Describe your accent?

I have a soft and formal common London accent, no twangs or weird pronunciations

I have no accent
Mostly it's just the Leeds accent but not massively strong, I also despise it so I don't really want it to be that thick
Sometimes it'll be much posher than that though and sound kind of southern (I don't know what area lol) which I also despise as it makes me sound awful
Basically I hate my voice lmao
Glaswegian
Like a normal London accent...

But I pronounce iron as eye-ron, apparently everyone says eye-on? I don't know../
The standard RP accent which can sometimes sound posh, however I have elements of the Australian and Yorkshire accent mixed in. Its very bizarre.
just british

A very broad Glaswegian/Ayrshire accent with a lot of slang :colondollar:

Everyone tells me I have a posh British accent. I don't sound Essex at all, which is excellent.

I am from Cardiff so I have a slight Southern Welsh accent mixed with standard RP. It sounds very unusual and unique but I have been told it is very soothing to listen to.

I don't think I have an accent, I live in London though and I don't think people who live in London have particularly noticeable accents.

Really? I thought I just sounded normal but I have seen people on the bus, who go to different schools, talking really loudly in strange accents.
Although I am scouse I get told that I speak posh at times. I guess I dip in and out ahaha.

Typical East London accent I'd say, maybe a hint of Irish.

Exactly, we have strong accents, well not as strong as other accents in the country, but it is quite distinctive.

whats that?

google says
Valley girl is a socio-economic stereotype depicting a class of women characterized by the colloquial California English dialect Valleyspeak and vapid materialism.

and then urban dict says
a girl who spends 99.9% of her waking hours at the mall, and says..."totally", "whatever" and "oh my gosh/god)" wayyy too much

:confused:
