★ 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.

Accent Challenge

1. Your username
2. Where you’re from.
3. Pronounce the following words:
- Aunt
- Roof
- Route
- Theatre
- Iron
- Salmon
- Caramel
- Fire
- Water
- New Orleans
- Pecan
- Both
- Again
- Probably
- Alabama
- Lawyer
- Coupon
- Mayonnaise
- Pyjamas
- Caught
- Naturally
- Aluminium
- getDare
- Crackerjack
- Doorknob
- Envelope

4. What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
5. What is a bubbly carbonated drink called?
6. What do you call gym shoes?
7. What do you call your grandparents?
8. What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
9. What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
10. Choose a book and read a passage from it.
11. Do you think you have an accent?
12. Name 5 getDare users as quickly as you can without thinking.
13. What's your favourite accent other than your own?

End audio post by saying any THREE words you want.

What site can I record my voice on?

And do we say everything mic? Like even our username, where we are from?

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.

KansasRush 05-19-2011 03:45 PM
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.

G.J. 05-19-2011 04:29 PM

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?

smokeyeager 05-19-2011 04:43 PM
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?

No! It was an American person.

It happened and then unhappened. But, crucially, it still happened.

I will do one in a little while? I really think BettyBoop *cough* should have bit the bullet and posted first... :p

Sharp Nacelle 05-19-2011 05:06 PM

Yes someone did do one but then deleted it. I would have done one last night but I'm not very well and I was losing my voice at the time. I'll do one today.
And can people please not answer the questionnaire with text, it defeats the entire point.

Might want to edit the op to say answer the questions on voice to clarify it.

That's the first time I've ever been told I sound like a good ol' gangster. I guess it's because I sound like I'm standing in an empty warehouse, probably with the corpses of the last ten people to piss me off... ;)

Ranzid 05-20-2011 08:31 AM
i guessed 9 bodies .. but i think i was close enough

Drilldon 05-22-2011 07:35 AM
No one else? thats a shame

I think this needed an american accent :)

P.S sorry if there's noise in the background, I have a lot of windows open on my computer!

Dangerous 05-22-2011 09:54 AM
I'm in.
I'll record it later though

Embii 05-22-2011 11:12 AM
Eurgh, I don't like my voice on recording. I swear I sound different in real life. Anyway, this is mine
*crosses fingers no one will actually listen*

Stellz 05-22-2011 11:37 AM

Fuck me, It feels as if I'm stood right next to the Liffey :)
I've recorded one, but sound like a proper prick, so I'm going to wait until I've had a bit to drink, because I won't listen to myself.

Because I seem to have some sort of masochistic urge to further wreck my voice.
