it varies alot from person to person over there

You wound me....Goolia. :p
Ooh, Topher, are we actually going there? Just when you were cruising along so nicely on that bedroom voice - BAM you slam yourself into a brick wall. :p

If I ever get into the name ridiculing game with somebody, I have two bulletproof names. You can't touch me on that one. :p

I think it does. I don't think there's just one "Australian" accent. Some people really do have irritating voices, and others sound nearly British.


Ooh, Topher, are we actually going there? Just when you were cruising along so nicely on that bedroom voice - BAM you slam yourself into a brick wall.

Hehehe. What if I said it seductively with the bedroom voice, though? Would that work?

oooooh... slow but way cool!

Yeah, I'll admit that was very slow for me. I tend to talk slowly when I'm not feeling very good, or when I've just awakened.

I talk much faster and more clearly when I've eaten and showered. :p

coffee *nods*

though i had an american teacher for a year (teaching english... oh the irony) from south carolina who kept on being amazed at 'how fast all us folks talked over here' (he would say extra-slow for added effect)... ah he was a cool teacher :)

1: I dislike coffee.

IIRC you sounded pretty fast to me (certainly your german)

oooh you sound way less silly IRL than you have me believe on here! you sound too intelligent and sensible... you need a voice more lile.... that guy from Police Academy! yeah! :p

Two against one! I also agree that you have a really sexy voice!

oh yes! :p

Comments (in the order that the recordings were posted on the thread)


Smunke- You sound young (I think that has been mentioned) and you also sound like you are "reading". Maybe it's just your accent, but do you notice a difference in your voice when you are reading and when you are talking? If so, I'd like to hear your talking voice. And a random comment that actually applies to your accent- compared to my accent, the letter "s" is more pronounced when you say it. Singing voice guess: Messo-soprano

Sinuhue- Your "s" sounds are even more pronounced than Smunke's (I'm starting to wonder if I pronounce my "s" at all...) Not to sound like a creepy guy online (although I'm sure I do), but you have a very rational, soothing voice. Singing voice guess: Alto

-note- I'm noting a "reading" tone to all the samples. Perhaps we should record a bit (15s) of normal talking, conversation style, after the reading portion? And maybe a singing portion, if anyone is brave enough?

Keruvalia- Your drawl screams Texan, and I love it. Singing voice guess: Bass

Wallonochia- You talk very fast, almost like an auctineer. Once again I note that most people have an "s" consonant that is much more pronounced than mine. Singing voice guess: Baritone

Fass- Finally, some conversational chatter. Firstly, I would like to compliment you. I don't know anyone fluently bilingual personally, and I suppose I can't properly judge your Swedish, but you seem to transition between English and Swedish very fluidly (actually, you speak 3 languages in the clip ;)). Your english is very easy to understand, and your accent reminds me of someone I know... I'll have to ask him where he's from, perhaps near you (do you live in the US?) Singing voice guess: Baritone

Sarkhaan- Your normal accent is very similar to mine, I think, except with more sustained vowels. The Boston accent- well, I can tell where you got those vowels from. Where did you live before the Boston area? Singing voice guess: Bass

Pure Metal- Your sound clips didn't work on my comp, just a fraction of a second long...

Shotagon- The southern drawl didn't stand out until you said conscience... then it almost sounded like the Boston accent... and yes, your voice is rather strange. But it isn't too different from mine (Ohio) Singing voice guess: Tenor

Grave_n_idle- Your voice has a "hollow" tone to it (probably due to the cold). I picked up a bit of the South, but other than that, I'm guessing in the dark. Singing voice guess: Tenor, but that's a random guess because of the cold

Moto the Wise- Yes, very posh indeed. It almost seems like your "o" and your "a" vowels have switched. Singing voice guess: Tenor

Whereyouthinkyougoing- Something like a New Jersey accent, I think (but I could be wrong). You remind me of Harley Quinn from Batman, but with a bit less of an accent. Singing voice guess: Soprano

Erastide- Almost no accent, to my ears, although you do talk kind of fast (but not nearly as fast as Wallonochia). Singing voice guess: Messo Soprano

Northrop-Grumman- In my opinion, your accent is similar to Shotagon's. Close to mine (except for the electrical sounds that zing through... are you a robot?) up until the word conscience. Singing voice guess: Baritone

I'll stop there for now...
Hey, anyone else find this interesting and want to hear GM do more?

