Do you love your accent?
I miss my southern accent
I always wonder what it's like as someone who grew up upper-middle class in the midwest and then NYC to have an accent. Like I know people SAY that "oh you just don't think you have an accent because it's where you're from blahblahblah" but I really can't imagine that's the case. Like I constantly have to catch myself not falling into the accent of whom ever I'm talking to if they have a really heavy accent, like there's absolutely nothing to my accent at all. It's like I'm a blank canvas of boringness. I talk like a news anchor or those really fancy robot voices you can barely tell aren't human.

kind of wish i could moderate it better

>>52832997
what do you sound like?
>>52831165
yes, but porteño accent is either loved or hated to death
>>52831165
Ye, wizült dubt, ay kän spik rüşän wizült aksınt. Büt qazaq aksınt iz füni. So I can change it(kazakh or russian).
Not even sure I have an accent desu.

Sometimes I feel it's good but sometimes I feel as If spoke like someone from medellin, with that annoying "paisa" accent of theirs.
No, normal chilean people don't have an accent, those fucking flaites do
who hates their voice here? like I can't stand it
>>52831165
Yes, it's better than the typical Singaporean meme accent.
>>52833194
Mexico.
Meh, central mexico accent is one of the most neutral accents. no one here recognizes it.
Fun fact, in the north of Germany, the cleanest German is being spoken.
So I don't have an accent at all in my German.

im in Medellín, I actually like it
The New Orleans accent is very nice sounding to me, though it's hard to describe, because a lot of it is in inflections. For example, people will say "alright" as "AWWWWWWWW-rai", with a really long and drawn out first syllable. Apparently Northern women like it, but I don't know personally since I don't talk to many carpet baggers.
>>52833254
Are you in the Singaporean intelligence?
>>52833336
wtf
Caracans dont have accent..
Rate my dialect. It is the same as John Silver's voice actor.

Yes I do but I wish we still had to transatlantic accents in this country.
I grew up in Alabama. I don't really like it.
>>52831165
I like my accent, but I wish I could roll my r's.

Haha, woo ik leeb da, moin moin! Ik häb etwaas so weetzleek niet gehüürt.
2bh though I have a friend from Hamburg and my other German friends from the Palatinate always laugh at his funny accent.
if you mean my accent when speaking english, yes
I want to sound like a Norwegian speaking english, I don't care if it's not perfect pronounciation
>>52833413
Jeg tenkte hann mente din dialekt (i Norsk).
>>52833357
Really? From an outsider's perspective (in this case me) their accent is pretty recognizable
>>52831165
I move around a lot so it changes.
I used to speak with an RP-type accent when I lived in Harlow, I sounded god knows how awful before that when I lived back home, now I've a boring transatlantic accent because I've lived here for 5ish years.
It's even become hard to pronounce some English words because everyone (understandably) forces Finnish on me and uses Finnish words if they don't know the English equivalent.
Like 'go back to Sokos and return these, you've a kuitti, the nauha is broken'.
Dreading going back home, where I'm from people hate emigrants because they think we fake our accents to look posh. The truth is your average street junkie can't tell the difference between a hipster and a person who lives abroad so who gives a fuck.
>>52833357
lmao
>>52833433
I like my Norwegian accent too. I have one with guttural R, which piss off other Norwegians.
When I was in the military we joked about not letting people with guttural R speak on the radio because of the raspy sound it makes.

Low German accents all sound funny to me. A lot of my pronunciation comes from my Palatinate friends so the difference is offputting.

Yeah well I forgot the Norwegian word for "which" so I assumed you'd get the gist.

