Natewlie^ You sound Aussie.I have a northern American accent when speaking english (it's extremely prevalent in western Canada), with some French words or French slang thrown in if I'm speaking Franglais (what the fuck, this is a word). I have a Quebecois accent when speaking French, naturally.That being said, again, I speak mostly French or Franglais (I'm still shitting myself that Franglais is actually a word).
When I listened to one of your songs...you sounded almost like a "dixie chick".
...well at least I thought it was you, in the credits.

Yeah basically...

In which case, I can confirm that, no, I do not have a southern accent. Also singing usually hinders or changes the accent, this goes for everyone.

Sort of, kind of. Although, the voice YOU hear that's coming out of your mouth can sound different from what other people hear too, ever think of that?

hYpNoSI made a facebook vid, and...everyone said I sound british except for one guy who is a fellow aussie (and reckons I sound aussie).
You sound nothing like a brit, totally aussie accent.
I have a Hull accent that differs from the rest of Yorkshire because we pronounce vowels differently and don't pronouce the letter H.
The local accent is quite distinctive and noticeably different from the rest of the East Riding; however it is still categorised among Yorkshire accents. The most notable feature of the accent is the strong I-mutation in words like goat, which is [ˈɡəʊt] in standard English and [ˈɡoËt] across most of Yorkshire, becomes [ˈɡɵËt] ("gert") in and around parts of Hull, although there is variation across areas and generations.
In common with much of England (outside of the far north), another feature is dropping the H from the start of words, for example Hull is more often pronounced 'Ull in the city. The vowel in "Hull" is pronounced the same way as in northern English, however, and not as the very short /ÊŠ/ that exists in Lincolnshire. Though the rhythm of the accent is more like that of northern Lincolnshire than that of the rural East Riding, which is perhaps due to migration from Lincolnshire to the city during its industrial growth. One feature that it does share with the surrounding rural area is that an /aɪ/ sound in the middle of a word often becomes an /É‘Ë/: for example, "five" may sound like "fahve", "time" like "tahme", etc. "Guide" and "guard" for example are therefore homophones.
The vowel sound in words such as burnt, nurse, first is pronounced with an /É›/ sound, as is also heard in Middlesbrough and in areas of Liverpool yet this sound is very uncommon in most of Yorkshire. The word pairs spur/spare and fur/fair illustrate this. The generational and/or geographic variation can be heard in word pairs like pork/poke or cork/coke, or hall/hole, which some people pronounce identically while others make a distinction; anyone called "Paul" (for example) soon becomes aware of this (Paul/pole

Thanks man.
I believe the southern american story more because I had met a few in my years of kfc, if not for him being black I'd say he Should be Col. Sanders XD

My GF is a scouser so im starting to pick it up a bit, shortening my vowels in some words like plaster I used to pronounce plarster.
Well, shes hull(ish) normally but when she's at her parents her voice changes to a full on scouse accent.

ftoc_devonNew Zealander. Kiwi accent. Ask the Aussies how we talk, they'd probably say:"I'm beached bro, beached as. Can I have a chup? I only eat planktun."
This right here. Apparently the most attractive accent in the world.
Fun fact: venom sounds nearly identical to my voice, accent and all despite his being azn.

everyone has an "accent" to someone who isn't from where they are from, just to clarify. if you're an american in england, YOU'RE the one with the accent.that being said, I live in southern ontario, we have no accents there.
