Accents

I just finished reading The Help, and all I want to do is talk in a deep southern accent. I absolutely love accents, especially foreign ones. Australian ones get me going. Talk to me in German.. oh damn!
Does anyone else have a thing for accents or another language? Or does this lump me in with the kind of people who love feet?

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.

Southern accents are a turn off for me. Rather obnoxious also... only the super heavy ones though. Not that ill ever judge someone based on the way they talk. It probably just has something to do with my strong biased dislike for anything "country"

I was raised in Texas, so I had a bit of a draw while I was growing up, but since I listen to a lot of audiobooks and music, I've kind of switched over to a more northern accent.
Personally, I think that a southern accent can make a person look either really cute, or really trashy. Usually, it's the latter.

I met this cute Russian girl not long ago who had a light Russian accent (not really a fan of the thick accents). I thought it was pretty hot. Hell, She even spoke Russian for me; Even though I don't find the language particularly sexy, the way she said it and looked at me while she bit her lip made it sexy as hell..
Also there's this older blonde milf who comes into my work every now and then that has this bubbly British accent that always catches my attention. So I guess you could say I'm a fan of accents, depends though; some thick accents from other parts of the world I don't like at all, normally when it makes it harder to understand what they're actually saying.
I wonder if you were to move to Australia or the UK with no accent or American(or Canadian) accent, would they consider that sexy?

I tend to think I have a pretty neutral sounding accent, but I guess it might sound distinctive to some people.

I love accents!
I knew this one girl from the Czech Republic, she had a cool accent!
Then I knew this girl with a boston accent...
Everytime she talked I pretty much came in my pants...
I ended up getting drunk with her one night and telling her how hot I thought her accent was... then she started saying a bunch of stuff that really brings out boston accents like "parking cars in harvard yard" and stuff...
Then I pretty much admitted that I was in love with her and shit...
And it only got worse from there...
Later I admitted to being a virgin, and to smoking crack and other stuff I don't care to repeat...

I really liked her too, and she was hot and had a hot accent, and I actually had a shot before I started getting really stupid, I wish I could handle my alcohol better...
I haven't spoke to her since that night...

I think I'm pretty good at distinguishing slight differences in accents. There's quite a variety of accents in the mid Atlantic, from the tidewater of Virginia, to the Washington DC accent, to Baltimore, Philly, Brooklyn, Connecticut. All somewhat distinct.
I have a friend who grew up not 20 miles from where I grew up, and his accent is quite different than what I have.
Check out this accent, from an island in the middle of the Chesapeake bay.

I agree. There are certain accents that, no matter how intelligent the speaker, makes them sound stupid:
I had a friend who grew up in southern Virginia (suthun vagenah) who went to elocution school to, as he said himself "have the dumb schooled out of him"

Americans tell me I speak English with a German accent. Germans/Austrians tell me I speak German with an American accent. Back home people are seriously confused about what accent I have, they definitely know something's up, but can't make up their mind about where from 
I love German/Austrian girls, I love their accent when speaking English, also I love girls from the Netherlands and their accent. It's more subtle than German but still clearly there. Oh and Scandinavian women

I believe that an American accent (not a Southern or Texas one or whatever) is simply a lack of an accent. It's a pronunciation of all the words in the English language with as few aberrations as possible. It's like a sterilized version of the English language.

Most countries have some form of neutral accent, that's what they look for in national newscasters and shit like that. It's "neutral" in that it's missing cues that suggest specific regional accents, but it's still an accent.

It's an attempt to line one's speech up to the letters as accurately as possible. But I don't know how you justify calling it an accent.

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'm amused when people from places with silly accents, and who have worked very hard to stifle said accent either:
- Get on the phone with someone with said silly accent
- Get drunk or high
- Get angry or emotional
- Get back from a trip to place with silly accent
My mother has completely lost her Boston accent, until she gets on the phone with someone in Boston. then it's "how ah yuh doing, Bawb. Yah just gawt back from the mahket?"

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.

Always hated australian accents and being australian i felt conflicted, so from a young age i tried to reject my accent. People sometimes say i sound british or something. It's just certain words i subconsciously pronounce differently to other australians. But i guess i can't hide my Australian-ness forever

Unrelated? Most languages are related... A lot(most?) of languages are derivitave of other older languages...
May be, but see you have Germanic languages like English and German, and then you have those that come from Latin (Spanish, Italian), and then the Slavic ones like Russian Bulgarian etc. They are pretty unrelated from that point of view. Grammar and a bunch of things are different among these different types.

Former soviet satellite? If your language is unrelated to Germanic, Romance or Slavic... Then, it would be Estonia or Hungary.

