Voices of the Cult

Okay! I have a pretty high voice, I can hit about a Bflat when I sing (that's very high, for the musically challenged). I have a midwestern accent, or an American accent to you, Rohan (what people in other countries think of as an "American" accent, like the ones people use on the telly, is actually mostly a midwestern accent, or pretty much no accent at all, to the rest of America. I'm not sure why middle america got the distinction of being accentless. Some people have greatness thrust upon them, I guess). Commonly used phrases:
"dag, yo."
"kick(s) ass."
"looser-face."

I have a relatively deep voice. To anyone from Sydney, I sound like I'm from the North Shore... cause I am. To anyone else, you'd probably think I was english unless you had experience with aussies.

I talk pretty much like I type. Same phrasing, same words, etc. The exception to this is if I'm with some of my friends from up the coast or out west... then I kinda talk like they do... not sure why... makes them more comfortable, I guess.

Oh yeah, 'like them' generally means a bit more like Croc Dundee or Steve Irwin, and less like a pom

I won't go into the complexities of Coastie lingo here, you could write a book on it, but to keep it in style, you'd have consistantly use bad grammar, and call everyone either Shazza, Wozza, Dazza or Bazza.

I have a fairly deep voice and I don't like it. I think I sound dumb, but oh well.

I guess I've got default American accent. Hoo ray for being boring.

modulation - east coast
pitch - ?
tone - flat
accent - none to speak of, although at times people have been shocked when i tell them i am originally from the bronx. they think i am from the mid-west.
accent 2 - i can fake a number of accents. i am a world-class faker.

you DONT sound like a shore-bitch. i know this, because... i dunno, Tyler does as well.

um, ive covered this elsewhere-- but my North Shore patois- is mixed up to buggery--its Aussie/English/American-- ish- and i swear almost exclusively in Spanish/French. - and occassionally Italian. i.e. i sound like a total fucking prat.

Yes, and you also sound like a design student

oh fucking hell, do i? how bad is it?

am i terminal?

and how exactly do i?

is it because i talked about gif's and paper stock in my spare time?

*L* It's ok, I think you'll survive it

i will survive...
'cos as long as i know how to love...
i know ill stay alive?......

i speak in just normal boring english accent. really loudly aswell, which i never realised until someone in the cinema turned around and said "JUST SHUT UP!" it's not a well posh accent or anything either, the closest i can think of is Kate Winslet but that's only cuz we're both from Reading

i don't speak alot in my normal voice actually, im always trying out a different accent

Reading seems to be more happening everytime i hear about it.

In parallel to Robbie Williams supporting Port Vale ( in Stoke yeah? ), does Kate come down and barrack for Alan Pardew's Nationwide Warriors?

also- what other famous people hail from Reading?

ever since i started smoking two packs a day, i've sounded like a 1-900 operator.

just kidding, i don't smoke.

I sound a lot like a stupid posh english girl,from the 'home counties'.
Think Bill and Ted's English 'princess babes' from back in time. Luckily, I don't look like them though. EXCELLENT!!

I have the typical Northern Californian, West Coast accent, which to me, is the properist English around!

I tend to say "hella" a lot.

my voice is pretty high-pitched.. i think it might have a slight nasaly quality..but not enough to call it a nasal voice, if that makes any sense. its not the loudest thing, and in fact i mumble quite often... i am from ohio, so it sounds like, well, an ohio voice, only without those weirdly drawn-out a's. i say 'yeah you didnt', 'dude' of course, 'scrumtrelescent', and 'morning' [at all hours] a lot.

you can hear my voice (albeit, my radio voice, which is not, in any way my "real voice") every sunday night from 10-12pm (eastern standard time) on [url]www.impact89fm.org[/url]
i host my own radio show, you can listen with quicktime...

Vaguely deepish. Not that this will mean anything to anyone on this forum, but I've been told my accent is that of a Galway sheep farmer who keeps his flock in Stephen's Green. As far as I can tell that translates into "posh-sounding culchie".

moe - what's a 1 - 900 operator sound like *breathy panting*

depends...what are you wearing?

i usually have a confused tone, or one with excitment when i get ideas. think surfer, toned down

ACTUALLY!!!!!!! I HAVE RECORDED MY VOICE FOR A STUNT I DID WHERE I GOT WHACKED IN THE HEAD WITH A PHONE. OF COURSE IM FAIRLY SERIOUS AND SOUND NOTHING LIKE I USUALLY DO BUT STILL IF YOU WANT IT, EMAIL ME OR ADD ME TO MESSENGER

my god, you ARE Sick Boy.

anyway.

moe.ron, i *do* smoke, and I'm working on the "mommy needs another drink" type emphysema voice. goddamn i love cigarette voices. and cigarette laughs. don't ask me why. i already have a pretty good whistle to my laugh right now. check back in a few years, maybe it'll be a full blown smoker laugh. anyway, right now it's only evident in the morning.

that's another thing--helena bonham carter, constantly smoking in fight club, apparently constantly smoking in real life, no cigarette voice. what gives?

anyway. my voice is probably at about the pitch of HBC's, come to think of it. fairly low for a girl. but my accent is part new england (think good will hunting) and occasionally you can hear a little bit of upper midwest (think fargo). my friends tease me sometimes cause i sorta slip into saying "aboot" and stuff like that. but then my cousins from minnesota make me say the word "water" for them over and over again. so...i'm just a freak, basically.

but you can just imagine HBC's voice for me. that works.

......anyone wanna here it?

g u c c i t h e y a r e n o f u n. *robotic, asthma-like voice*

gucci, i host the afterglow. its on every sunday. it's like a mellow, relaxed indie show...you should definately listen since we are from the same surroundings.

