wazzap24 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Can't do this on my device. My Brummie accent is so thick, if I auditioned for Peaky Blinders, they'd think I was faking it. The people I work with need subtitles when I talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I **** hate hearing my voice back when it's recorded, I sound completely different to what I think I sound like. Accent wise just a boringly average southern accent, not too posh, not too chavvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I had more of a Brummy accent before I moved abroad, now it's practically non-existent Laugh all you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2018 Like the others, I hate hearing my recorded voice. But it has been heard by VT before, from when I did Brain of Britain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Actually, I did find a microphone and tried that page @StefanAVFC linked but the playback was mainly loads of static and a virtually inaudible me so that microphone's probably knackered.

Chindie Posted February 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2018 I hate hearing my voice recorded as well. It sounds wrong. I've always been told I don't have much of an accent. I went to our London office recently and was speaking with someone who asked where I was from. I replied 'Birmingham'. He then said 'I mean originally'. He refused to believe I was a Brummie.

dAVe80 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I can't get the recorder thing to work, but apparently I've lost a bit of my Brummie twang. I've picked up a lot of North East dialect, but I wouldn't say I've got a North East accent either. By all accounts I have a fairly neutral accent, unless I've spent time around other Brummies, or had a few beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I think the accent challenge is better. It shows how you pronounce certain words. Quote 1. Accent challenge word list: Aunt, Envelope, Route, Theater, Caught, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Coupon, Tumblr, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, GPOY, Lawyer, Water, Mayonnaise, Pajamas, Iron, Naturally, Aluminium, GIF, New Orleans, Crackerjack, Doorknob, Alabama. 2. What is it called when someone throw’s toilet paper on the house? 3. What is that bubbly carbonated drink called? 4. What term do you use for gym shoes? 5. What do you call your grandparents? 6. What do you call the thing with wheels used to carry groceries in the supermarket? 7. What do you use to change channels on TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted February 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2018 I just recorded a piss-take version of my Brummy accent and even that I couldn't listen to. I'm out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the first question, but the rest are okay. Probably because I'm Canadian, but still. For example, we call carbonated drinks pop, not soda...to answer #3.