I was on a train once from Budapest to Belgrade. Sitting across from me and my friend were two very scantly dressed women, and a very very fat man. He began to tell us that he had been in Kiev, and hired the two ladies to work in his Belgrade strip club. He then told us that Croatians cut the fingers off of Serbian children and make necklaces from them. Then he fell asleep, and started snoring like I've never heard someone snore. Me and my friend looked at the two Ukrainian girls and we all started laughing hysterically at this fat, pathetic loser.
I have no idea why that story popped into my head, but there it is.

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'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.

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.

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.

I was waiting for a train once in Agen, France. I had missed the one I had a ticket for, because my connecting train to Agen was canceled and replaced by a slow country bus. But I had bought another ticket for the TGV, and if that one was on time I might just make it to Toulouse in time for my flight. So I stood there on the platform waiting, stressed out of my ribcage, the minutes on the timetable ticking down. Then, instead of the train arriving on time, the timetable display called me a mentally handicapped person. THE NERVE!

I was not impressed with the TGV. I thought it should have gone faster. The French do good art, and you can get a small amount of expensive food, but engineers they ain't.

On behalf of my countrymen: thanks for the compliment. Although I do acknowledge that we tend to speak English with a rather funny accent, like Apolly found out.
Speaking of accents, I was hitting the bars in my town one night with a friend. We bumped into two ladies; one Australian (easy to identify by her accent), the other..well, kind of hard to guess where she was from. Honestly, we couldn't guess it, but she turned out to be Ukrainian. Anyway, my friend and me decided that it would be safe to communicate in Dutch between the two of us, as the girls obviously wouldn't understand. Fast forward a couple of hours and the Russian girl asks me to say something to her in Dutch. She responded in Dutch, and damn nearly without any noticeable accent...turns out she was a linguist with 4 years of studying Dutch under her belt. Gorgeous lady, too.

Ah, that would be too much to say, really. I mean, with a population of 67 million, they managed to have kept a technologically very advanced position in several challenging industries, including aircraft (military and civilian), nuclear (idem), railway transportation, construction, automotive and many others. They're on par with Japan or even ahead of them in many areas. And that for a population half the size and with far shorter working hours. It's quire remarkable, if you think about it.

They're right next to Germany though, so you can see how their engineering ends up overshadowed.

I wasn't really serious. It's the stereotype.
Last time I was in Amsterdam, I went with a friend of mine for a long weekend. We were walking down the street, and he was telling me about this Dutch guy he had a fling with in Canada a few years earlier. While he is telling me this, he SEES this guy on the street in front of us. Completely random. I couldn't believe it. The guy ends up giving us a tour of all the good clubs and places to go.

No I don't sound like that. Maybe when I'm a little nervous or looking for what to say, my french accent becomes stronger, but other than that, my english is perfect.
As for the Rob Ford vid, I don't hear an accent at all. THerefore he clearly must have one lol.

Of course it is, and we kept it at a minimum. Didn't actually say anything harmful to each other about the girls either. More along the lines of "are we going to walk to the railway station to find a taxi?" "Nah, I think there's usually some just around the corner." You know, practical things.

That is a coincidence indeed! Reminds me; I was walking in some other city with a girl the other day and she waves at a person waiting to cross the street, like us. So I asked her if she knew the girl. "Yeah," she says, "but not really; I was waiting for the bus some time ago and she was there too, being chased by a wasp." Small coincidences. They're fun.

I took the subway to Union station an hour later, and when I got into the station there were TV trucks all over the place. I had no idea what was going on. When I got home, my roommate had the news on, and he said "oh, did you hear about that accident?" I said no, and then I listened for the details and yelled "you idiot, that's the train I usually take home!"

In terms of accents that really get me going, for girls: certain English ones, I suppose Australian as well, German is mad sexy but sometimes annoying, idk. I know I'm missing something here for sure. Girls with real heavy New York accents =
In terms of accents that don't get me in a sexually deviant mood, northern great plains like the Dakotas and shit are funny and I love them. Like the ones in Fargo, if that's how they actually talk. and Southern Gentlemen with real, real heavy southern accents are great. I love that shit.
edit - WTF RUSSIAN of course, knew I was missing something.

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.
and this one time, at band camp..
so glad you didn't get on that train though! I bet you were a little shaken up after hearing about that
I took the subway to Union station an hour later, and when I got into the station there were TV trucks all over the place. I had no idea what was going on. When I got home, my roommate had the news on, and he said "oh, did you hear about that accident?" I said no, and then I listened for the details and yelled "you idiot, that's the train I usually take home!"
I bet that's kinda how he felt once he let that sink in.
