★ The Accent Challenge.

We were talking about accents in the chat and it got me thinking about
The Accent Challenge.
Now you'll need to do a voice recording or a video if you're brave to partake. Please don't answer with a text post.
It's not very complicated, don't worry. I didn't invent it though I changed and added some questions to fit this website.

2. Where you’re from.
3. Pronounce the following words:
- Aunt

Vocaroo works but I'm probably going to do mine on Audacity (any computer should have a voice recorder though) and then upload it to tumblr and use that link just because I'm not sure how long Vocaroo keeps an audio for. I know some of the ones in the older threads no longer play.

I'm game.

I'll probably use Soundcloud.com and I would recommend that to others. Is it ok if I use profanities in answering questions (I sometimes find it hard not to... :p )?

I will try vocaroo for this and see how it is.

I just signed up to SoundCloud, it looks good so I'd recommend it over Vocaroo definitely at the moment.

I'll have a go at some point

I shall do that! =D

I have that book laying around here somewhere.

I don't want to be the first one to put one on...

There's already been one.

Also I presumed we had to answer those questions as part of the voice recording. Was I wrong?

I'd say to record all your answers kind of like a video blog or interview or whatever you choose to call it. Start recording "Hey, my username is smokeyeager and I'm from North Carolina, US and this is how I say (read off list of words). When we throw toilet paper on a house we call it tp'ing. We call a bubbly carbonated drink a drink or softdrink, we call gym shoes shoes and everything else by what it is like boots, heels, loafers, dress shoes etc.." so on and so forth down the list until you get to where it says "End audio post by saying any THREE words you want." say three words and click stop

It must've been deleted. I definitely listened to someone doing this!

Unless I'm going crazy (or crazier).

Have you recorded yourself and listened back to it or something?