I don't know which time period you are from, but Low German (Plattdüütsch) and Frisian are dead.
(Sadly)
Yes
Is a mix of Italian and Spanish
Not really, I sound occa as fuck. Even other Australians tell me my accent is too thick.
Who /rural/ here
>>52831165
Apparently my voice is hot so I guess
>>52833778
>Frisian is dead
No it isn't: my grandpa speaks West Frisian and so does our family overseas. If by "Frisian" you meant Saterland, then yes, I agree.
Are you the SH anon from the Germanic threads?
>>52834236
Yes, I am.
It is dying everywhere and few here speak it.
It's only a matter of time, no one in our generation is able to speak it good enough anymore.
>>52833355
Is that a yes?
I can live with it. it's not interesting, but by north american anglo standards it's at least inoffensive
>>52834256
That sucks, it's a very cool language. Interesting inflections, also very close to English and a lot less harsh than Dutch.
In terms of Platdüütsch, though, is it very similar to Lëtzebuergesch? How much mutual intelligibility is there?
>>52834462
>Lëtzebuergesch
I have never heard of that.
I don't know.
I don't mind it.
Apparently it's pretty heavy though.
i dont really think about it, apparently i have a slight NE accent
Yeah, she's a hit with the ladies overseas. Pretty boring for domestic use though.

Pretty standard midwestern accent with a hint of southern. Not too exciting until I leave the country, then everyone's interested in it.
Yes. Mexico City is best accent in Mexico. Not even memeing.
>>52836241
Why is Mexico City the best?
>>52835847
Do you at least speak Italian?
>>52836403
Its the most neutral.
>>52836213
its a meme you dip
love my spanish accent
hate my english accent because i never use it and i sound full mexican
>>52836186
i bet you pronounce it 'vangcouver' and 'choronto'
I have a deep russian accent when speaking in english, I'm not even russian
I don't know, everyone says it's manly and deep but i dont want to sound like a fucking disgusitng russian scum pig
>>52836432
Yeah, I do
>>52836490
It's really not, I'm surprised how many of you don't notice it.
>>52836596
Well then you have that going for you, which is nice.
>>52836630
its a regional thing. just like how some amerilards say y'all.
Having a southern accent is awful, it's the most unintelligent sounding accent you can have. At least mine is subtle.
My parents are English so I have a mix of that and a Kiwi accent from growing up here
>>52836666
do you speak mexican at least?
>>52836803
spanish my mistake
Guys couldn't keep their hands off me while I was in the US. People in England made fun of me and in Scotland people kept thinking I was racist.
Australian accent is alright.

I hate mine
a friend said I sound like Kat Von D
>>52836885
Yes?
>>52836901
Kek why would they think you were racist?
>>52837523
Australians are notoriously racist.
>B-but anon, I don't have an accent
i dont care about my accent
but when someone speaks with thick russian accent i just ultimately cringe
idk why
Got some kinda faux british one myself.
>>52837550
youre probably just not used to it?
i dont flinch when i hear thick english accents, but trust me whenever a russian posts a vocaroo on here in english it's almost hard to understand
Yes
(Swede on vacation in Japan)
>>52833391
"I have lived there, hi hi! I have never heard nothing so funny."
Is that correct? Dutch looks so similar to German. Or is it Frisian?
>>52837606
Better than faux American at least.
>>52831165
No, not really. My mother had an English accent and my father had a New Zealand accent so I just sound like a posh-ish New Zealander. People mistake me as being English, Australian and most hilariously (but only once) American over here.
Here's a vocaroo http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Uy10pZbIvi
São Paulo's accent is the only good Brazilian accent. All others are untermensch audible rape, especially Carioca's.
I live in Los Angeles so I don't feel like I have an accent even though I'm pretty sure I do. I use "like" as a filler word a lot.

Yeah but I have a good accent and I have a deep voice
>>52838166
You ever thought about voice coaching? I like the timbre of my voice but I am such a lazy speaker, I slur and mumble even when I am sober.
>>52837747
yea I have the same-ish. Mum has a posh nz accent, Dad grew up on a farm, sort of balances out I suppose
>>52837832

>>52831165
honestly my canacuck accent is the only thing keeping me from being an American, so yeah.
I have a Rhode Island accent which is like a bastard lovechild between a Boston accent and an Italian New Yorker accent, with some weird British phrases thrown in.

