    Why does everyone love my voice ? I keep getting told I sound British, I never realize it tell I looked up the cockney accent. I sound a lot like them. Its funny becuase a lot if people say I have to be a ladies man, but the opposite. Everyone my age hates it and everyobe else loves it. I'm so confused!?!?!

    Did you move from the UK to the USA?
    People get fascinated over accents and some even find it attractive :slight_smile:
    But I don't totally know and understand your background so I can't really answer properly.

    I get that but for a Canadian accent, even though I live in Canada :slight_smile:

    Whenever someone transfers from a different country they generally comment on me sounding Canadian
