    Alright, I'm bringing this back! This is the new installment of The Accent Challenge. (I'll upload mine when I'm out of classes for the day.)

    Hey, and welcome to the accent challenge! So, all you gotta do is record yourself saying these words and answering these questions:

    - Theatre
    - Iron
    - Salmon
    - Caramel
    - Fire
    - Water
    - New Orleans
    - Furniture
    - Both
    - Again
    - Probably
    - Alabama
    - Lawyer
    - Coupon
    - Mayonnaise
    - Caught
    - Naturally
    - Envelope
    - Twitter
    - New York
    - Crayon
    - Tumblr

    How would you address a group of two or more people?
    What would you call a sale of unwanted items on your porch, in your yard, etc.?
    What do you call a sweetened carbonated beverage?
    What do you call your grandparents?
    What do you call gym shoes?
    Choose book and read a paragraph from it.

    Post your recording with Vocaroo, (the link to the site can be found here) and feel free to discuss all you want.

    Have fun ;w;

    Quick question! Do we have to answer those questions with words from our language, or do we need to answer using English words only?

    You answer them in English, for the most part. I think 1 or 2 questions (like the one about grandparents) would be in your own language, if applicable.
    The point of this challenge is to see how everyone pronounces each word differently, and the bottom part is to see what different words we use to describe each item.

    If I can get my good mic to work on my laptop, I'll participate. :P I'd do it with the internal mic but the sound quality is a piece of shit.

    Here's mine. Sorry if I sound bored, it's hard to get hyped up when I'm sitting alone in my room talking at a tablet, and otherwise my caffeine high died down hours ago.

    Edit: I re-recorded this. I'm feeling better than yesterday, and I think the result shows it. On top of that I got kind of conversational in there, so there might be some more candor in what it's like to speak with me and how my particular American accent sounds. Here it is.

    Alright, I did the thing! People, admire my *cough* beautiful *cough* Dutch accent!
    Please ignore the background noise, this computer is located downstairs, my parents and my brother are watching TV right now and they were talking to each other too.

    Forgot to upload it yesterday, but here it is.
    Sorry about the annoying background noise, I had my fan on near me and forgot to turn it off beforehand (so make sure to turn down the volume).
    I'm also a little sick and stuttered while reading the paragraph, but oh well. :P

    @[member="Blast"], your turn.

    Here is my voice recording! My voice isn't accurate here as I am sick. (Also, my voice is MUCH lighter in reality) Please don't judge me!

    My recording.

    Heh! This is mine now! Don't judge my voice.. I got a little nervous! Oh, and I have an added message for @Sanctury at the end if you don't mind...

    Lugia's recording!

    I was bored so I figured wynaut. Make sure you have your volume turned low because it will make your ears bleed. I'm sorry vocaroo doesn't like my laptop and the quality is poo.

    Also for some reason the sound quality got even worse when I read the paragraph portion, so yeah... sorry about that in advance... x-X

    I tried recording this two times before this but it kept cutting off, so I skipped to the paragraph lol.

    Damn. Your voice is deeper than I thought.

    Here is my entry. It's very long, but that's because mega wanted me to read my entire poem so here. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0gmU4NCecdc

    Stats can only go up to +6, you know. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about >_> Also I don't let me dreams be dreams which means that in reality my voice is still sexier.
