How do you imagine people sound like?

[∞]

What do you think users sound like? You know, voices.

We had alota image threads in the past. So I decided to do something different.

[Blake's Baby]

I think there are some people who sound like this - 'mwaaH! mwaaH!' - but then other people sound like this - 'wobwobwobwobwob' - and then again other people sound like this - 'eeeeeeeyaah-oooooh' - so it's a bit of a mix really.

[Brutus]

BB probably sounds like a brummie.

WHY? FOR GOD'S SAKE, whyyyyyyyyyy?

A Yorkshireman? Or are you a southerner?

I sound like 'mwaah! mwaah!' Let me guess, you sound like 'wobwobwobwobwob.' That's the voice I hear in my head when I read your posts.

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

I read everyone's posts in a received pronunciation accent, since that's how I (try to) talk. Except when people can't be bothered with punctuation, then I imagine them droning on in a Midwestern accent.

The point being, apparently, that I simply dislike the Midwestern accept?

I read Semendyaev's posts in the voice of Žižek

haha perfect.




I read yours in a young voice because you are young.

[ВАЛТЕР]

I read everyone's posts in my own E. European accent. Except, when I read things in the Western Balkans forum, since then I read things in my Bosnian accent, except when I read a post from someone from Serbia where they speak Ekavski and use the word "bre" and whatever....

[ed miliband]

think the boss (the user, not an actual boss) heard my voice on my radio show, remember him saying i sounded posher than he expected. i do sound quite posh i guess, which is strange since both my parents speak english with an accent and i didn't grow up in aposh area.

Spot on. I sound like a distant helicopter.

If people write in clear, well punctuated sentences I tend to read their posts in a kind of posh British accent (which is kind of weird I suppose because I speak with a bit of a Derbyshire accent). There are a few people whose posts I read in what I imagine to be a generic American accent, like #FF0000 because he uses a lot of slang, and some American users I have on my facebook.

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Quail: Inevitably I think of a Sheffield accent...a female one...don't have a touchstone in mind save Lesley Ash :crying:

I'm guessing you read mine in an american accent as well.

most are like the whirring sound of ship turbines spinning wildly as they lose contact with the water as the ship nose dives to the bottom of the sea

you're practically bourgeois

[ed miliband]

when i was young i had the nickname 'little lord fauntleroy' because of my accent, so aristocratic, actually.

[Rugged Collectivist]

I always pictured Rafiq's voice being really fucking intense. Like this.

[Brutus]

Rafiq is probably like bane (movie) from batman.
Dzerzhinksy with Bane's voice saying:'we have no time for bourgeois moralism'

You have just confirmed all my worst english stereotypes.

[ed miliband]

i have bad teeth too :(

But, you also sort of look like Frank Carter, which is the image that pops into my head when I think of an english version of myself, if there were such a thing.

a bit actually, yeah.

last year, for a solid month, everyone said i looked like this shite rapper called professor green. i'd get it on the bus from strangers, in the pub, and then it stopped. i think it was the way i had my hair / being ginger.

I got Macklemore incessantly, so much so that I had to stop combing my hair and start growing it out.

A photo of me could not be posted to a social network w/o somebody saying something about Macklemore.


I forgot that this thread is about voices. Imagine yelling, thats how I sound all the time.

Well I sound like the bastard son of RZA and Dracula. It really helps attracting the opposite sex (sarcasm).

[Ele'ill]

I've been told that I look and sound like liev schreiber

[Pirate Utopian]

Dracula had several brides...

No you don't, I listened to your music. You wish you sounded like a combination of the RZA and dracula. (I mean, not that there is anything wrong with that, I would be stoked if I sounded like that)

It from awhile ago though. My voice is different. I actually made a thread about my mysterious voice transformation.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I sound like a typical American. I don't have a regional accent, though, it's pretty much impossible to discern where in the USA I come from my vocal inflection. Not once has someone I've talked to said, "oh, you're from [where I'm from], aren't you?"

I usually go by how people say things. I over-use the word "like", people always guess that I'm from So-Cal. If someone uses the word "hella" alot I guess they are from NoCal or the States above California.

I've always wanted a Brooklyn Accent.

'Ouw JOAGHNEHY!'

I've been told by people from America that I have a weird british accent, despite the fact that I've never set foot in the UK.

If TV is anything to go by, Americans have no idea what a "British" accent sounds like. British people on American TV shows are always either posh or a cockney, but also sometimes sound Australian.

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

I sound quite posh with intermittent moments of both Kent and Scouse twang.

...I also inadvertently change my accent slightly to mirror those of people I'm talking to, especially when I'm nervous or it's my first time meeting them :blink:

[The Douche]

Check out this clip, its about the accent people from this island have. The place is kind of close to me, I meet people from there every now and then. The accent is totally unique and the population of the island is miniscule:

[Ravachol]

I have no idea what I sound like to other people but I sure as hell know I hate the sound of my own hoarse, recorded voice. Apparently I do have quite a southern-dutch accent because almost everyone can always tell where i'm from before i've finished my fucking sentence.

[Rugged Collectivist]

It really bothers me that I don't know what type of accent I have. All I know is that I hate my voice. It's really flat and terrible.

[Quail]

My voice sounds okay in my head, but I really hate hearing recordings of myself.

[Igor]

My voice sounds okay in my head, but I really hate hearing recordings of myself.

this seems to be very common actually

like i dont mind my normal voice but really cant stand how i sound like recorded. apparently however though, i sound according to most people almost exactly like my brother who sounds completely normal over the telephone or whatever

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

I can't stand hearing my own voice on recordings.
I sound really bad, I don't know how people can listen to that and all.

[#FF0000]

I basically imagine every british person on the board to have some kind of cockney accent thing. Except for TAT and Sam_b who i imagine to sound posh as heck.

Also I imagine every american female poster looks/sounds like riot grrrl people. (kathleen hanna n corin tucker n carrie brownstein n them)

I also think Rafiq probs sounds v. intense but like a child trying to sound v. intense.

[Blake's Baby]

Obviously, in exactly the same way that every American (except Gore Vidal) sounds like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

I don't think I could even imitate a cockney accent (although I'm not good at putting on accents).
