Me talking, everyone post a voice recording, I just set up a wallpaper so you couldn't see me, my webcamera is very tricky ;)
Everyone post!! Please!!
Just a voice, it'd be so interesting to hear you all, me and Q.Araignee and I have been swapping voice clips via MSN, so cool to hear her say my name in an accent totally different to Australian! :)

Was I supposed to hear your voice, or something? Because I sure didn't. Nor did I see a picture of you. Are you sure it's the correct link? :???:

ah, so that's your voice.

are you sure you just didn't have the sound high enough? i had to turn mine to maxium volume in order to hear him, and even then i had to press the head phones into my ears.

Cool! I absolutely love your accent. :grin: I wish I had a British or Aussie accent.

Ok, so I have a few videos on my photobucket that I'm talking in. So, here's my voice, although I'm not talking to you guys in it. I'm talking to Benny. :lol:

And Fawkes is in this one! She's the one giving Benny the commands. I'm the one talking to her. And my parents are talking in the background. And I believe the TV was on, too. :lol:

Awww... Shucks!
That's awesome Fawkes & Duckie!! You both have such strong accents, especially you Duckie .
Ohh this is fun!!

Godric, I've got the flu and I posted, pweez post!! I'm eager to hear what you sound like, most likely the same as Duckie & Fawkes, but I still wanna hear!

Cannot wait for more people to post voice clips, oh and Salemboy, must be something with your computer because everyone else seems to have heard it.

PS. I was nearly whispering in my voice recording that's why it was so quiet, everyone was asleep, hopefuly I can do one where I talk loud and clearly.

Ok, now I heard it. It's kind of cool to hear your voices. Sadly, I lack a mic, so I can't do the same, and I lack any recent videos with my voice in them (unless you count that stupid project I helped some kids with, where I was a super hero. Yeah, it was really stupid).

But, wow, your voices all sound so cool. Of course, that's coming from the kid who sees Japanese every day, but still, the english/aussie accent just sounds awesome.

:lol: I never think of myself having an accent! Well, I've got an American accent, I suppose, but it's pretty average. My grandma has a thick New York City accent, though.

Yeah, that video was from a while ago, Fawkes. :lol: It's the only one I had of your voice. Actually, the first one is almost 2 years old, too. I should do a new video of my voice.

Do you have a digital camera, salemboy? That should have a video option, and it records sound.

Um, what if I told you that I had absolutely no idea on how to operate a digital camera, and that I shunned that form of technology about a year ago?

I took an accent quiz once. I have a GReat Lakes accent. It's actually a little different from Duckie's and Fawkes'. It's pretty much a basic accent.
Ooh! Just found a microphone. Now if I could just figure out how to use it.... *Touches it. Explosion*.

I just remembered that I do have a more recent video! I took this when we were on vacation. Fawkes, youknowwho, me, and our mom were on a paddle boat and I took a video of the lake, narrated my moi. :lol: Here it is. Fawkes might be talking in it, too, but I don't really remember.

http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p301 ... 2_1143.flv

I took this quiz and got a Midland accent.
http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_american_a ... o_you_have

"What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland


"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio."
