Show us your accent (Part II)

[mastersquirrel]

I felt like recording something today, and after watching another episode of Whose Line (Notice that the grammar is correct!!) I got an idea. And from that idea is born a compilation of three of my favorite Colin Mochrie quotes. And thus I present:

The 6 o'clock News

EDIT: It seems I messed some other things up, so I fixed their spelling. (Happy now Rex!? )

[TurkishMonky]

[TurkishMonky]

Ta-dah.

*listens to Kae's new song* errr..*cough*...of course I'm attracted to your voice...*cough*...

EDIT: haha! I thought I was posting in the bump thread again!

[Nate]

Yeah, I know, my voice sucks. XD;;

[Doe Johnson]

[quote="kaemmerite"]Yeah, I know, my voice sucks. XD]
It doesn't suck!! I just liked your earlier recordings better!

[Warrior4Christ]

Excellent. I like these.

[Sakura15]

[TurkishMonky]

[ChristianKitsune]

haha I know its like almost 2 months since the last post...
but...

here is me!! ^_^

I messed up on the word Sorry..that's not how I pronounce it...^^;

MEE!!!

[Doe Johnson]

hey, CR, that file is very very hard to hear. plus it never loads all the way for me for some reason. do you think you could email it to me? we ususally use http://www.yousendit.com/ for emailing files here.

anywho, that sounded NOTHING like you...that was so weird...hmm...

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Maybe try saying a sentence CR. That would work better. You said 'Noarlunga' the right way! (It's an Aboriginal name for a suburb here)

[ChristianKitsune]

*is now registered with Yousendit..but I don't get it..it's just an email service.)

It doesn't sound like me? hmmm....

(maybe it's the fact that I am speaking through headphones instead of a mic)

[Omega Amen]

I just did the recording of the two original lists on the first post of this thread. It is all in one MP3 file. I have no idea how to classify my accent. So, I am interested in your opinions.

I guess it is some type of American English....

[Rexman64]

Well, I was bored:

Unless I'm missing something, I've got a pretty generic American accent. *shrug* Oh, and here's a special little extra for the Bump Thread regulars:

[the_lizardqueen]

I'm suddenly realizing that I say mischievous, amen, vase and a couplea other words really, really oddly. Hey! But odd pronunciations of roof and garage aren't just a Canadian phenomena!

*would record herself, if wern't for a very strong aversion to her voice recorded that she's had since age 9. Plus the technology is confusing*

[Warrior4Christ]

It's actually everybody else that says stuff really oddly. We want to hear yours, teh LQ!

CR-chan: good to hear your voice!
roof = ruff?
sorry = surri?

Omega Amen: you have a good media voice, I think. I can't really tell American accents apart that well...

Rex: "...and this is a cruel, cruel word: Noarlunga." XD (or maybe it was cool, cool word?)
You speak rather softly, Rex. Good 'Forum Wars' thing!

[Linksquest]

I just listened to Rex's and OmegaAmen's because those are the only two whose yousendit files have not yet expired... Both of you seem to have good speaking voices, though I agree with Warrior4Christ that you speak softly, Rex, lol. I dunno if it was because you were trying not to be loud...

Great job guys! I may or may not do this...

[Rexman64]

I do speak pretty softly. But it was even more so on those recordings, since Mom and Dad were upstairs and I didn't want to wake them up and have them wonder why I was talking to my computer.
No, it was cruel, cruel of you to put a secret message there. :p I almost didn't see it~
And did I even come close to pronouncing Noarlunga right? XD

I want to record something a bit more "conversational", since my reading voice is horrible. I kind of slur my Rs and basically sound slightly drunk when reading...

[Linksquest]

I thought as much. It did sound like you were trying to make your voice quieter for some reason. It's understandable!

I have no idea what that word even means. This is the first time I have ever seen it it my life... I'm not even sure if it exists

[ChristianKitsune]

I TOLD you I messed up!! I don't really pronouce Sorry that way! ^^; I say it the regular way. ^^;

Did I pronouce roof Ruff?! EEP!
My father who used to be a contractor, would killish me...>>

[Rexman64]

It just... had to be said.

Yes, months late. So sue me.

[ChristianKitsune]

Haha, informative! I say it as it is spelled "caramel" and I only say it as "carmel" when in reference to "CARMEL CORN" lol

CR... the only problem is... it wasn't your voice that was quiet, the whole file was way to quiet... I had to turn up my speaker insanely high to hear anything! What I heard sounded good though,

[Doe Johnson]

*now has all the files on her comp* yay!

[Linksquest]

People have told me that i have quite a strapping, young voice. A voice of a lad.

hahah, where would that have gotten that notion? *looks at your username*

[TheMelodyMaker]

CR... the only problem is... it wasn't your voice that was quiet, the whole file was way to quiet... I had to turn up my speaker insanely high to hear anything! What I heard sounded good though,

I managed to fix it in GoldWave by removing the offset and then normalizing it. You do have a nice voice, CR.

[ChristianKitsune]

I am speaking through head phones.....not a mic...^^;

thank you MM! ^_^

[TheMelodyMaker]

Gravedug! Okay, so I've totally broken the rules of the thread and went and said my own thing, but here I am in all my nasalishness. ^_^;;

[Edit: Sorry, the file no longer exists on my server. Go listen to me sing instead. ]
