I'm told I sound American in England, and English in America You sound like some confusing English-American!! I seriously had trouble telling. I was like, "Must be American" then like, "Wait, no! English..." then back to American then English blah blah blah you get the jist. I love it, though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedNeko Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I did the thing! Turns out my mic wasn't broken; I forgot it doesn't work when my headphones are plugged in Here's the link: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1LDXweFUrrG I missed a bit http://vocaroo.com/i/s0tOjbNmdYI5 I'm actually dyspraxic and a bit dyslexic so reading all that aloud to you guys should have been really difficult, but it came out quite well I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it's alternating between English and American sometimes. One second you sound completely American, and the next you pronounce stuff like you are English. It's really cool!

I've never had anyone say I sound American before, as I said in the recording my accent is considered to be very English. Maybe what you're picking up is a slight slip into Northern English? My family come from further north and I've been living in the north for uni. Or maybe not, I would have no idea Oh, I was talking about Danny But your accent sounds really cool, too! I love English accents in general. IDK why, probably just because I never really hear them in real life. I always just hear American accents or accents from my friends' parents since they are non-native English speakers. 3 minutes ago, RedNeko said: [Moment of stupidity, please ignore me] Haha that's an easy mistake in a forum like this.

Yeah, I realised, that's why I edited out my post I like listening to non-native English speakers speak English because they speak it in their own way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your name (optional) and username. Where you’re from. Pronounce the following words: Aunt, Roof, Route, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Pajamas, Caught, Naturally, Aluminium, GIF, Tumblr, Crackerjack, Doorknob, Envelope, Arocalypse, AVEN, aromantic (curious as to how people pronounce these last 3). What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house? What is a bubbly carbonated drink called? What do you call gym shoes? What do you call your grandparents? What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket? What is the thing you change the TV channel with? Choose a book and read a passage from it. Do you think you have an accent? Do you know anyone on Arocalypse (or AVEN since this is fairly new) in real life? End audio post by saying any THREE words you want. Yay, quoting myself! I thought since I'm not posting my actual accent, I would just answer the questions that don't require speaking. 1. My username is… ummm… just look above my profile picture and you'll see it. 2. I'm from the North-east U.S. 3. When you throw toilet paper on a house, it's called TP-ing it. 4. A bubbly carbonated drink is soda. 5. Gym shoes are called sneakers. 6. My grandparents are called Grandma and Grandpa, although I called one of them "Grandma (first name)" to differentiate between my grandmothers. However, now I just have one grandparent, so that's not necessary. 7. The thing you use to carry groceries at a supermarket is called a shopping cart. 8. You change the TV channel with a remote (my grandfather used to call it a "clicker" but no one else I know never did). 9. I have an accent. You have an accent. Everyone has an accent. 10. I don't know anyone on here from real life. Fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abyss Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Accent challenge go! Turn your volume down before listening, it gets a little loud. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1cNISgK5JYf The passage I read is from 'Annihilation' by Jeff Vandermeer, a book I cannot recommend highly enough if anyone wants to give it a go.