>>52838501
not that guy but you kind of sound like every asian guy I've ever met in so cal
I dont get what the whole meme is with us Canadians saying we dont say "aboot". Like I'd think i have a perfectly clean accent (Alberta) and then every now and then, i catch myself saying aboot or eh. Now i just embrace it, really.
>>52838501
Oh, a lot of Asian Americans I've met talk really flat like that. So nah I don't think you have an accent.
>>52838526
thats weird as fuck cause i've never lived in a state that wasnt touching the atlantic ocean
>>52838555
have you ever by chance ever been to PEI or Newfoundland? They all talk like that there.
>>52838555
I think it's just cause it's typed wrong, it's more like "a-boat". I think it's cute when Canadians say "sore-y" instead of sorry :3
>>52838562
I think it's cause you clip off some of your words with hard endings and your voice sounds a little stuffy some how. Not sure how to describe it.
>>52838591
oh i know a newfie accent when i hear one.
>>52838605
aboot, aboat. i varies based on how bad the fuck-up was.
Also, how do you say sorry? I thought it was supposed to have "sore" at the front
I like mine. It's kind of an accent for all seasons, at least in the UK.
>>52838660
Here's how I say it:

I love the finnish accent, it sounds endearing.
Like they're trying really hard not to eat their own tongue.
>>52838591
Newfies have their own accent that has nothing to do with this aboot/aboat stuff you stupid fucking dinkus
only gay people and women care about accents

>not speaking in a dialect
I hate my accent I want to rip out my tongue
Polish accent should be banned
>>52831165
i don't even know what accent i have. we were taught to speak with a british accent in school but i wanted to speak with an american accent because that's what i heard in movies. now i have a mixed accent, i pronounce "r" the American way, but everything else the British way. I've been told it's kind of like an Irish accent.
>>52831165
It's not to bad. I'm a Newfoundlander, however it's pretty mild. I think it started to die off in my parents generation when the fishing mainly stopped. It's not hard for me to go full baymen though.
>>52833172
Yes you do it's called the American accent. There is no such thing as neutral.
my japanese is no problem
my english accent...of course not
I have no accent.
My french accent mixed with arabic one? No fuck no
>>52831165
Of course! In Cartagena and the entire coast we speak such a cool accent
>>52846455
excellent
I have a really strong Minnesotan accent. Like not Fargo-tier but close enough. And I've grown to love it after hating it for awhile. It obviously is strongest when I'm visiting my parents, but is heavy regardless.
>>52835939
That'd be me.
>>52831165
Yes, everyone around me love my russian accent.
(I have us citizenship but I went to my parents on a winter holidays)
What are you thinking about slight Russian accent?
>>52848829
As someone with family living in Minnesota, I have to say it's really quite peng.
I don't know what it is about it, you all just seem really friendly and goofy, sort of like with a brummie accent over here I suppose.
I used to hate it when I was younger because I live in a shithole and sounding like I'm from the shithole I'm from wasn't all that appealing. For a few years there, I was considered "posh" by family and friends because I would make a point of changing my accent on certain words. I've learned to embrace and love it now though. I really like the combination of harshness and bluntness mixed with my apperance and voice and apparently quite a few girls outside of my city quite like the "twang" it has too, even though I'd argue it has no twang at all.

>>52849544
Yeah I think border accents sound more inoffensive
>>52831165
yes, its the most pupular in the country and in the region.
when someone talk about "argentinian" accent they are talking (without knowing it probably) about the buenos aires accent.
>>52849617
Isn't that a good thing, largely? Maybe I'm biased because I'm imagining the accent on a woman and I'd naturally prefer them to sound more inoffensive.

I've always been fairly good at pronunciation and accents and whatnot, desu.
Growing up it was more or less a three way split between speaking "general American" at school and with friends, mostly Norwegian (Eastern) with my mom and whatever language my dad felt like addressing me in when he was around. People are usually quite surprised when I say I'm foreign at all. I can, with confidence, say I'm able to pull off a pretty long string of different accents and languages to the point where I'd be able to fool even a native speaker. Be it in a really strong Joual Quebec French accent, Bergensdialekt or the standard suburban Aussie accent, I really do sound very convincing most of the time.
