What's a 'platonic English accent'?Do you like your accent? Wish you could change it ?
I am from greater London / Hertfordshire and speak with a pretty platonic English accent I would say ( modern Received Pronunciation) I’ve always thought it was bland but it’s easily understandable and sounds professional.
Started this mainly because I’ve been watching accent videos on YouTube and find it interesting also I have been told I subconsciously switch my voice to a bit more eloquent when speaking to strangers or customers, I’m not sure why could be a nervous thing. Anyone else do that ?
Omg, when I travelled to Scotland with my previous job one of the guys over there would always do Paisley impressions when I spoke and said N.I. people come across "very aggressive" haha.As someone with an NI accent currently living in England, my accent has been described as an “angry man” so sometimes I hate it but mostly I’m okay with it
I love the Northern Irish accent. I used to live there for a bit and now whenever I hear anyone with that accent it reminds me of those days!Northern Ireland accent (not a city specific one, fairly generic) - I don't like it at all. I think our accents tend to be quite harsh sounding. I'd love a slightly more southern Irish sounding one.
I love the Manchester accent!I have a thick Manchester accent (born amd raised in central Manchester) and hate it. I sound so chavvy yet I am a professional and absolutely not a chav. I notice some people that I follow on sm from school now have a fake cheshire accent and sound much posher. I wouldn't do that as I'm proud of my roots and I don't want to put on a fake accent but I don't like my accent.
Duck ayup and orate here tooI don’t hate my accent but a lot of people point it out to me. I’m from Stoke and so people pick up on the little ways I say things like look and book. We also say things like duck, shug, conna and ayup orate! Which can be like a different language! I don’t hate my accent but I think it sounds kind of funny at times. But I love it at work when I hear another Stokie- makes me feel comfy and at home. If I could chose an accent to have it would probably be Southern Ireland or some sort of Italian accent I think. I wouldn’t chose Stokie!!
