So what do you sound like?

When I read your posts I give you voices and accents.

I 'know' what Marley, Alice and Woo sound like. They have very strong accents.
Ziggy, Clare and Armandii plus all the regulars have distinctive voices too.

Ive just made myself grin by reading the bun fight on the closed thread in your voices.

Do you have much of an accent?

 

Oh yes indeedy...A strong North Gloucestershire one,very hill billy:runhills::D...NOT 'Gloucester' though

 

How can we say what we think we sound like? I have only spoken on the telephone to miraflores and Sussexgardener and to pete once (and obviously my Sis, Kedi-Gato and DAG whom I have met) ... oh, and Dendrobium in Scotland who someone queried recently. Also to Daisees for many hours during my Mod training.

I did 'voice overs' for Rank Xerox training videos. Some people think I sound 'foreign' ie Canadian, others say 'posh' as I speak correctly and don't um and ah (but that's my Toastmasters training) . I am probably quite common sounding ...

 

Now thats a good one Melinda

When i'm talking to a client or at College then its usually BBC english.

When i'm on site or down the pub then, i've been told, i've got a bit of a West Country Accent, i've lived here for 20 years now. It hit home down the pub when a "newbie" told me he'd just been trout fishing.

I asked, "Where be that too then ?" The blank look that followed made tumbleweed come crashing thru the pub so I translated it straight away into "Where did you go trout fishing exactly? Which he understood.:DOH:

I've got you down as sounding like Hazel O'Connor, with a dash of Poly Styrene.

Armandii sounds like Tom Baker Clueless like the likely lad who isn't rodney bews.

I've met John, so I can't wind him up:D Dave W, like Private Frazier from Dad's army, with a pinch of Father Jack.

Don't take offence anyone, this is only a bit of fun:WINK1:

 

Pretty much RP when working, increasing traces of Sowff London and East End Jewish after a few drinks.

 

Blimey Clare, I bet you souund like me.

 

i think i sound very huchter tuchter ,common as muck,swear like a trooper ,quite singy voice anyone watched "whiskey galore" or similar proper old highlander programmes then thats me :D

 

I don't think Clare sounds like Arthur Dent too Pete

 

I don't think I have a Salford/Manchester accent, and whenever I go out drinking and someone meets me, they always think I'm a student and I've moved here...

I once got asked in Phones4u when I moved to England!

 

Not seen Whiskey Galore, but I had you down as the landlords daughter from the whicker man :D

I bet you're better looking than Brit Eckland though:yess:

The late, great, Poly Styrene, Ziggy, if you please. I have a gentle South Walien accent by the way.lol:D

Of course Dai. Sadly missed.

I saw her at the "Rock Against Racism" gigs in 1978, along with The Clash & Tom Robinson.