Sorry, Peech. I can never think of things to say to women :rolleyes:

Also, I may sound slightly older but I look about 12, so it cancels out.

@PM: Dude, please don't even think it.:p

I think we should lobby for Aerou and Peechland voice recordings, if they don't already exist. :)

And for the record, that headphone thing doesn't work for SHIT on my computer. It took me two damn days to find my microphone. Now THAT is determination.

Didn't think I'd do this. Oh well. Meh, I got a bit carried away.

Simonist']That second one totally reminded me of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget.....It was who it was supposed to be c.c I didn't think I'd say incase I'd get lambasted for sounding nothing like him.

I find it hard to read long sentences in that voice as I find it needs lots of breath. Which is why it pauses in certain places. It wasn't meant to be dramatic. I'll stop talking now.

Fass's voice seems familiar... but I can't place a name to it.

*goes round clicking more links*

Smunkee sounds too young to be a mum...

Ooooh, so glad to have gotten that spot-on.....

I'm shocked that Smunkee sounds younger than me....unless I'm just putting a positive twist on my own voice.....which is totally possible

hmm...a bit to catch up on here.
Tribes...wow. I wasn't expecting such a deep voice...granted, we're both lanky bastards, and both have somewhat deep voices, so maybe it goes with the territory. But definatly not unintelligent or unsexy...er...um...you know what I mean. right? ...right? guys?

Kanabia...er...tof. nice. I like the accent, and pretty much what I expected. Although, a bit less...sinister.

WYTYG...cute. very cute.

Iile, again, quite cute. me gusta.

I think I'm forgetting someone...

oh
potarius...*hands a red bull* haha...I see the fass connection, but I think its just the allergies.

Simonist: Your voice sounds really refined. Like you've had voice training or something. I don't know if you have, but that air of sophistication it gives you is making you sound older. I really like the way you said endowed. Don't asky me why, it jsut sounds nice.

Incredibly enough, that is actually pretty close to how my voice sounds in RL (or at least in my head). Though probably not when I speak English, seeing how it's higher pitched then.
So, I like it, obviously. :D

potarius...*hands a red bull* haha...I see the fass connection, but I think its just the allergies.
I don't know, I could swear he pronounced some things just like Fass would, although that's unlikely, seeing how he's Texan and Fass does have a Swedish accent. Ah well, maybe he'll post an "awake" sample, too.

Quite nice, indeed.
I love how Eastern European accents sound so nice, and the language sounds so angry. Saying "I love you" sounds like they should be saying "you're dead to me!"

Simonist']I really liked Kanabia's, though....he sounded a bit less, um, intelligent than I suspected he would, but I can forgive that.Really I found it sounded fairly intelligent. But then I tend to operate on a view of intelligence, somewhat like negetive freedom. You assume intelligence until I find evidence to suggest otherwise.

I've been acting since about a couple of months ago. After the first night I swore I'd never act again. I felt like I fumbled every 5th line. Luckily no one seemed to notice. Either that or they were kind enough not to say just how bad I was to my face.

Try living in East London for a few years... you'll get over it quickly. That nasal upturn just starts getting to one after a while.

Wow, listening to my voice clip again, I can't believe I was talking so slow! Holy fuck (yeah, I've finally gotten "up")!

I have to object. Kanabia, you merely sound equally as silly as the rest of your unfortunate countrymen.

Well, it's cold up here, if we took the time to stand around talking we'd freeze to death :p

Well here's the reason I'm curious to know what other people think: I live smack in the middle of the US, but not the twangy part (Kansas City, actually); my father's side, to whom I'm very close, are all Irish, and many of the older ones on my mother's side still somewhat retain their Irish or English accents, especially when angry or piss-drunk (both of which they frequently are). The nuns at the school I went to early on in life were from France, as was my acting coach when I was young.

Most of my speech hasn't been influenced by "American" sounding sources, so of course I get made fun of here. But when I talk to people from other areas they think I'm totally faking it. I just feel like I'm the only person in the world who speaks like this and it's kind of disheartening.

