Y'all heard me singing already! ;-)

Sent!

My accent has become increasingly gutteral since moving back to Yorkshire. :-D

Just sent my voice too. ;-)

This proves to me that appearences can be deceptive. You sound  quite softly spoken but I'd imagined you'd sound quite different looking at your avatar :-)

He looks well 'ard. :-)

I've only just realised the windows drag, that's awesome!

Anywho...

adz - If I didn't know already, I don't think I would have pinned down your accent!

Cecilia - Hello! :-D

Karlos - Somehow you're speaking in the exact same accent I always heard in my head reading CU Amiga and C&VG mags from the early 90s. That sort of simultaneously laddish and nerdy journo vibe. I think I just gave your voice a wine review.

mick_aka - You don't sound bad to me...?

Speelgoedmannetje - My ignorant attempts at pronouncing your handle weren't as far off the mark as I'd thought! P.S.: I just have a good microphone. ;-)

Whabang - that is some enunciation!

Wilse - Well, I love tons of things about Scotland, the accent is definitely one of them. :-)

Didn't even know I had an accent, I always thought my voice was quite neutral, I'm kinda curious to know what you were expecting.

...Er, Australian? :-D

Everyone has an accent, they just don't think they do 'cause people assimilate and assume the local standard is the norm.

So I don't sound Australian???

You don't sound un-Australian, but I wouldn't have really picked it up. Maybe with a longer sample there'd be more artifacts of your locale. :-)

There was nothing strategic about Lou Carpenter.

I'm pretty sure you guys suffer the "Home and Away" curse too, so I'm sure you meant Alf Stewart;

No, I meant Lou Carpenter... I just find his mention funny. You're right though, Alf is definitely much more, uh... strewthy than Lou, from what I recall. Didn't really watch H&A. :-)

I met a couple of Australians last week though and to be honest I think I spend so much time listening to Americans speak that I find it harder to differentiate between Aussies and Brits.
