(Theres a cameo of Chris. He gives a WTF look hahaa)

I just watched the 24 parody. Chris did a pretty good job with the American accent (or non-accent however you see it.) It's like it's not even him!!!!!

^I know right hahaa. He kinda looks like Daniel there.

a very grown up Daniel! He's got the blonde hair, but it's all slicked back...

seriously, it's like a whole different person when he's not speaking with his accent

sooo weird

Are our accents that strong?

it's noticeable. But, I bet you could spot an American if they asked you for directions, ya?

I actually was talking with a friend on the PS3 with a headset and I was like "wow you are from australia" and he said "no, London actually" so apparently I can't tell much of a difference shame on me

I hear all sorts of accents here, but we're a melting pot of everything. I grew up in Central New York so we had our own little Fargo-type talk. I moved here to Virginia and most everyone has this Southern drawl which i can't stand. I told my mom if I had to move 800 miles south, I'm not going to marry a Southern speakin' redneck. I ended up with a country boy who has no accent but does say "ya'll" which is better than it could be.

And then you have the Ghetto speak which is soooo disgusting to listen to. Ebonics is the official term...I'm not a grammar nazi but I would appreciate it if they formed complete sentences and pronounced their words effectively. Then there is the infiltrating Mexican population. There are a few French, German, and Asian people but they are in the minority. It gets worse the denser the population like in DC or NYC...we're a med-size city with about 30,000 peeps

ROFL.

T-Bag on Prisonbreak when playing poker: "A full house? Thats a concept a Mexican should be quite familiar with hey Jesus'?"

Sorry i know thats racist.....but funny.

I have a mic and have talked to my mates from US etc over it and they're all like "OMG you sound soo Aussie." Hahaha i get told i sound like a little kid too at times. At first i was like "yeah right" but now when i call people at work they're all like "hello sweetie" and "of course love"....i'm not a little kid damn it!

LOL you'd be surprised how many people actually reside in the apartment complexes that have been taken over by the Mexicans. It's a sad story, really, but what can you do? It's not my fault your country is shit.

I shouldn't talk bad because i <3 the food and I'm going to get off the computer now and get ready to visit one of their fine establishments downtown.

Yummmm nachos are good. And some Mexican guys are fucken hot like Surce from PB. haha.

Its the same in every country love, we have Asians, Sudanese, Indians etc here. Don't have a problem with them until they start trying to change our way of life. But we'll leave this discussion for another time i think.


I should be heading to bed....but the neighbours wont shut up, its right outside my bedroom window grrrrr.

Chris has a good American accent.
Yeah when I speak to people abroad they're quite fascinated by it. My accent isn't particularly posh nor is it cockney nor is it 'ghetto'. Just think it's a normal London accent. I love listening out for different accents. Yeah it's quite weird because one of my friends who's Asian and is studying here said that she couldn't tell the difference between a British and Australian accent either There are so many different types of accents in the UK (scouse, geordie, bristolian, cockney, welsh etc to name a few) so loads of people don't speak like the Queen lol.

Yeah, i think everywhere has different dialects on the native language. Not all English speaking people speak with the same tones and inflections as everyone else.

Keeps us unique!

Does Chris have a strong accent? Like when you hear him talking in his normal voice at like award shows and stuff? To me he sounds like a normal guy so i don't pick anything up but what do you guys reckon?

It sounds normal to me, normal Australian accent. It's hard to describe what it sounds like except that it's different than the English I heard growing up. For example...the word "what"

I say it so that the 'a' is more of an 'ah' sound, as in the beginning sound of water...wa...wat...what (but I think Australians pronounce it more like "woter")

It sounds like other English accents are pronouncing it more "whot". The mouth is formed more into an "o" shape when saying the 'a', almost like the lips would need to be close together. Whereas mine is more oval shape, the lips further apart. To say 'whot' takes more of a throaty sound to form the word, 'what' is more just air passing through. In other words, it takes more work for me to say "what" in an accent than if i say it how i would normally.

here is what I found from an internet article explaining how to speak in an Australian accent:

**Learn to speak from the back of your tongue while limiting the movement of your lips. Hold the tip of your tongue as close to the roof of your mouth as possible while pressing the middle of your tongue down.

**Pay attention to the pronunciation of individual letters. Vowel pronunciation is the most significant difference between American, British and Australian English. Elongate your vowels ("Eel-oon-gayte uur vowls"). Note that words ending with "ay" sound are pronounced "ie." For example, say "Practice "to-die" so you will be ready tomorrow."

**Speak quickly so the words run together. End sentences with an upward intonation. Make every comment sound like a question.

**Shorten or abbreviate words and add an "o" to the end. Afternoon becomes "arvo" and business becomes "bizzo."

and of course, your slang is much different than mine! I love the accent, don't get me wrong...I think it's fascinating to listen to oversees English than home English. It's exotic and beautiful to me...my English is so boring but that's because i've heard it for 26 years!

Yep. I say water like "wort-ter". I reckon the English say it "wo-ah" because to me they seem like they say everything with a silent T.

"I know right?"
"Omg like don't you think?"

Ummm FAIL. We're not bimbos.

Niccicola wrote:**Shorten or abbreviate words and add an "o" to the end. Afternoon becomes "arvo" and business becomes "bizzo."

Bizzo?

Yes we put "o" on the end of alot of things and sometimes "azza" as well like Barry we call them Bazza. And Aaron we call "Azza".

Mate, shitfaced, g'day, rippa, bloody are some of the commonly used slangs in my household.

I say "worter". I find American accents on the whole are very squeaky. I like Australian accents. And I can tell the difference between the accents (although I'm not sure where they come from). I can tell Phil's accent is different to Mr. G's for example.

Sorry to constantly self promote (god... I am like Phil) but I made a video testing out an Australian accent. It's not very good and it goes off so many times but I think there's a few convincing moments:

I say's his is from Brisbane but... I have know idea if that's a Brisbane accent.

I don't really know how I talk. It's not that posh or anything (very few Brits talk like that and those that do are usually a bit odd) but again it's not cockney. Although I bet some people would say I talk posh... I dunno...

We have a lot of Australians on telly over here. And on radio. We get a lot of shows about the country as well. Although I wouldn't mind if you could keep Rolf Harris. He scares me a little.

And British people sat "mate" a lot. I say it a lot. But then I also say "blimey" and "well isn't that wizard" quite a bit. Ironically, I assure you.
