Re: How do you talk?
I only have a accent on some words. I was raised in New York until I was five, and some of it stayed with me. Especially when I say the words "turn" or "sl*t" I pronounce them "tourn" (e.g. tourn the doorknob) and the u in sl*t gets really weird like "sl-uuuh-t". Imagine a New Yorker saying sl*t... but then there's a weird mix of that and this accent that it seems only I have. You have to hear it to know what I'm talking about.
Re: How do you talk?
I'm from Illinois and around here, most of us, generally don't have an accent at all really. But for whatever reason, I talk with a bit of a redneck twang with a bit of the "ghetto" is what I'm told....Ha! I say sodie not soda, or soda pop....I say howdy and ya'll....I use a warshcloth, not awash cloth....even my closest friends look at me weird sometimes because of how I say something and I'll have absolutely NO idea how or where I picked it up from...
I love to listen to different accents and dialects. Each one is so different...

Re: How do you talk?
I don't think I have much an accent, unless Canadian counts lol?
Well, expect once in New York, I was talking to this cash register and she asked me if I was from Canada because I seem to talk like it. Oh but I say "hello" like I'm British for whatever reason, haha I can't help it.

Re: How do you talk?
I usually think others have an accent but I do. I sound like a Floridan and I say Florida differently. I say it like "Floor-a-duh" and "Flarida" like my parents. I also enunciate a lot and sound clear. I think its a have cause I kinda want to be a voice actor.

Re: How do you talk?
I am Canadian, so I have a Canadian accent. I really wish I could hear what it sounds like!
My Oma has a german accent and it is so strong I can barely understand her, and my mom sort of gets a german accent when she speaks german.

Re: How do you talk?
Im from the South of England so i dont really think i have a accent. Its so unfair how people up north have really prominent accents that are really varied.I love the Then down south with havent really got any.
Re: How do you talk?
^ I'm from the south of England too and I never think I have an accent, but there are some down here; Cornish, Bristol-ish(whatever that is called) . . . etc. The only time I ever notice an English accent is if that person is on a american show and then it sounds weird to me

Re: How do you talk?
I talk with a strong southern accent, because I've lived in Georgia my whole life. I do NOT have a country accent. I'm not a hillbilly that sounds stupid all the time.
Grrrrr...
