Your Accent Is So Annoying!

[Disco Stick]

Joking. You probably have a beautiful voice!

Seriously, I am mondo fascinated with how people from other countries sound...especially European accents! As my friends now...my sad impersonations of a British accent is well...embarrassing...

Myself, I don't know how you would describe me. I'm weird. I was born in the south, but I've moved around so much that any hint of a southern twang is literally gone. I mean, it comes back in full force at times...but that's usually when I'm mad or excited...otherwise, I sound lame.

There are some American accents that make me want to CLAW MY EARS OUT. Whenever one syllable becomes two drawn out ones, you're not speaking properly! 'hand' should not be 'haaay-aaaand', etc etc. Not you personally though, just in general.

I don't have a specific accent. I'm British and from the midlands, but I HATE my local accent and I'm very cautious about speaking properly. Because I travel so much and have friends all over the world, I know how important it is to speak clearly and enunciate properly - so even my old school friends start talking to me and suddenly point out that I have 'a different accent' now.

My favourite accents - Australian, and some European. I could listen to certain European accents all day every day - e.g. Russian, Czech, Polish accents on English.

I love me a good British and/or Australian accent.;)

I, however, have somewhat of a Brooklyn/New York accent. Just a hint of it since I lived there till I was 8.

I have a Scottish accent which I don't think is that strong but coming from Glasgow I'm told that it is pretty strong and that I speak really fast. I've made some LJ voice posts in the past so I'll have a look to see if I can find any that I've made on a public setting. But my accent is very similar to John Barrowman's accent when he speaks in his normal Scottish accent rather than the Canadian one.

[Hollow Echo]

I was told that my English sounds well... American. :D I think that can mostly be blamed on the fact that I watched a lot of American TV shows while I learned to speak, so yeah, that and my relatives from the USA probably made me sound the way I do.

I looooove British accents, they're pretty... there aren't many accents where I could say I don't like them. I generally love listening to people talk in English. *nods*

Accents I have issues understanding are... Scottish, LMAO I had a pilot from Scotland once on the plane and I had no freaking clue what he was saying. Welsh and a few English ones, but they usually take some training and I'm good. *nods*

Oh and I'm German... people from Switzerland speak German, but it's like a completely new language to me :| I don't understand them at all.

[Vienna]

I have a scottish accent as well, but it's got more fifish tones considering thats where I live. I couldn't tell you what it sounded like but I know it's different from other accents.

Anyway, Irish and Austrailian accents drive me wild!!! I can't think of any other accents that I like particularly or annoy me, but I know I love them.

[My Idiosyncrasies]

Apparently my Jamaican accent only comes out when I'm highly pissed off or when I'm talking fast.

Other country accents are seriously a major plusplusplus. Very sexy, like Irish or British. Plus, I love my Jamaican brothas accents. After living in the US and going back, can't help but wanna melt when you hear its sexiness.

And I like tryna master accents. Got Jamaican down of course and British. Still needa perfect my Irish and Afrian :D

<<is all methinks>>

[Psycho Killer]

I don't really know how to describe the way I speak, because I was born in Russia sometimes I can have this really thick Russian accent especially if I'm around my family and some of them are very Russian sounding, but most of the time I kind of just sound like a Californian. At least I think so, haha maybe I don't.

I love Russian [duh] accents, Irish, Kiwi, and Scottish accents.

[Vaudevillian]

I'm Australian and don't feel like I have an accent lol

My favourites are Irish, Scottish and British.

[Fiery Skies]

I'm Indian and I have a slight twang here and there. But it's mostly Americanized because of my large group of American friends.

I love the Australian, Irish and Scottish accents. I'm not so big on the British, maybe because I hear it all the time...

[Rubber Ducky]

I'm Australian and don't feel like I have an accent lol
Haha, I know what you mean! I think our accent is so boring, gah. Some people seem to think all Australians speak like Steve Irwin :chairshot:. No! He's all bogan-ish and slang-like.

Meh, I don't particularly like the aussie accent. I think it's so boring and bland. What I don't understand is why it's so hard for foreigners to impersonate the accent. I could easily pull off and American or English accent, but they can't do ours lol. It's weird.


Anywho, my favourite accents are definitely French, Canadian and English ^_^

[Russian Roulette]

I am a mix of everything. I grew up in New York, so I guess I have that New York accent, but sometimes when I'm not paying attention and one of my friends points it out, I guess my irish side of me, comes out and I guess I get the irish accent or even sometimes german, haha. Dude, I'm a mutt of all mutts, I'm irish, scottish, welsh, english, french-candian, german, italian, and 1/16 native american. And I know there is more, I'm just not remembering them off the bat.

My favorite accents are irish, scottish, and french. *drools* xP

[Blondie]

Well, I'm American so I obviously have an "American" accent, though I've lately started to speak like Puerto Ricans and their accent, though I never though I sounded like them. I blame living in NYC but it's true, I pick up accents from whomever I'm talking to. If I'm talking to a British person, I begin speaking like them. It can get quite annoying but I'm usually unconscious of it.

Also, I tend to pick up my heavy "Texan" country accent when I'm pissed, or I can be really really ghetto and get that kind of accent, Southern Ghetto. It's funny, to tell the truth, because I'm so not like that. :D

Favorite accents I have are: Spanish - cause Spanish men are HOT!!!!!!, French and British. I've come to like German for some reason, though I'm unsure as to why and Irish accents are my downfall.

Hee another Australian here - QLD to be exact but yeah it really peeves me when I'm talking to someone on the net and there all like "Ohh do you sound like Steve Irwin?!" I'm like noooooo... even though I was all for the work he did for wildlife I hated the stereotype he created about Australians !@

It might be because were used to our accents ? But I feel the same to me our supposed accents are well boring. I LOVE Irish accents I've told my mother about a billion times I'm going over there when I have money *dies laughing at the thought of me having money*

I never really understood how people can say 'I don't feel like I have an accent/I don't have an accent'. I know your accent is the one you hear the most often, but you mst not hear a lot of outside accents if you can't hear the accent of your own voice. I can hear mine.

I agree, because everyone has an accent. Besides not everyone sounds the same, some people have deeper voices or raspy voices, so that will effect how their accent sounds too.

[Etch-a-Sketch]

Well, I'm from Canada, so I suppose I have a 'Canadian' accent, but I mean, it's not like I sound like I'm from the Prairies or anything (no offense to anyone from there. I'm just trying to give a comparison). I have more of a French accent despite being an Anglophone, and I was raised in a school that was 90% Italian, so, sometimes I have an Italian accent, despite me not being Italian. It comes out mostly at the end of my sentences, really. Although I do sound very French when I'm pissed (ignore the fact that I totally speak French when I'm pissed).

[Signs]

I know for a fact I have an accent that foreigners would recognize. I'm from South California. We talk slow and stupid. :-p But seriously, I love Australian/British accents.
