I'm having Indian accent, since english is not my first language so my accent is very Indian. I wish i could improve my enlgish first beofore thinking about accent.

I've been told on the phone I sound like a little child. Nice. I don't like my voice when I'm talking. It's too quiet and people never understand me.

When I'm singing it's different. Everyone says my voice sounds so different when I'm singing.

I don't know about the accent.

I'm not that good in picking up English accents unfortunately...

When I stayed Downunder for half a year - in the end in New Zealand some people thought I was from Australia - took me many months to pick up that accent... But most of the time people knew that I was from Holland by hearing me talk (or they guessed all wrong and thought I was from Germany). I just hate the Dutch / English accent, sounds terrible

I wish I could get rid of that!

Does Goose sound like Robbie Williams?

Does Mousebounce/Kathleen sound like one of the Soprano women !!??

I imagine Jess to have a low french accent, then again maybe its high pitched!

UKJovi, could have a Mitchell brothers Luton accent?

So what do you sound like?

My voice is quite low toned, Ive been told Ive got a sexy voice and a nice tinkling laugh, whatever that means ! Mainly have an english accent, a mixture a little from up north(Ive never noticed it though), and other down south where I used to live . I do have a slight american twang left , cant say certains words in an english accent like world or squirrel. I always say pants instead of trouser, so stuff like this gives my US background away. I havent noticed that I sound like anyone famous.

Dawn

Where in the US Dawn??

As for me, I don't sound anything like the Soprano's either. Some people say I sound like I am from California (although I never been there), others hear a bit of NY and my students this year asked me if I was English.

I think the NY only comes out when I am angry.

A lot of people think that NJ accent sounds very English, I can see why except for the Italian Jersians they are much more stronger sounding, like the mafia

My dad is from Indiana , but he also sounds a soft texan to me, we lived in TX for 2 yrs (which I hated) and Tenn for a year(which I liked).

I need to be in UK for another 3 yrs then will think about heading to the US east coast. NJ/NY Maine ??????? Undecided yet.

Dawn.

. I don't know about Mouse but I don't sound like one of the Soprano women - my Mother does though lol. She has a heavy New York/ New Jersey accent. I went to UC Berkeley and lived in San Francisco and Marin County for about 10 years and lost a lot of my Jersey accent. Some came back when I moved back home but it's not heavy. I do have a loud voice though - I work in construction and yell all day - it HAS to be loud to be heard over the equipment working. I also sing and play keyboards with my son's band when I can so a loud voice helps. Unlike Becky - my voice is not soft and feminine at all.

Kathleen

What sort of music do you sing in your sons band ? Wish we could hear some.

Being that I have lived in South Georiga all of my life, I really don't have a thick southern accent. But I do have a bit of a southern twang.

As far as my voice, I think I sound like Minnie Mouse but my friends say I'm not that bad. In fact some men say I sound sexy. I just can't hear it. I guess it's mostly true, we don't like to hear ourselves talk. I cringe when I hear my voice.

I can tend to be loud, but that comes from working around large and loud machines when I worked at the press shop. You had to be loud to be heard there.

And like Becky, I can not sing at all. In fact when I do sing, my cats run and hide.