Deep voice for white guy. People tell me I sound black. I speak the same way as I write in here. My accent is hard to describe. Lets just say its an American accent with some Ontario traits. Such as not pronouncing 't's very well. A conversation about Plato turns into a conversation about Playdough. The pitch of my voice changes depending on my mood though. When Im pissed off its much deeper. When Im excited its much higher.

It's really hard for me to describe my voice. Naturally low-pitched, but I think I speak a little bit above my natural voice a lot of the time. From Reno, Nuh-va (like bad) - duh, so other than that one word, no accent really, like Fucko said. In surreal moments, a Texan accents crawls out of my mouth, even though I left Texas when I was 4. Sometimes my old habit of talking too fast resurfaces, and my words get jumbled together. The majority of the time, though, I guess I'm somewhere between Dante in Clerks and Christian Slater.

well sir, you are going to have to listen this week, and call in and make a request. you can say "hey this is gucci ghost from the board" and i will say "hooray! let me play a song for you, sir!" then you will come and rent battle royale from video to go, and i will come to wilson (that's where you work, right?) and eat...and all will be well in the world again!

i sound like goofy... atleast i feel that way. not the new air brushed bitch of a goofy.. the oldschool goofy. okay, maybe i sound too average so i made all this up... yeah, that's it! i made it up!

I don't think she does, i think she lives in London now (beeetch). Reading is kicking!

Urmm not many famous people fromr ound here, Oscar Wilde did time in the jail here, Paul from the UK Big Bro2 used to live here, OOOHH Ricky Gervais (from The Office....not sure if you guys have heard of him? or that show?) used to live about 10mins from me, hmm i shall brainstorm and be back fair child!

Ricky Gervais, eh? Sexy. The Office rules.

are you calling me a hippie you bastard?!?!
if there's one thing i hate more than scott stapp, it's a dirty hippie.
wait, no...there's nothing i hate more than scott stapp, but hippies come close.

I think I sound like Butt-head from Beavis & Butt-head (duh!) but more slurred, more deep, and more incoherent either that or I sound like a complete and total stoner despite the fact I have not consciously smoked so much as a flakling (is that a word? if not, it is now!) of weed. For some reason I talk perfectly fine when I talk to myself which, for some reason, I do alot.

You'd be amazed how often people assume cos of my hair that I'm a hippy.

Then they see me reading, say, Jane's Intelligence Review, or "Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat", and have to do a double-take.

It's near impossible to describe how I sound because i'm one of those annoying vocal chameleons. I pick up accents and phrases like *that* and can sound like a dozen different people in the course of the day depending on what i'm doing / how i'm feeling, what music i've been listening to. :rolleyes:

Once upon a time there was an archived conversation from a friend's radio show hiding out in cyberspace somewhere, but last I checked, it had been deleted. Too bad, since it had been recorded while I was taking a bubble bath and the guys on the other end of the phone were trying to talk me into faking an orgasm...it was amusing.

*someone* around these parts told me forever and a day ago that they were giong to call me but they never did. *sniff* So rejected!

ROFL Yes! Can I join in?

Can we chuck a Patrick Bateman?

Do the whole see-through coats with axes and newspaper on the carpet?

TRY GETTING RESERVATIONS AT DORCIA'S NOW, YOU BASTARD!

hey y'all you can hear my voice if you log on to impact89fm.org right now and listen live...
...or don't, it's entirely up to you

I have a semi-deep voice, and a mid-west USA accent (the kind they use on tv).
I use "fo-sho" a lot.
I was also hoping to get 100 posts tonight, i gotta stop at 95 (or so) because I'm tired.

whats wrong with hippies man?

I've always had a thing for hippie chicks... at least the ones that comb their hair and such. Just something about a woman in hemp...

...and hairy armpits and legs?

I have a standard american/canadian accent (no I don't say aboot) which is overshadowed by how incredibly my sarcastic my voice always sounds as it has been honed from years of cynicism. Unfortunately, now that I've lightened up a little I just sound like I'm being an asshole most of the time because I never sound like I'm being serious, especially when I am.

Haha, I have the same problem, Alex. Everyone's so used to me being a sarcastic asshole, that when I try and compliment people, they're like "yeah fuck you too." And I'm like "crap.. i was serious." =\

yeh people can't tell when i'm being sarcastic so i'm like ok i didn't actually mean that! i dont think even my close friends or parents can tell!

i wish i had a south african accent. nothing sexier, that is, i mean , the britsh influenced accent, not afrikkaner.

Seriously. A South African bird lives a few floors up and I melt everytime I'm in the elevator with her. Though a Scottish accent ain't bad either.
My voice is baritone with a slight Boston accent that's nearly nonexistant during the day, but gradually becomes more present as I grow more tired. I've never really lived there, but my dad's from the East Coast, so I figure I must've picked it up from him or something. I wish I had a bit higher pitched voice, cause I would love to front a band. I just don't have any range, so I'd probably end up sounding like the lead singer from Cake or something.

NEVER INSULT CAKE EVER!!!

whoo...sorry about that. Umm...love!

That song... Comfort Eagle... is fuckin sweet. I was bored out of my mind and watching Shallow Hal one day... Heh... and yeah, that came on, and I was like "HOLY CRAP" cos the first words are "We are building a religion" and that's just way cool.

Whoa now. I wasn't insulting them, just saying that I've heard better singing voices, one's I'd rather have. If I could some how dig up Bradley Nowell's I'd be a happy, happy man. Then all I'd need is songwriting talent. And guitar skillz. And a kick ass band. *sigh*Alas, it shall never be.
