Honestly, my accent (despite being in Cascadia since I was eleven) has a touch of general English-from-elsewhere sound.
I figure if I leave the country on vacation or permanently, it might come in handy?
Basically, don’t fix anything. Join us, we the inappropriate-accent-for-location people.
Yeah, my normal speaking voice doesn't sound like where I'm from in the slightest. I mean not even close. But I don't want to adopt the accent from where I'm from, because I live in another country and noone would understand a word. I have a trans acquaintance who did adopt that accent and it was even weirder than finding out she'd transitioned. She sounds a bit like she's someone's gran who just got done making a large batch of treacle scones and is asking if you want her to fix you a plate of mince and tatties.
Just imagine being a living musical 😂
I wish you good luck finding a reference voice.
Are you doing professional training or logopaedic sessions?
Nope, I plan to listen to my own voice along side a reference voice and making the necessary alterations. My partner is going to be more comfortable with my original voice, but I'll eventually want to have a female voice I can use with the general public.
ug8gh8gh8gh accents are pain
How is the accent situation in Russia? In Britain it's comical, in Scandinavia it's worse. Norwegian as its spoken in the south west would be completely incomprehensible to someone from the north if people didn't just learn the differences and the Danes have to subtitle their own language.
actually idk, basically no true accents
russians have awful english accent aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
