thought this could be interesting for alll us english speakers here - this is how it works:

1. go to the speech accent archive
2. search for accents recorded by people in your area.
3. listen to them.
4. pick the one that's closest to your accent and post a link to it.
5. we'll listen and make fun of it.

James, you sound more, er, manly than I expected.

Haha, I had the same thought

I didn't think Carole sounded very french, but I don't know what her accent would be if not french. I was surprised, but I was by everyone else's too, maybe because I haven't really imagined your voices at all?

It's weird, if I speak english, I seem to cut the deep tones that I have when I speak german.

and here I go in my native language

I'm sorry, but that just sounds like a made up language. Sorry, sorry
And so fast compared to the english one

Your english one sounds so clear and accentless in a way. Made me think of english class, listening exercises or something

None of these things are negative, sorry if it sounds that way

I dunno, weird? That's just the thought I had. I guess I haven't heard it much before, just a few words.
It's cool though

Could you maybe type it out? Would be interesting to see it written too

To type it out is very difficult as it is the dialect of my hometown and there are no rules for writing .. there are a lot of sounds that I wouldn't know how to write

I thought carole would be a little lighter, but her voice is really nice, James really surprised me, he sounds like he should read professionally to me, and I imagined Daniel to be a little rougher/scruffier/beard like

Maybe it's the mike .. or the fact that I haven't been speaking much the last week (and not a word of german). I am surprised about the tonality of my voice as well.

Okay, I want to hear samples! Upload them!

I was sort of relieved because I thought I had not mic device and therefore wouldn't have to post one, but then I remembered my mp3 player has a recorder

No I don't. We had a family one once, but no one used it really
I'm a technophobic idiot (that's actually a quote)

Is everyone recording using a mic? I can't fit it all in one recording session...thing on mine.

Yay! Cool that people actually did this thing after all!
I really liked James' voice. <3
Carole and Daniel sound waaay different from what I thought they would...
And Rico's clip was just hilarious.

Perhaps I'll do it later, I don't want my brother to show up being all "=/ huh?"

And Rico's clip was just hilarious.

I totally agree
