Really, what do people think is the real voice, or accent. There is the Canadian, American, British, Australian, Chinese, Indian, ect.
What is the 'normal' one?

How can you say you don't have an accent? Everyone has one, you hear yourself family, friends speak it everyday you can't tell the difference.
No idea what the Leicester accent is like, but when I wen't to Cornwall last year this family from Leeds thought we were Geordies.
not all americans.Quote:

Canadian and American are almost the same, i agree ;)Quote:

like everythings pronounced correctly and such.
except if your from newfoundland but thats another story :]
Everyone has an accent.
Its like asking 'Whats the normal fingerprint?'. You dont think you have an accent because its all you've ever heard. Americans and Canadians do pronounce things funny, you just dont notice it.
The american one and canadian one are mostly the same, and I guess everyone thinks that they're accent is normal.
Same for me....Quote:

There is no "normal" accent. If you say, for example, American/Canadian accents are "normal", then it's like you're saying all other accents are "weird" and, well, "abnormal". That isn't fair, is it. ;)
Anyway, I have a malay accent only if I speak malay. You wouldn't know what it sounds like anyway. x_x
i would say briish, coz i am, but there are many different british accents, so i am lincolnshire and ithink brummies have a weird accent
Mmm, yeah. people in the south think the north have a more 'common' accent with all that brummy talk and it does sound weird lol.
But to them, we sound 'weird' because of the way we don't speak like them.
You have an accent I remember a voice clip on msn once but your use to it so you don't know , I would'nt say i have one i just speak eamonn tbhQuote:
