Tales of Home [7]

This is the very 1st time Ive done a vid, Obviously Ive done something wrong as its sideways but, unless you fook up you wont learn so, heyho, IL try to improve
Oh gawd, this is it..................

{{{You've a great speaking voice Azriel And yup you're right- those flats are ugly blocks. Fortunately most of that style of building around here as been pulled down and replaced. Just concrete blocks with windows in them Hope they do the same the ones in your neighbourhood too.}}}

its so nice to hear everyones voices, youve got such a lovely voice Az dunnomif petty could tell bedtime stories though.... something to do with that barrel....

and that dog<3

Thankyou, You & Amarie sound lovely, so does Blue & even you, Petty, surprised me I thought youde have an accent as rough as a hedgehogs arse
Yeah, the flats are 1970s, bloody awful.
I agree with Norc, its great fun listening to you all I'm so curious to hear the others now

Yeah, Az. You should definitely go for a job in radio dj'ing

Not sure I follow the ".. switch into your heathen lingo!" line though, as I think me, norc and amarië sound infinitely more different when speaking Norwegian than English..

{{{Oh you all sound different, but different dialects of heathen! Don't worry Blue its not your fault, after all you Fjordians and others cant help the fact you are foreigners }}}

Az!

Very cool and kinda weird to hear everyone's voices at long last, everyone sounded completely different to what I was expecting, I love your dialect Am, Az you should totally consider a career in audiobook reading, and was that a copy of The Sun I spotted Petty?  

And no, I will probably not be recording a video, because A) I have a crappy camera and B) I hate being seen/heard on camera, much like the reclusive film director I took my username from, I'd prefer to remain the man of mystery (not actually sure if the SD card slot in my laptop still works so I'm entirely sure I'd be able to upload a video anyway)...

I will say that comic book Bilbo in my forum avatar has similar hair to me (though he has more of it   ) and I live in Hampshire, England (in between Southampton and Portsmouth to be a little more precise) the traditional Hampshire accent is quite rare nowadays, most of us seem to sound like posh cockneys, I have a accent fairly close to what most would consider Estuary English:

So, uh...closer to Ricky Gervais or Russell Brand?

(I see it's a whole bloody island of non-rhotics)

I'm not going to listen to those two twerps again if I can avoid it, but I suppose closer to the former? Maybe a bit posher (compared to Az and Petty I probably sound like I'm a member of the Royal Family).

Accents can change every 20-30 miles in parts of the UK, Portsmouth had its own cockney like traditional accent for years but that's becoming rarer, my great Uncle has lived in Wales for 61 years after moving down from the midlands, but still has a noticeably different accent to my native Welsh great Aunt etc

I prounce Southampton Sowfhamptun (emphasis on the p)

hey, i think you should do one, jeez, we did it in our second language, and your voice is probably not terrible. it always sounds weird hearing ur own voice because it doesn't resonate in ur head

Thankyou Malick for the compliment, My son thinks we speak Estuary too I just say it like it is. Funny how this thread has taken off as it has We all seem to be itching to find out how each of us sounds ?

i sound like a troll.

Yes, you sound very fearsome.

Norc is the Ice Princess She can lure you in with the sweet sound of her voice, like a cool rippling stream & then......POW !! You've had it mate !!! .......................................if she's in the mood that is ?

{{{I have no idea what I sound like to other ears, specially not foreign ones, and especially not Fjordian foreign ones. Probably unintelligible, or drunk, which would be correct on both counts }}}

me sounding like a complete plonker.

Awh you don't sound like a plonker Figgy You sound lovely You sound light & lively & cheerful Hee hee, this is exciting

{{{Figg You don't sound as 'northern' as I expected Figg (and a bit posher!) Maybe you need a few Newcastle Ales down you You also sound far too nice, fun, cheerful and lovely - stop it! How am I supposed to keep pointing out all the ways you are wrong about Who and PJ's LotR's if you go around insisting on sounding nice?!!! You have no consideration for the crabbit needs of others lassie! }}}

aww you guys

Adorable. Funny thing is, in my imagination you and Az would have switched voices.

Figg didn't sound like i expected but then i don't know what i expected...

you guys this is weird but i feel closer to you all somehow now! and i want to meet up even more now! you sound like such lovely silly people

you sound like such lovely silly people- Norc

{{ LOVELY! }}}
