Yank accents on VOX

In all seriousness though, if you're from the US, and not an American first and foremost, I want nothing to do with you. And after that.... what does it really matter where you're from?

I've probably got one of the thickest southern accents in the game...I just don't drawl....

Contradictory claim.

  Sorry.  That meme always cracks me up.

Indeed!  Living around Washington DC most of my life will do that.  My 15 years down in the South has done little to change my accent ...tho' I've been known to utter the occasional "y'all" once in a blue moon.

I think I can safely speak for all Americans when I say we accept no responsibility for Dick Van Dyke's horrid accent and bad comedy.  Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the last straw...ye gods.  

i lived in Laurel Maryland for 8 years and got accused of having a southern drawl, albeit, not thick. Dont think that being in Washington DC will save you from being accused of a redneck up her in Massachusetts. as for the yanks, i love listening to all the english accents, from england all the way down to new zealand and Australia. and they're the nicest most civilized people. then again i was born in germany and love a good german or european accent too. but voice doesnt make the person. its about having fun, not what accent he/she has!

PS i loved chitty chitty bang bang!! horrid accent or not, they were fun movies


<S> to all!! no disrespect meant to anyone!

That's because people in the Northeast talk funny.   

P.S.  None of my posts in this thread are serious or should be taken as such....well...except the Van Dyke / Chitty Chitty Bang Bang* ones. 


* Which I like to refer to as Chity Chity Bang Bang with a Cheech Martin accent.

Well, you're in the south, and you talk like you should be hanging around Dupont Circle. 

Aww burn!!! Hahahaha

Dang...and I thought being funny looking was all I had to deal with.

And here I was just thinking Brit pilots I run into all sound like they walked off the set of Mary Poppins....

Found this site. The map on the left shows pronunciation patterns for various regions in the US and Canada. Click on the map to enlarge it, then click on a particular region, finally click on a specific location within the region. You will then be taken to a list of audio recordings and examples. If you've ever heard me over vox, I would fall into the lowland south region of Arkansas.
