I lost it as soon as I realised how shit it was goingā€¦began the recording in the honest belief I could pull it off.

Thatā€™s the end of my acting career

I was making a real effort to be loud and clear there, so it was more obvious than if I were talking in the pub, I think.
I remember when my younger niece came back from her first day at nursery. In a day, sheā€™d gone from sounding fairly neutral to the full Julie Waltersā€¦

Haha, thanks so much Bam! Yours sounds pretty good too!

I think mineā€™s just novel because a lot of you will never have heard a South Tipperary/Cork accent before maybe?

#121

you just sound like the most friendly inoffensive person ever. You had me at ā€œhaircutā€!

Generic Southern accent with occasional Scottish flashes/phrases, people generally find my voice hard to pin down but have had from Hebrides to Australian thrown at me in the past. My voice is ok, Iā€™m mostly just glad I donā€™t have a Norfolk accent

What is quite funny though is how I donā€™t really fit in anywhere given I indentify as more Scottish than English due to my motherā€™s side of the family and living here, lead to some funny defensive conversations in London of YOURE NOT SCOTTISH, YOU DONT SOUND IT or just being spotted a mile off up here because the weegie accent is so strong/ingrained

Oh theyā€™ll do that! Theyā€™re lethal in this city for the drink. They also think people from my hometown are worse so I donā€™t know where that leaves me!

Tom Hardy. Heā€™s good at accents.

That doesnā€™t include his excellent work in Taboo.

I sound like Michael Owen. So no, I donā€™t like my accent.

Thanks! X

So as much as Iā€™m happy this thread has legs, it:

  1. is full of people being far too fucking nice, and

  2. (in the spirit of number one) is full of Scottish & Irish people hamming up their lovely accents

More contentious stuff about who has the stupidest accents please.
