it is Northeast in the country. Southwest would be somewhere are california and I could torture you all with the high valley girl accent, but I won't.

that shows you my limited world view, maine being the center of the map for me :-p

can ya do other odd accents? like mongolian or something? or like an arabic accent as if the person was caught on fire on their left leg and wearing a plate of armour and holding a megaphone?

I can do british and australian.. and other various regions of the country, but nothing extreme like that. My australian accent is so bad Scarlatti thought I was making fun of him.

Yay Dipthongs! Someone else knows what they are!

Sounds NYish. I like it.

A diphthong. ok. Lets try another example.

say "a". the letter. It sounds, in the Australian accent, like "aay", like a greeting.

Try "i". The letter. In AU Accent, it sounds like "eye".

Now, a "pure" vowel sound is one that doesn't change. like, say, "e" ("bee"). The "e" sound stays "e", it doesn't change into anything.

But try "i" (eye). It starts with one sound (try saying "a" but with your mouth WIDE open). Then, it finishes on an "i" sound (like from Monty Python, the nights that go "Ni!")

Those two sounds, glued together, is a "dipthong.". Its when you take a vowel sound and it turns into "another" vowel sound afterwards. So "eye" starts as "a with wide open mouth" and ends as "i with tongue right up against the roof of your mouth with your mouth kinda shut a bit, like "Ni!")

Try it.

yay morik!


Tenqual tells you, "Hrm, yes, i imagine so, from the comments, your singing
could shatter windows."

You tell Lord Tenqual, Maker of Bread, "It should?"

Tenqual tells you, "I mean it was bad dear *tickle*."

You tell Lord Tenqual, Maker of Bread, ":(."



From the rate of compliments and insults I'm getting.. I will be replacing Kidaen soonish.

Truly though, not bad, especially the fact that your singing in an accent not your own. I've been singing in a band for a long time, and whenever we do covers (as much as I hate them, people want them) that are in a slightly difficult accent, It's hard as hell.

Kudos!

My real singing voice sounds very mousey and high pitched.

url?

Aww, I love it!

no-one can do an australian accent properly who isn't australian....period.

I'd have to record something that doesn't suck.

Actually when it comes to speaking, I can pull british, aussie, french, and hawaiian accents off incredibly well. When I switched schools my junior year (parents moved to the other side of the island) to a private school for a bunch of rich punks, I played with a full solid aussie accent for nearly half the year, completely using a story that I had just moved to Maui from the big outback and what not, till I I forgot and gave a report in full pidjin accent like I had always spoken. Its hard, but its easy to spot a fake if the person impersonating the accent isnt intimately familiar with it, (which I am, been going there for 2 months every other year since I was a kid, and dealt with aussies on a daily basis in hawaii) bad tippers! ya wankahs

excatly, you have to be intimate with it!

And why the hell should you get a tip for doing your damn job! Not our fault you guys get paid poorly!

Woah. Not what I expected.

Wow Joli...

You live in the southeast right? Thats not an easy change in accent from what I've learned... Southeastern people usually have pretty clear accents of their own. That is a good NY accent... More pronounced than I think it is anymore, but about right from the 1940's-1950's.

I spent five years in a choir, and also did some singin on my own and stuff, this really is pretty good.

Deffinetly not what I expected. I wanna hear s'more!!

Encore!

Wanna hear your normal voice in the next one though.

It wasn't so bad, I am no good at accents (I am not american, not even native english) but it sounded more clear than the average american.
Very young voice, a bit childlike sometimes But didn't break windows at all! More like cute than windowbreaker actually.

I'm trying to record something that doesn't suck, but I'm failing and I'd rather not beat Kidaen at his job... so.. I'm going to go see Harry Potter.

Hrm... HP4 the movie had a few good parts, along with a whole lot of bad, and a ton missing. If you've read the book, the movie is like a slap in the face... Dumbledore is completely wrong, and... Grr... I was dissapointed with the movie... I've acctually considered writing a letter to em to tell em to get their act togeather. Four was such a long book, there was really no way they were going to get everything into it, without it being like a four or five hour movie... So I think they should have split it into either two or three movies... Either first and second half of the year, or one movie for each part of the Tri-wizard tournament would have worked. The book had more than enough going on in it to justify multiple movies for it, and they bit themselves in the ass if they have any hope for five or six...

I thought it was great, but they did cut out a lot of the good parts. I swear I love the weasley twins. They did an awesome job.

There's no way they'd make more than one movie per book. Just no way. We're lucky that we're getting seperate movies for each book. Most of the time they just cram them all together, like a series of misfortunate events (or whatever those books are called..).
