<font color=pink>Excuse me? A nasal drone is not how I would describe a Californian accent [img]tongue.gif[/img] I happen to think Californians have the best accents out of the 48 contiguous states!

Last time I ever say kiwis have sexy accents! It's all your fault! :D </font>

I have an Australian accent, though not a really broad one like rural folks (and actors who want to seem really ocker on Home and Away :D ). Not as broad as Paul Hogan, for instance, but similar.

I pretty much second everything said by my fellow Dutchies here. We have horrible accents. Possibly the worst in Western Europe.

I would say my accent is well spoken English, which is quite strange for a person to have where I live, everyone here talks like the cast from Eastenders :D But I do on the off occasion when i'm talking with friends use cockney slang i.e 'Score' (£10) and 'Minces' (Mince Pies - Eyes) etc.

No accent at all. Just regular American, except for now and then when I've been around my relatives too much, then a word here and there may sound redneck. I get over it quickly though. :D

Because I've moved around in the US a lot, my accent is basically unidentifiable (neutered)American, with a smidgen of southern US still discernible.

It's not THAT bad, it's only a bunch of politicians who make a mockery of themselves in public when they try to speak English. Most people i know speak much better English than them. Imo the French and Germans have much worse accents than we do.

Me? I don't have an accent. Everyone else does. :D

Much like some others here I can pass some fairly convincing accents though.

What can I say. I was born in Pennsylvania, moved to New York, then moved to Florida where I've lived most of my life. I don't have a clue what kind of accent could amount from all that. I know most of my relatives up in PA sound slightly Canadian, or maybe its a hint of Pennsylavania Dutch? But as for me? Not a single accent I can place.

Just think Colin Farrell. (Except I'm better looking, of course.) :D ;)

Many americans tell me I sound like Colin Farrell (groan) but the truth is I'm better looking than both of ya [img]smile.gif[/img] .
