Yeah I lived in ohio when I was born, for 3 years.. so yah.. lol. I really can't decribe my accent. it's just.. ummm not round at all.
I dunno, I don't really have an accent I guess. If I do it'd probably be ever so slightly Australian, since I tend to say stuff like "have a good one" and "how's it going?" a lot.
I don't mean to sound completely stupid, but how does saying those things mean you've got an Australian accent? I know loads of people who say those two things all the time.
It's not so much the phrases, but I guess the way you say it? It's quite hard to explain, but for example, I'll find that I tend to pronounce those phrases differently to how I regularly speak, usually without noticing it. That, or I'm just talking out of my ass now.
I'm pretty sure i have an Australian accent, but i wouldn't notice. Oh and to Daniel and Will i dunno if Daniel talks like me but when i say my 'How's It Going' it's more like 'Owzit Goin', I don't hear that in many American accents.
You can say I have an Australian accent, but there is a growing difference between states as done by studies out there. It's not a definitive accent though, not like anything that's portrayed in the movies though.
Yeah, like that. @LPHDFan: Yeah I get what you're saying, there's no definitive "Australian" accent. But it's probably closer to being one than a definitive American accent, for instance.
Yeah you're right, people who live in Ohio would have a different accent to people who live in Arizona and it would probably be more noticable than someone living in Sydney to someone living in Melbourne. When I said "It's not a definitive accent though, not like anything that's portrayed in the movies though." I was actually talking about my accent sorry and didn't make it clear.
I'm sorry but there just isn't anything known as "not having an accent". I just don't know what mine is .
Some Newfoundlanders are known to have thick accents which are like a combination of Irish, Scottish, and absolute gibberish, spewed out at 100x speed. I can talk fast from time to time, but you'll find many people outside of the capital (where I live) saying things like "whaddayat" (what's up), "init" (isn't it?), "luh" (look) and "b'y" (sounds like "buy", means buddy). It's pretty funny to decipher. Actually, try and make sense of this: [youtube]RhZ7b7db1Jw[/youtube] Oh, and I don't speak like this. Hahaha.
I'm from Michigan, yet I tend to have a British accent for some words, and also a southern accent for others. My friends laugh at me for it all the time.
I definitely have an accent. I pronounce words differently than most people, and sometimes get a deep british tone to my voice when talking to customers professionally on the phone. Seeing as I was born in America and have no "English" background, the latter makes no sense.
