ZarZar: Do we start defining the word "local"? In as much as you may not want to admit it, some accents aren't pleasant to the ear. What do you say about a guy who's English you strain your ears to hear or crack your brain to understand? Is it sexy when English language sounds like Swahilli? Call a spade what it is and stop acting all afrocentric to please who ever is you want to please. You're not more African than the rest of us. Again, the topic as clearly stated is about the possibility of dating a guy who's English sounds like a motor accident, no one is talking about guys with phony foreign accents. You brought that up. |

IamSINZ: I think you're the one missing the point here. 1) I already asked, if you change your accent, what will be the replacement if not a phony, foreign one? You keep it real yourself on that one because, you & I both know that the most preferred replacement or substitute, is an American accent. 2) As for me not wanting to admit that some accents are unpleasant. That is YOUR opinion & not me in denial. Just because something sounds unpleasant to you, doesn't mean we all share your opinion, so get over yourself fast. Yes, some accents are difficult to understand, but guess what? You're a human & can adapt to almost anything, so use your interpersonal skills to navigate your way around that problem, instead of looking down on people. In fact, your post reeks of elitism & snobbery for the simple fact that you expect someone to change themselves to suit you. It's not gonna happen! If you don't understand what someone is saying, you simply ask them to repeat themselves again, no matter how many times it takes you to get the word right. That's etiquette 101. 3) I never, EVER pretend. I'm not afraid to voice my opinion, no matter how far off it may be. I'm very independent in my thoughts & I always say exactly what is on my mind/soul, at any given time. Take it or leave it. So don't ever accuse me of trying to score invisible points just because I don't see things the way you do. You're Sinz, I'm ZarZar & I don't have to share your perspective on things. Period. 1 Like |

ZarZar: I never copied any accent, and my people always say my accent is foreign. The time I was watching Legend of the Seeker (my favorite movie), I heard a guy with my type of accent -- it was that guy that was stealing horses. Lol. At first a stranger would think its fake, but within minutes, they would agree it's natural. Fast and furious, avoiding the slightest mistakes.. . they say it sounds like a voice through a mixer. |

Snow84: Hmmmm...maybe you're doing it subconsciously, rather than faking it. I have a feeling you might have one of those deep, velvety voices Anyway, I also have a subconscious way of doing things. For me though, I suspect it's because I'm an animated speaker by nature. So usually, I use different tones depending on what I'm talking about. If I'm sharing an anecdote about a conversation between myself & someone else, to a 3rd party. I will use different vocal ranges (sometimes different accents) to differentiate between the two "characters" in my story. I also have an uncanny ability to mimic voices, so it almost becomes like watching a puppet show when I speak, I've been told 1 Like |
