This came up in chat and I thought it would be fun to revive it!

For those of you who remember, we've done a couple of these before, but the links always expire! Since we've got lots of different players since the last time we did it and because it's fun, it's time for accent challenge 3.0!

So! Please use http://vocaroo.com if you can (if not you can use anything, but vocaroo just works well)to record your voice, and then answer the following questions and post your link here!

What is your name and HP name?

 

Where in the world are you from?

 

Please pronounce the following words: Roof, Aunt, Million, Water, Probably, Lawyer, Aluminium, GIF, Emoji, Potato, Laughter, Gravy, Tomato, Tractor, Caramel, Schedule, Iron, Both, Bottle, Authenticity, Mayonnaise, Yogurt, Scone

 

What do you call bubbly/carbonated drinks in your corner of the world?

 

What do you call gym shoes?

 

What do you call your parents and grandparents?

 

What do you call the thing you push around to carry groceries at the supermarket?

 

What do you wear when you go swimming?

 

What are these called?

 

What do you call this?

 

What about this one? (It's not parsley, by the way, it's the other one that some people say tastes like soap ;).)

 

 

 

What do people ask you when they find out you're from _______country/state/city_______?

 

Do YOU think you have an accent?

 

BONUS ROUND: Pick a random book and just read us a paragraph!

If you have another app on your phone that would work, you can use that! Vocaroo is just the easiest!

You should really add crayon to the list of words. I found out that I pronounce it "wrong" according to my husband. :P

 Flair you have a nice talking voice! 

 

I want to do this but I don't really want to because I hate the sound of my own voice.

Lol Flair, I'm from Cali but we're moving up to northern Idaho in a couple years and I'm already getting potato questions even though I haven't moved yet ahaha.

Also, my sister pointed out that I said Aunt as "awnt." In casual conversation, I usually pronounce it as "ant" but I read a lot, and I notice that my mental voice enunciates a lot more than my conversing voice, so when I read words, I pronounce them differently than when I say them in conversation. So. Fun fact. (She's also trying to debate me on caramel, but I know how I pronounce caramel lmao)

You should do it Sass! It's cool to hear everyone's voices ^-^

 If you guys don't have vocaroo you can use anything! I just picked vocaroo because it's easy/works well.

 MJ - I have that same coloring book! Haha.

We should have added pecan as one of the words to pronounce! I was just thinking how no one ever pronounces that one the same, haha.
