How do you talk?

[Lagom 204]

When I speak with strangers and my teachers I tend to have a rather timid and low voice, but when I'm with people I feel comfortable with I have an (very) loud voice and tend to drag attention.. Also my voice is quite deep and I personally think I sound similar to a guy who just went right into puberty.

 

When it's English I tend to have problems with pronouncing and I have trouble with speaking fluently. Else then that I'm fine.

Jeez. Can no one stay on topic? 22 votes? Really?

[CornBreadGang 514]

I have two, and I'll use one or the other depending who I'm with.

Sometimes I'll use an Indiana accent, where nearly all T's are dulled down to a D.

Other times, I use my British accent.

It all depends who I'm with.

[Magpie 623]

American accent, specifically northeastern, or whatever you'd call Michigan. Not that I hear it, because it's normal to me.

[Frith is Magick 1,471]

I have a Canadian accent, although my Mandarin has a Japanese accent. I can do a pretty good Scottish accent, despite never actually knowing anybody with the accent (people who have lived in Scotland think I'm from Edinburgh). Do I stay on topic? Sometimes, not always.

[Sir.Flutter Hooves 2,953]

How do I talk? With my mouth.

[Finish Line 1]

I have an Northwestern accent. Does that count? Apparently, a lot of people I've worked with say I have a strange accent when compared to the people they grew up with. It's all subjective. I don't think I have an accent, while the person from [enter region] thinks I've got one. 

[The Leafeon Pinkeh 3,603]

I have a southern accent, being from Mississippi which is like really south xD
As for a speech impediment, I've never been able to say double o's correctly. Like "cool" or "pool" XD it comes out "cull" and "pull" Don't know if that counts for anything though. 
And I can't stay on topic but I try! I've even gotten warning points on here a couple times for it :c Is that getting off topic? I think so. But yeah I have a lot of trouble trying to talk about one thing for any length of time before I switch to something else. I tend to stop talking midconversation sometimes because I'll get distracted by something moving in the background like a tree or something. :I

I have an accent, but I have no idea what its name is. Like, I come from Brazil, but there are no "Brazilian accents". And since I talk with people all over the world, I think my accent is a mixture of many different ones.

 

I also can't pronounce the THs sometimes. I know how to do it, but the thing is that I do it when I'm not supposed to. For example, in the sentence "A thinking Time-Lord", I may sometimes pronounce it as "A thinking thyme-lord". I'm just not used to switching between those sounds naturally.

 

Another thing with the THs is when they don't sound like THs, like in the word "they". I know it's pronounced "dei", but I still pronounce it as "they", with the actual TH sound.

[ChoroChii 284]

I don't have an accent and I only digress sometimes.

There are times where I can't find my words, due to social anxiety, so I put "Yes, other" but I wouldn't really consider it a speech impediment.  

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Everybody has an accent no matter where you're from. I'm from NorCal and in the community college I go to, there are people that say "hella" and "hecka". I don't say those words very often though. I also don't think I pronounce words exactly the same way others do. At the most, I sound like a Californian with a touch of Scottish (my dad's from Scotland) luckily, I have no Scottish slang while my dad does and when I'm in not in a mood, I easily get annoyed at it. I say "new" differently than others and words like "spoon" and "stool" have different vowel sounds and so does "so" and "sold". Also, I don't pronounce the t in words that end with a t. There are other features of my speech. Since I have Aspergers, I sometimes struggle to stay on topic.

[Blue Moon 6,341]

I live in upper North Carolina, so whatever accent that exists there would be mine. I personally don't think I have an accent, but there are people in my area with a bit of a southern accent, so there's that. I don't sound southern though.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

I have an american accent but I use a lot of southern words like "ain't" and "y'all" and I've probably used a double negative before without realizing and I don't usually put "g" at the end of my ing except when I'm writing of course. "Somethin'"

and I use words like "gunna" instead of "going to"

I remember being called a "Redneck" even though I don't even slightly resemble one, so I guess I sound more southern than I think I do.

But when I talk I maintain eye contact and I use my hands a lot, and I make sure to be lively while I talk because it makes people more interested.

My accent seem to be a blend of the italian and british accent (mostly because I'm from Italy but I learned to speak english by talking to a few british online friends.)

Besides, I can't pronounce Rs right in my language, but I can just fine in english. Go figure  :okiedokielokie:

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,259]

People say that I have a slight Southern accent whenever I talk depending on some of the words I say.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I don't know what accent I have ???? It's not southern despite me being born in the south. Many and many people ask me where I am from here.

[Omega Centauri 317]

...Everyone has an accent, what are you talking about?

[xX_PinkDragon_Xx 417]

I talkin' like a gangsta an' all dat, yo.

[Omega Centauri 317]

I have a pretty standard American accent, but a tinge of southern comes out every now and then, I live in Kentucky.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302]

I have a couple of Youtube vids wherein I am quite vocal. xD  If you're at all curious as to how I sound (when I've assumed a utilitarian monotone xD ), watch maybe the first ten seconds of this:

 

 

Oh, right: WARNING!  I use bad words some.  Because I am wont to do so when Finnish licorice clings unrelentingly to my teeth.

 

 

[Hashi 323]

Having a british accent is having the best accent ever :3

Plus if I want, I could always ramp it up a notch, and end up sounding as posh as the queen.

[Cirrus. 1,089]

Plain American accent I guess?

 

I'm from southeast Michigan. A lot of newscasters and nationally broadcasted programs have my accent. I've heard/read somewhere that it's the easiest accent of English for ANYONE (especially people new to English) to understand.

 

I've traveled all over the country where there are different accents. I've always found it funny that when we would watch the local news in the hotel, the reporters usually didn't have an accent.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

there is no such thing as not having an accent.... as for mine its Southwestern American..... I also have a fake Russian accent but it sounds pretty spot on

 

as a kid I couldn't say "S's" right it took me tell 8th grade to get it right

 

and I stay on subject for as long as I can if we are talking in person same with online

I usually don't have an accent. I just have a generic American accent except on a handful of words. Usually or's at the ends of words become er's. Other than that my voice is pretty unremarkable.

[There is only Ditzy. 292]

Really, what does it mean exactly to have an "accent"? I mean everyone, regardless of where you come from, has an accent. OP's question is weird and doesn't make any sense whatsoever. As for the famed "British accent", well... there happen to be MULTIPLE dialects and accents, spoken in the United Kingdom and the island of Great Britain. Which one are you referring to?
