Accents/voice

[Mentok]

I'm from the south so I have a southern accent, although I try my best to contain it at all times.

 

[Blind Guardian]

This is me.

You sound almost Irish.

 

[Pessimism]

good idea Runk. I like your accent. I didn't know Swedes also did the v/w pronunciation thing when speaking English.

don't make fun of my geeky voice

That was awesome.


If any here were even capable of comprehending my diction, I guarantee you would, if male, be both flaccid and erect at once. The sheer pain would cause you to suffer immensely, so much so in fact that your bowels would quickly void as your physical form would shake violently as it was in the midst of the throe's of death.

If you are a woman, you would probably not be that impressed because you are all mean.

[Chanakya]

You sound almost Irish.

Seriously?

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Here's me in English.

Dear God you sound creepy! Very kvlt.

 

[DarkBliss]

You think?

I was gonna replace it with something more expressive and metal-minded like a reading of a revised short excerpt from Dickens' Great Expectations replacing certain words with all sorts of vulgarities and metal references.But it proved to me more time-consuming that I imagined, and I couldn't really make it into a hilarious coherent whole. Oh well...

Man that would've been fun You do sound like a kvlt kinda sleazy Russkie.

 

[DarkBliss]

Ha, thanks.

Hey, we should make a thread out of this: butcher famous literary pieces with all sorts of profanity and irrelevance.

So when did English become American English? If a person from Thailand is speaking English is it Thai English?

Oh I speak with an English accent

It's just a dialect. American English is kind of on it's own, the rest of the world learns British English.

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

My first language is British English.
Second language is Polish.

 

[razoredge]

I think all the dialects are great and no one should be ashamed or try to cover up their "native tongue". Though if you developed too much of say a hillbilly drawl, slang and phraseing like I have its a good idea to leave it in the closet when away from "home". I have had my own father look at me real strange and say "WHAT!"... Oops !

My sister picked up on the NC accents and terms but is still a mix of that and NY.

 

[razoredge]

My first language is British English.
Second language is Polish.

But arent all the Brits also regional as well as "class" separated ?
-------------------------------------------------------

My fathers second wife spoke "perfect" english... at least the American version, one of these finishing school types and most of the time I felt like slapping it off her lips (because she was also a snot... with nose fully in the air), perfect english is so disgusting.

 

[damnromulans]

Russian accent = BONER

Ananth you sound like a German except you do the w/v thing the opposite way, where you pronounce "W" in American English" as "V" - Germans and Scandinavians do it the opposite way

 

[Cythraul]

Krampus' voice is a lot deeper than I imagined it. No offense or anything. I don't mean like manly deep, just deeper than I thought. I should really stop typing now.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

It's just a dialect. American English is kind of on it's own, the rest of the world learns English English.

Fair play.

 

[King Richard]

Stop being attractive to me krampus.

 

[Valerie]

Fair play.

If English English didn't sound stupid, I'd say it. For now, British English.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Yeah cos British English doesnt sound stupid. Its just English, plain and simple.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I have more recordings of myself lying around on my computer than I'd like to admit, so here are a few to give an idea of what I sound like.
