do you like your accent?

[wixard]

personally i hate mine

it's boring and theres no emphasis on certain words that other accents have that make talking seem so much more fun

[Munex]

I was raised to speak in Estuary English, which is the most common dialect in the south, around the London area. We don't pronounce T's in words such as "water" and "bottle" (instead saying "war'ah" and "boh'al'") -- it's an extremely common-sounding language.

I hate Estuary English. Past few years I've been starting to speak in a more prestigious accent, similar to the new friends I made at sixth form.

[Jurv]

its okay but it's not v interesting i want to be irish or scottish but not the annoying ones

[sex]

its okay but it's not v interesting i want to be irish or scottish but not the annoying ones

[MKR&*42]

No I hate it I actually sound better trying to speak in a non British accent.

[j0rd]

Actually don't mind mine, gets a lot of attention elsewhere :P

[David]

yes scottish accent is great
irish is great too, as long as its ROI.

[Jurv]

they are all annoying imo
i h8 mine

i think it's northern irish accents i don't like and the realllly strong scottish 1s!

[buttons]

i don't like mine coz i try too hard to not sound scottish i end up sounding American but then that's understandable cause when i hear people from here on tv I cringe so bad

[Eoin247]

I've a thick mullingar accent, so i don't mind it much.

As long as it's not german. Really dont like that.

[Absently]

errr, idk it's not the worst tbh like i'm glad i don't have a proper waterford accent and i was lucky that i lived in the country for a bit of my life so i have a bit of that twang too, it's still not fab or anything. my biggest problem is my voice, argh

[Cerys]

i thought you said my surname then eoin and i was like WOT lmfao but you put r instead ok haha


NO I HATE IT yorkshire accents are actually the worst. I'm constantly trying to forcefully change my accent but no.

fs NEVER GET A YORKSHIRE ACCENT.

[Elegance]

no i hate it! my accent makes it really hard to pronounce g's correctly and it bugs the **** out of me :(.

[Lewis]

hate mine. I wish I had a...

A) russian accent
b) irish
c) american

[Kardan]

Well, whenever I speak with Americans I get told I talk posh, but I'm from Leicester, so clearly they haven't got a clue what they're on about. I don't really have an issue with my accent, I wouldn't even say I have much of an accent really...

[karter]

mine's like a hideous mix of greek and north indian accent so no i hate it

[lemons]

yes


accents are quite varied in london due to the wide diversity

[oli]

I like my accent

I also try to pronounce my words as correct as possible which may help

[Red]

I used to cringe when I heard it back lmao but yea I don't mind it now.

[-Amyy]

Haha no my accent is terrible

[buttons]

also i do actually like taras accent so voting that

---------- Post added 08-09-2013 at 12:58 AM ----------

oh just as a kick in the teeth i used to be really well spoken, received pronunciation and everything but going to a school and making friends with kids from the proper london areas really brought me down in those stakes

[Shar]

It's ok I don't mind it.

[Ekelektra]

I like mine, the accent is fine (except maybe a bit too mumbley) but I don't like the way I talk as I always mix words around.

[Samantha]

I don't mind mine. However, when I talk to people on Skype or sing usually people say I have a noticeable Yorkshire accent, but I can't tell.

[Matt]

Mines half english half australian now. I preferred my english accent when it was proper english sounding (because the aussies loved that i was different l0l). But now i sound half and half and say some words that sound english and then some that sound australian. Kinda annoying.

[Martin]

I hate mine, I don't even know if I have an accent haha, its just squeaky and horrible cries

Calum0812; Dilusionate; and .Cymru.; all have amazing accents :P Like I can really notice them and they're great xD

I want to move to Ireland just to hear Irish people talking all day long!!!!

[RyRy]

I LOVE my accent, spesh at parties because people are like "where are you from?" and when I tell them, they're like well your accent sounds like Australian/Irish/Scottish/Scouse/Brummy (it's usually one of this lot!) so yeah lol love it.

[Jazz]

Don't mind it most of the time, having a posh accent makes me sound smart. Not when I'm out with friends though

[Sho]

I hate mine, I don't even know if I have an accent haha, its just squeaky and horrible cries

Your accent is fab I'd gladly swap :(.


