I have some kind of halfass american-irish bland TV accent when I speak english. I'm trying to change it to some sort of gothenburgian-scottish-welsh thing though, with trilled Rs and a nice melody, so that it has more character.





You better not take the ability to make your english sound how ever you want! Americans generally must always sound American.

What sucks is,

An english person can try to sound American when they speak english.
Its cool
An German can try to have American English, its cool.
An Australian can tone his accent down to an American accent, its cool.

HOWEVER
There is nothing more pretentious than an American who changes his english accent to sound more british or Australian.

I wouldn't say I prefer any particular accent, but if I could learn to speak with an accent, I'd go for posh English, like Joanna Lumley or Kate Bush. It's more about the tone of someone's voice that really attracts me, though. Usually I go for guys with more of a baritone voice. Maybe it's because my voice is naturally deeper, so it puts me off a bit if I hear a guy with a voice higher than mine. Having a foreign accent is a definite bonus, no doubt about that.

I originally wanted Violette, but that was already being used, so I just shortened it.
It could also represent the instrument. Or the Gesaffelstein track.

I have a wicked boston accent when I am drunk or otherwise relaxed.  I kinda lost it with age as I moved out of the city when I was young, people made fun of me for it so I learned to talk neutral I guess, but it is still there.  I watched some old home movies of me a while back and I was totally stunned how strong it was growing up.

I don't find the local accent particularly endearing.  I like French accents myself.  Makes me weak in the knees.

I have a solid New England accent, complete with some remains of New England dialect.

Austrailian and scottish accents can sound similar to the untrained ear.

I've been living in Berlin so long,
all english accents just start blending together
because I'm getting used to them
Sometimes I'll think an Aussie (who has a tame accent) is American
until I listen to them for a while

I have met  some irish people once in Amsterdam
with an accent so gnarly,
I had to hope my responses were the correct ones
because I had to fake understanding them.

It's a set of pronunciations and intonations that's recognizably American. Australia or England or whatever have their own "neutral" accents that sound to them like no accent at all. To you they would sound like Australian or English accents. It's all a matter of perspective.




I disagree. I think that English didn't truly have a neutral "accent" until such was developed in America.

Yes, it would sound English to me because it is and English accent.



Look up the definition of the word accent and get back to me. The fact that a way of speaking sounds neutral to your ears does not mean that it's not an accent.

You can speak English and have a Texan accent or Californian accent or New York accent. I was pretty sure that would be common knowledge in America.

...but I'm not american or a native english speaker. I don't have a natural accent. So it wouldn't be pretentious, right?

I like the way the Dutch speak English, and they all do. I've spent about 10 days in Amsterdam over the years and I never encountered a native who couldn't speak English.

I was on a train from Brussels to Oostende Zeebrugge to catch a ferry to the UK, and it became very disconcerting that it seemed like everybody was speaking English, but I couldn't quite understand what they were saying. Apparently, the dialect of Dutch that is spoken along the coast is the closest language to English.

Jesus. I just did two "I was on a train" stories in one thread :facepalm:

Well... One more.

I wasn't on a train once, because I missed it, and 15 minutes later it hit another train head on and killed nearly everyone on the train I missed. True story.

No more train stories.