The nuns at the school I went to early on in life were from France, as was my acting coach when I was young.

I certainly wouldn't have guessed you were Kansan. I stayed overnight in Manhattan a few times en route from Michigan to Colorado or vice verse, and none of them sounded remotely like you.

I have to object. Kanabia, you merely sound equally as silly as the rest of your unfortunate countrymen.

On the bright side, your accent seems to fit what I imagined you to sound like, and your personality, so I'm happy.
hahaha too true... australian accents rock :p

but thankfully i've heard kanabia's before so t'was not that shocking this time ;) (remember that VOIP IM thing tink tried to get people on once? ah man that was aaaages ago...)

Im not entirely sure this worked.

Thats a Michigan accent, if there is such a thing.

Its also a tired michigan voice, that should have been in bed hours ago.

Ah, the "news anchor" accent. That explains it a little. Then there's the deep. I wish I had a deep voice, then it wouldn't give away my wussyness so quickly.

hehe well i remember you confusing me into thinking you were a 'southern ponce' (from england) like me... so maybe you did that too :p

i hear that :(

i hear that :(
If you came here you could read the phone book and people would gather around to hear. You're just surrounded by too many other brits...

Uh ... no, but I've considered it from time to time. Why? Think I could make a go of it? :)
They're always voiced by those Big, Deep, Serious Americans; until I heard your voice I didn't realise there were really people who sounded like it!

Well here's the reason I'm curious to know what other people think:
You sound American to me, but it's soft and refined. Not so sharp as many American accents you hear (on the telly or in films). I like it :)

i hear that :(
You *do* have a deep voice!

So I found my copy of Audacity and am fucking around anyway, so I thought I'd do this when the thread is too long for anyone to notice I actually did anything...

I didn't read the Human Rights thing, I thought I'd read a passage out of one of my plays to be more conversational, but that's really just how that character talks and since I'm no actor it just ends up being me reading it really fast. So I don't know how much value can come out of it, but I did it, so whatever.

As I say in the recording, the views and opinions expressed by that character are of the characters and do not neccisarily reflect the view of the author (you should see what happens to him in the end...) Also, not the best example of my writing, but whatever.

Now that I've hedged, hemmed and hawed...here it is. (http://www.gimehost.com/sCX2rsyAN4s3AYBjfE0b)

Of course, I'm glad about the hemming and hawing beforehand, or otherwise I'd never gotten that TG, so all's good.

And your recording is very fitting, seeing how you work in film: it's the first one I've heard on here that actually made me feel like sitting in one of these non-subtitled movies where the characters mumblereallyfast. I have the feeling I didn't understand anything, but I totally got the gist of things. :p

:( My computer won't play putfile stuff! :( This sucks man. However, of those that I did hear, they were great:

Fass... wow, just wow. Frankly just bloody brilliant. I don't know what to say except... I dunno, could you record some more? Hehe, just can't get enough of that wonderful stuff ya know.

Whereyouthinkyougoing - Mmmm... this may sound a little creepy but your voice is, in an entirely metaphorical sense, edible! I may be going a bit mad, but is there a hint of an Eastern European in there? Only you sound a bit like one of my friends (who has a very strong Eastern European accent). As I say it may just be me going mad.

PM - Aaaah the duleet tones of a proper accent :D good stuff

CToaN - The accents pretty funky, but the best bit was the play! Haha, genius stuff.

There were probably a whole load of others, but I can't remember them.

Well...."six spoons" is incredibly difficult for me to say.....

http://media.putfile.com/Stella-Elicitation-ParagraphArticle-I


Purposely thickened up your accent for that recording? "Dees" instead of "these"? "Ve vill"? You don't talk like that...

:( My computer won't play putfile stuff! :( This sucks man.
I agree. At first I was able to play the putfile recordings, but know they are kaput. :(

Oh, so much to catch up on. This thread is killing me. In a good way. :p

Wow, listening to my voice clip again, I can't believe I was talking so slow! Holy fuck (yeah, I've finally gotten "up")! Yup. :D

Smunkee, if you have time you should think about editing everyone's sound-clips into a list at the begining of the thread for easy referance. I'll be turning back to it frequently, I know. That would be terrific!

