Posting in accents

[Miri]

Just curious, but when you read another person's post, what accent do you
have in your head. I know you are all thinking eeh!

What I mean is mostly when I read a post I read it with my British
accent. But then sometimes I might build up an impression of
a person in my mind depending what they have said and
kind of hear their accent, or what I think they might sound like, in my head.

So TX for example, I read his posts with a sort of Dallas drawl in my head.

While pmom, I think of her voice as being bubbly, mumsy, chatty with British accent.

Blain, in my head has a BBC newsreader voice.

Depleted - maybe a country girl USA accent, I think because of the denum
jeans on the teddy bears. Lol.

Sirk, maybe a Uk cockney London accent. Lol

Tintin - got to be a croc Dundee with a tinge of Eton school boy in there.

Olderthennew - that's tricky I think they sound like everyone's favourite
aunt and uncle, something like the Waltons.

So now you know I really am nuts after all. Lol

Dutch just pictures me as saying beached as bro beached as and stung ray for stingray

hehe

Sadly I "hear" it in a sort of standard TV- American accent :/ I am not creative enough to make up all the varieties
(unless people write in accents)

Maybe I should start imagining it in Petter Solberg accent (A Norwegian rally driver. He is really really lousy at speaking English).

I'm taking a look at the flag above the avatar, and if the person is from the states, I'm hearing a lower Alabama accent while I'm reading. If the flag is British, then I'm hearing a Yorkshire accent while I'm reading because I've been living there. Be the flag Norwegian, well, that flag comes with a posh Tromsø-dialekt

Yorkshire is the most funniest accent of the english IMO. MY science teacher got hassled all the time from our class because he would say "bornsin burner" (bunsen burner) My Grandad was from there so apparently im a 1/4 or one eighth english but yeh they have funny accents plus that and all the females seem to have brown hair and bushy eyebrows ahahha just my theory

hmmm. oh ok interesting

Haha this is interesting. I've always imagined everyone to sound like me. I hear my voice when reading through posts. Well maybe they sound different depending on the person. Like, when I'm reading Missy's posts, it's a high pitched version of myself. And if it's Molly, well, actually I've heard her talk so I hear her voice, same for Katie, Siberian and Roh. I have heard Tintin's and Chancer's too.

If it's crosstweed, it's a a little lower than my voice, but I always picture her as a female version of Benedict Cumberbatch, so whatever a witty British female detective sounds like...

LittleBit, I always imagine her voice to sound like smiling when she's talking or something. Maybe because of her avatar.

The rest are just different versions of my voice lel, depending on their avatars too.

Scottish voice.

I imagined she had a viking voice, but I dunno what vikings sound like >.<

 

[Miri]

Abig, I have a friend from the Philippines but he has hardly any accent at
all, just sounds like a Brit. So in my mind people from the Philippines
have a Brit accent.

Oh and he is a fantastic drummer, so I tend to think all Philippinoes
are muscial.

 

[missy2014]

[missy2014]
