Standard American accent (Northeast, not Boston or Brooklyn), but I say y'all a lot and pick up different quirks quite frequently. Hanging out with Southerners or binge-watching Friday Night Lights left me with a slightly higher voice for a while. Staying with a friend left me with her interesting accent and affectations. I'll probably end up sounding decently Scottish by the end of uni.

I'm from Bournemouth in the south of England and according to my friends up North (no, it's not north, but to us down here everywhere is north), like in Manchester, they all say I sound posh, even though I use chav slang all the time. I come out with expressions of all accents but my main accent is just standard English, with a twang of Australian (family), dunno what else. You'd have to hear it

Formal is more your BBC news readers and Royal family members. Standard is less refined, as in it doesn't sound as forced or posh.

thanks again :wink:

I speak with a really Northern Cumbrian accent. I sound a bit Manc too apparently to some people which is just weird. I always say 'mate' at the end of things

Hehe, who told you that? To be fair it has improved, over time e.g. the more we've talked, but it's funny when we haven't spoken for a while to hear the street come back into your accent/you forget to speak your best with me! :mmm:

Anything from old skool cockney through to East London Asian-G and South London "Jamaican patois" (Starkey, 2011)

Quite a few,apparently I sound like a white girl and they dont think I sound ethnic in any way :dontknow:

I always speak properly with you,it's only when I've watched easterners when I'm Abit influenced but generally speaking I've always spoken in a soft,neutral/posh tone of voice,just a plain southern accent