OT: I don't mind my accent, it's not as strong as it used to be so it's not too bad now :P.

[IzzyUhh]

Um i hate some aspects of it but usually its fine, Like on an occasion ill sound kinda posh-ish and i HATE it. But then I Will sound like idk the usual kent accent? idk if they even have an accent

[geo]

taras is the best and i wish i had hers

erm i don't really like mine i think my voice is boring and it changes at times and yeah IDK sucks

[Phil]

I actually don't really mind mine too much, for living in Ireland, it could be a lot worse. Glad I'm from the south and not from the north though because if I had a northern accent I'd probs slit my throat :'(Only time I really mind my accent is when I watch back a recording of a musical I've been in and I'm like "I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT IN FRONT OF LIKE A THOUSAND PEOPLE!!"

[wixard]

no i despise mine

i dont think i sound that bad until i hear recordings of myself back and its like wtf how do people listen to me

You sounded posh to me when I saw you, but Max sounded posh when I first started going out with him. Maybe I get used to it :P.

[lawrawrrr]

Posh?! But I sound like Kat Slater!!

In all seriousness I do speak better when I'm nervous or trying to make a good impression so it may have been that :p


on phone xx

[Becka]

yeah its gr8

[sexpot]

my accent would probably sound horrible to a lot of you

[Aiden]

Nope. I'm very common.

[Liva]

I don't really notice my accent. Though I do say some words oddly because I don't want to spit while talking, hahaha?

[Special]

yeah i like mine people say i sound like a farmer for example 'am just goo-in tuh toilet' lol

[Futz]

no I sometimes get bored of hearing myself talk as i'm speaking so I just slowly stop talking mid sentance
I think it's a combination of my **** voice and accent

I really enjoy talking in different accents though, I wish this was acceptable to just switch between accents during conversation

[Daltron]

don't really like mine at all

[Cub]

I dislike my accent, i wouldn't even say i had one but apparently i do. No-one ever understands scottish accents lol

[Mikey]

I like my accent, makes me feel unique when I meet new people from different places of the world. :)

[-:Undertaker:-]

don't like it.

[Lanyon]

I don't even know what mine is like, it seems so normal but I don't notice anything really. I feel like I have problems now! :(

[Shockwave.2CC]

I didn't even know I had an accent! If I do, it's ok I guess, but I'd prefer to of had an American accent

[Sloths]

I like mine as it was the only thing I had going for me when I moved here although the constant 'oh omg are you british say something for me' and making fun of the way i say 'H' was so bloody annoying especially as I'm from outskirts of birmingham i didnt really have that much of an accent. Since then I've picked up some kiwi parts but unlike some people have mentioned I like it when I drop my T's and things makes me feel bit different. I still have times mostly when I'm sick/tired/annoyed/babbling where I go seriously english although my english friends think I sound kiwi so it's kinda cool to have a mixture accent.

[AgnesIO]

Fine woth my accent, although I wish it was closer to RP than it is.

Sent from my HTC One X

[-Moniquee.]

I do and I don't. I like it compared to a lot of other accents but when you hear an Australian accent in an American movie it sounds weird D:

[Explorator]

Considering I have a lisp, I sound like a right idiot with my Northern British accent aswell.

Hooray to me.

[compositeLegend]

I have an Australian accent, so I don't mind it. I wish I didn't speak too fast sometimes.. I need to slow it down.

[despect]

I think it's quite common for people to not like their accents, i personally don't like mine but like i said its very common.

[CaptiveScope]

I have an Australian accent.
It's not bad and all but I am developing it into a more British accent.

[Eric]

I don't reckon i have an english accent so yeah i like my normal accent

[dana1099]

Sucks to be american.
Everyone hates our accents. :P

[Nick]

I can't even tell if i have an accent really but i guess if i speak to someone that doesn't come from Australia they must be able to pick it up.

[Milarz]

Wish I had an American accent.

[Blinger]

Da *REMOVED* is wrong with you? Aussie pride, mate.

I have an Australian accent.
It's not bad and all but I am developing it into a more British accent.
