I pronounce mines scottish/american like b-all and c-ool"

Another thing though, is that I'm half-welsh (half-scottish) so I occasionally put welsh twist on things. Sometimes my friends will turn and be like "you sounded welsh there for a moment". Mostly my "that's". Instead of saying "bye" or "cheerio" I'll say "ta-da" and my "hi" is "what'soccurin'?"

So I guess it's english-y scottish-y welsh?? People ask what my accent is and I just kinda stare and shrug...

English..? Yum :3

English to the core.

I couldn't be bothered finding something to record just voice so i just used sony vegas and recorded from there and put it straight up. the video is blank.

I have a mongrel accent if that makes sense. Not meaning it's unsophisticated, but it's like a mashup. My first language was Russian because my parents on both sides were born in Russia, but since I live in Australia I soon forgot most things in Russian. So now sometimes when I speak I might pronounce things oddly or with strange emphasis due to Russian/Germanic language traits like rolled "R"s being fairly ingrained into my speaking habits.

Alright, here's mine...
Most people are just typing their accents now, it seems like. :/ I love accents. And I normally don't speak this fast, just nerves, I hate reading out loud. And when I'm relaxed I have more twang, to me there isn't much of that here.

Accent - YouTube

That part at the end was me saying "Mare, mayor, mirror" because everyone makes fun of me and says these all sound exactly the same

In general, I say 'I' more like a light 'Ah', I say 'for' like 'fer', my 't's sound like 'd's (but don't everyones?), I slur my words together, I say y'all and ain't, and I drop the g in '-ing', I do not say "fixin to", though my dad in law does. This passage does not showcase any of those things

So "I was a bit nervous posting my accent" would be more like "Ah wazzabid nervous 'boud postin' mah accent." Although not nearly so heavy.

Hey, why'd this thread die?

Accent. It's not very good.

People have often commented on my accent as being "accentless".
Although that's technically impossible, I'm still really happy about this, because I find the average dutch-english absolutely disgusting.
(Here's an example of a dutch accent:
)
A lot of dutch people have issues with pronouncing TH. Next time you meet a dutch person ask them to say 33 and try not to laugh at them.

And then there's my accent:

I tend to ramble a lot and I think my voice is still a tad high-pitched, but I'm working on that.

I looove hearing other people's accents! So many links are dead, though.
I don't particularly like my voice, but if it will encourage more people to post (or re-post) their amazing foreign accents here, then this will totally be worth it!
So, here we have it - my Australian accent:

Dreamer's Accent

Oh, and if I was actually speaking Australian, I would say kilometres, not miles.

Here is mine

PercyLucid's Accent

Eeeeee Percy, I have always loved your accent! I will have to listen to your guided meditation again soon.

I never knew about the Dream Views Favorites section until very recently. Definitely a good idea. My computer doesn't have a mic, nor do the speakers work at all, which is lame, I know. I don't think I have an accent, but a good number of people think I have a Canadian accent. I grew up in a small town, 30 miles from Canada, and even my english professor (who is Canadian) was completely convinced that I was Canadian as well. I couldn't get her to believe I wasn't.

In case you've never heard a Canadian accent, it's basically like a standard American movie accent, but with the speaker's face so cold, that their lips don't move freely. I know this because when I'm out in the cold that long, I sound extra Canadian. On a related note, many Canadian town names are easy for me to say when my face is frozen, whereas most other words are difficult. I spend too much time outside in the cold...

Any non-Australian accent is an accent to me.

I just recorded mine on my phone - do you have any kind of voice recorder app?

My phone is quite the dinosaur, and doesn't have much for voice recording. I'm thinking maybe there's a way to set up a google voice account, and leave myself a message, then upload it from there. I just wouldn't be able to test it on my computer without a sound card.

Australian accents are the best of all the accents I've heard. Plus, they're easy for me to understand The last time I went to England, I had to keep asking people to repeat themselves. I felt terrible that I couldn't understand them the first time, but I don't think I offended anyone. After a few days, I got dialed into it, and could understand people better.
