How would you describe your accent?

I sound like Grace from Will & Grace. Not a very pronounced New York accent, but you can still tell I'm from around here.

I have a basic Midwestern US accent, the kind you hear on the US National news shows. Not far enough south to get that southern twang going, although I do employ it when I want to be more likable.

Like LK, I can do a variety of accents. The tally one drink-soaked evening was around twenty-five different voices I can use and carry conversations in.

I've passed myself off as Australian and Irish before, and I can do a convincing Frenchman or German speaking English. Except to someone who natively speaks that way, however; I'm basically good enough to fool people who don't know any better [img]smile.gif[/img]

Rude mostly.

I generally have a Kadazan Baku accent as I've spent quite some time in Malaysia before. At that time I studied in Chinese school and picked up some of those infamous chinese accent. Which had really annoyed my japanese tutor. She can't stand them. LOL.

However, since I've been to many Asian countries I can easily mask my accent. In China I can speak perfect " Potunghua " and the people there was so suprise that they wouldn't let me go. Same happen to me when I was in Singapore, they all thought I was local.

When speaking English, I have the same accent very many other Estonians do: Bland, emotionless. Estonians have this nifty way of speaking English without expressing much emotion at all. That is maybe so because of what the Estonian language is like - We spell everything exactly how it's written, with very few exceptions. For instance, if I were to write the pronounciation of the word 'Cat' in Estonian, then it would be 'Khätt,' 'Mouse' would be 'Mäuss' and 'Angel' would be 'Eindžel.'

You can pronounce every word more-or-less correctly in the most common, usual way to say them, and still have this accent.

Well, I've lived in Dublin all my life so I have a strong Dublin accent.

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

[Arledrian]

I have a neutralized London accent - you can hear I'm from the south of England but that's about it. I sound kind of like one of those BBC newsreaders [img]tongue.gif[/img]

But it's all charm. And that's a fact. You have what I'd call an 'educated English' accent. Not pretentious, yet not common. Juuuuuust right... [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Awwww cheers! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Since my dad is english I have a pretty generic british accent although I would not be able to place it. Probably Central-England. I can also imitate irish (because I studied there) and american accents (nearly everyone can imitate american since you hear it a lot).
