    Found via (VEDIAB 22) - The Accent Challenge - YouTube and Hollie Bilham - Accent Challenge - YouTube some accent challenge thing where you say words.
    I think people on here should give it a try :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    Here are the instructions for your audio clip:
    Pronounce the following words: Aunt, Roof, Route, Theatre, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Pyjamas, Caught, Naturally, Aluminium, GIF, Tumblr, Crackerjack, Doorknob, Envelope, GPOY.
    What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
    What is a bubbly carbonated drink called?
    What do you call gym shoes?
    What do you call your grandparents?
    What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
    What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
    Choose a book and read a passage from it.
    Do you think you have an accent?
    Do you know anyone on EC in real life? (Maybe a lot of people won't want to answer this one that's ok)
    End audio post by saying any THREE words you want
    I shall be uploading one soon :3

    To upload a voice clip, Go Advanced with your post. In the top row of icons, there is a paperclip; click on it. You can then upload an MP3 file from your computer. I havent got a good place to record anythung, though.

    *shrug* I got bored. xD

    Fear the evil voice. ._. I despise my voice, rofl. Though, if you wouldn't after being called Ma'am or *insert girls name* every day while answering phones, then I want to know your secret. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I apologize if I speak too fast. xD I often speed up my talking without noticing. I often get asked to repeat myself, lol.

    Wow, some of your responses to the questions were uncannily similar to mine :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    How do you drop the bit rate of an mp3? I have no idea how to do this D:
    Also, thrust? Such fun!
