I've got a general Australian accent, but it's not as strong as, say, Julia Gillard's. I guess you could call it a municipal Aussie accent. But then again, I don't have a British accent, although many of my high school classmates and their parents do. Actually, you'd probably call it a cultivated/educated Australian accent. No-one in primary school had that accent, though. Hermes, I've always imagined you with a BBC accent. I wasn't too far off. Um, like a stereotypical Southerner? Terry Craig, aren't you British? *is confused*

I also love a Scottish accent, even though it's completely different. I have a Scottish accent- it's not broad, but you could tell where I'm from. So if you're reading all my posts in a female Scottish accent, you're doing it right. Nice! Reading stuff in a Scottish accent always makes the written cooler in my opinion. Terry Craig, aren't you British? *is confused* Yeah, I just love me some American southern twang and Scottish accent is all. As for my actual accent it's a pretty normal British one, except for maybe in the far North of England.

My accent is British, but migratory- when I'm in the North-East, people think I'm from London, but when I'm in the South people think I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Geordie. Sorry for the impertinence.

B.: I tried reading your comment with a Scottish accent. The word "right" ended up sounding "raight". Do scottish people pronounce it like that or am I being stupid?

I didn't think we did- but saying it out loud to myself it does sound sorta like "raight." I would make a recording or something, but I'm shy. Edit: But you can listen to my associate talking here. My accent is similar.

I have a Scottish accent but it's not broad like Glaswegian or anything. It's pretty generic to be honest

I normally have a west coast American accent.
I'm capable of doing many others though:
British German Southern Military general Boris Karloff Typical 1940's gang member style (or inspector gadget as it's a little similar).
Things like that...

Those impresions sound funny. Are you okay with recording them and showing them to us?
