Let's hear your accent! :mrgreen:

Read the following excerpt (from Harry Potter, of course), and post your file/video here.


The Firebolt

This state-of-the art racing broom sports a stream-lined, superfine handle of ash, treated with a diamond-hard polish and hand-numbered with its own registration number.

Each individually selected birch twig in the broomtail has been honed to aerodynamic perfection, giving the Firebolt unsurpassable balance and pinpoint precision.

The Firebolt has an acceleration of 150 miles an hour in ten seconds and incorporates an unbreakable Braking Charm.

Price on request.

Oh, this post has given me such levels of inexpressable joy! And while I was amused of a Kiwi's immitation of an Englishman, I have to wonder... what the crap was that at the end? :P

And the mic came with my computer that my grandpa gave with me. Yeah grandpas :D (I'll record it soon.)

EDIT: Here it is.... For some reason I sound so different than I think I sound... And sometimes when I'm reading I have a tendency to mix together some of the consonants, but that also may be from all the consonants I get from Russian.

Yeah, the english impression was rather junk.

And the end bit was a "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaate!". It's an Aussie thing. I'm kiwi I know, but my Aussie friend does it all the time and it;'s sort of caught on.

Oh, yeah, and so far my favourites: Alex. Alex, you sound so sexy. And Amé - you sound way different than I sort of thought you would - nice though, as far as (mostly icky) American accents go!

Cool thread!

And here I go! I wonder what kind of accent mine is - I've learned English from Cartoon Network mostly so that's why I have sort of an American accent. Are there more types of American accents? I've only heard of the southern accent, heard it mostly in "Gone with the wind".

Hmm...can't seem to figure how to attach my file. I'll get back to this later.

Hmm, weird. Are you both using mp3 files and using the file attachment option in the reply box? Mine wasn't an mp3 so I uploaded through Photobucket. But Photobucket doesn't support mp3's so those people who used that file extension attached them directly through DV, and it worked fine.

Urgh. So, I recorded myself with my phone, but it only records .3g2 videos. Windows and Mac users can play it with QuickTime, but sound might give you troubles, which would be a bit of a problem, since it's kind of the point of this thread.

Anyway, we'll give it a try anyway. If you've got troubles, I'll look for a way to convert it.

EDIT: DATCH!
"You are not allowed to upload a file with that extension".
Blurgh. Just a second while I go find a host for the file...

Alright, Photobucket hosted it.

EDIT: Nevermind the QuickTime junk I posted, photobucket converted it to .flv, so we're golden. Sounds a bit quiet, though.

You mean... You internet characters are actually real people? This is such a trip.

It would take me ten years to figure out how to make a recording on this, so I might have to be just a spectator. I also don't want my celebrity status to clue the tabloids in to my controversial religious and political beliefs. You can't know who I am!

I couldn't disagree more. Celtic music is among of the most stirring and emotion-packed of any I'm familiar with... even when it's in Gaelic and I don't understand a thing. Maybe even ESPECIALLY when it's in Gaelic.

Lum may yer lum reek. Whatever that means... but it is a greeting I was taught by an old Scot.

[/b]I meant our accents aren't classy. And to be perfectly honest, I live way too close to two areas that were condemned for high poverty levels. By no means am I in any danger of being labelled as "in poverty," at all, but the accent of these people rubs off on anybody who goes to school with them for a long time.

Also, yes, you got that a bit wrong. :P

It's, "Lang may yer lum reek wi ithers' cowl." Or, long may your chimney smoke -- with another man's coal. I'm not sure what it means except for "good luck."

God I can't understand how you British/Scottish/Australian guys think your accents are boring/whiney/etc. Well, maybe you don't think so, but I'm telling you right now, they are UNBELIEVABLY SEXY!! I could listen to all of you talk all day long! :smitten:

Thanks, NeAvO---I think you did a great job imitating an American accent----as a matter of fact---it sounds a lot like some of the folks here in South Carolina---had a "southern twang" to it!!! :)

Stick with your British accent though---it's sexy---and plus the the British accent makes a fanastic singing voice-(Beatles, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Oasis, The Who, Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones, Yes)........ well, those are a few of my favorite British bands...........

Thanks, NeAvO---I think you did a great job imitating an American accent----as a matter of fact---it sounds a lot like some of the folks here in South Carolina---had a "southern twang" to it!!! :) [/b]
Oh, I gotta say, I LOVE Carolina accents, they're luverly, 'specially south.

Ha, ha, :D , yeah, Burns, I just had to add that in my best, acquired southern accent!!

You know, even though I have made my life in the south now, and my husband and children are from here, I have not forgotten my northern roots and I am as proud of them as my family is of their southern ones.
They say the sweetest sound to a person is their name, and whenever I hear my name "Debbie" pronounced in a northern accent (esp. in a Pittsburgh area accent), I say "Now, that's the way my name is supposed to be pronounced!!!!"

I'll have to post one. Personally I dont think i have an accent, but I'm sure someone here will think otherwise. I'll have to record something later.

I once wore an Umbro t-shirt out to a bar and these 2 girls came up and asked me if I was from Europe...
So I gave them my best Monty Python and they bought it. It was funny for awhile, but it got tiring keeping it up all night ;)

04-06-2007, 11:46 PM
Well, here's what I sound like. I chose to read an excerpt from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel, Mort, instead of the Harry Potter excerpt, for my own reasons. You should be able to detect a slight Southern accent.

Excerpt I used:

The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Weedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed. -- Terry Pratchett (Mort)

Woot! Terry pratchett! Not uploading cuz of my dialup, but the reason that most people think that their recorded voices sound different is because when you talk normally, a fair bit of sound reaches your ears through the mass of your head, because solids are a better conductor of noise than gases.

So, this is what I sound like when I'm being slightly silly, which happens often. It is a video in format but, you're only getting the audio portion of it. It took me long enough to get that right so, be glad (or not) that you got what you did.

Photobucket takes foreeeeever to upload a simple 44-second video.

Lucidbulbs
07-02-2007, 03:21 PM
I've got to find a thing that doesn't save voice recorders in wav. format... I guess I could use the video camera, but it's going to be facing the computer screen if I do, my room's mess...

And goldney, American's like all accents that aren't their own, that's just how we live... I wish someone with a Filipino accent would post, it's a cute accent too [maybe I could trick a friend into doing it, but has an American-Filipino accent...]

Right, i lent next doors video camera for this, sorry for the hiss in the background but i had to turn the volume up on the video because i was pretty much whispering because its late and i was reading it very fast so i could return the camera. I hope i don't sound too bad in this one. I hate taking videos of myself :(