Two days ago, I was able to hear the clips from the putfile source....now the web site doesn't even load. Anybody else having the same problem? I can't get any of the putfile one's either. Methinks we've crashed it... Hm, works for me. What doesn't work, however, is if you save the page with the sample and try to listen to it then (doesn't even load then). You have to use the link in thread. (At least it's that way for me). Maybe people *should* use another host. That www.gimehost.com I used seems okay (found it through google), also it seems they won't delete files after a while (unlike the files in the old thread).

Now, I hate that. I honestly don't know whether to be "omg I sound stupid" or "omg people like my voice". Grr. :mad: :p Well, I didn't think you sounded styuopid. Although I can't believe you recorded that human rights article rather than my due sample of sexy bedroom voice. *pouts*

http://media.putfile.com/me-voice90 Hee. Where are you from?

How do you do this thing? I gotta mic at the ready:D Speak into mic, record (if you're computer illiterate like me, just use the windows sound recorder (start > programs > accessories > media > sound recorder. Or something like that, my windows is in german, sorry ;)), and then upload file to somewhere we can access.

And you a REALLY sexy voice. I love that accent. Whereyouthinkyougoing - Mmmm... this may sound a little creepy but your voice is, in an entirely metaphorical sense, edible! I may be going a bit mad, but is there a hint of an Eastern European in there? Only you sound a bit like one of my friends (who has a very strong Eastern European accent). As I say it may just be me going mad.
Why thank you *blushes*. Seems I'm a hit in England :p. Which is nice, considering your sexy accent, but also a bit ironic, considering that I'm German and the Tommies usually don't seem too hot about the Krauts :D. Except PM, of course, but he's just lovely like that (also part German, hehe).


@CTOAN & PM: Aw, come on, you both have deep voices. Maybe not quite as Barry White-ish as Backwoods Squatches (perfect match of user name & voice :D), but certainly deep enough. Certainly not wussy. :rolleyes:

I listen to myself and hear no accent.....I want to hear how weird I sound!!!! Haha.
That soft accent of yours makes little fingers run up and down my spine! :D

And it sounds as if your original accent was modified somewhat by having learned British English. Is that at all accurate??

ROFL!

There is definately an accent that is unique to the Army, especially how we pronounce the word "Sergeant".

edit: In fact, here's my NCO voice, which isn't all that scary. Warning, there is some mild profanity.

NCO Voice (http://media.putfile.com/NCO3)
Good, but you should "pump up the volume!" :D

I've always had good lung capacity and it gave me a great "parade ground bellow." As a matter of fact, that huge volume once saved my older son from either serious injury or death. We were at the PX at Fort Benning, Georgia just coming out the front doors with our ( at the time ) three children. As three year olds are sometimes prone to do, he shot out the door and was going to run into the parking lot. There was a car coming along the front of the PX and I saw it just in time to yell at maximum volume, "Mark! STOP!" He came to a screeching halt just inches from the car. My wife almost had heart-failure. :eek:

My wife almost had heart-failure. :eek:
As did probably everyone else in earshot. :D

I agree. At first I was able to play the putfile recordings, but know they are kaput. :(

Hehe, bazing! But yeah, it keeps saying the playlist format isn't recognised or something.

Hehe - my pleasure. German eh? That would explain it, and don't worry - I've nothing against Germans :) (If I did I'd die of hypocrisy - there's a hot German girl in my philosophy class who I've spent the last few weeks eyeing up lol). But yeah, germans are fine... Argentinians however :D (j/k)

Oh, and I'm glad my little brain made me turn the volume wayyyy down beforehand!

*feels all honored* ;)

I like it! But yeah, that's obviously very Southern. Apart from the "i", though, I think it comes out most in words like the "okay" in the beginning, or "say" (well, that's what was in the sample anyway). Just the pronunciation of the vowels is so different. And funny. In a good way! :p

WE GOT A PEECHLAND!

And some extras with it. Wonderful voice Peech:D

Hee. Where are you from?

Oh. I really have no ear for English accents. :(
