I was just thinking about how strange it is that fantasy and historical figures in US media almost always speak with an English accent. For once, I'd like to hear elves that sound like they're from New Jersey.

Also for my British friends, is it weird that wizards and Julius Caesar just sound a bit posh?

The secret to the perfect #australian #accent is to take words with 'Long-A' sounds and substitute them with 'Long-I' sounds. For example:

Day -> Dye
Hate -> Hite
Tomato -> Tom-eye-to
Gatorade -> Guy-torade
Complaint -> Compl-eye-nt

You throw in a couple of aussie-drawl 'Yeea mite' s in there with the above, and people will swear you're from The Gold Coast.

"There are dozens of imitators, but none of them has really caught my sound."

Werner Herzog on his voice and accent, in "Every Man for Himself and God Against All: A Memoir"

unrleated but a friend asked how I pronounce the word "poem".

MEMORY UNLOCKED.

I was LIVID with a study workbook in Japan (so 6 to 10 y.o., which was 2nd or 3rd to 5th grade for me).

Fucking thing dinged me for saying "fire" was TWO syllables.

Because it IS!
If "fire" was ONE syllable, it would be "Far", a different fuckign word.

"Fai yer" or "fie err".

« Accent du Sud, alsacien ou guadeloupéen : les blagues et imitations cassent souvent du sucre sur le dos des intonations qui rythment la langue française. Mais derrière les calembours se cache une forme de discrimination, héritée d’une histoire coupable d’avoir voulu gommer les identités régionales. »

Avec le linguiste Philippe Blanchet, à partir de la 14e minute.

Fun fact:

In our local Essex accent, source typically sounds like sauce.

So open source sounds like open sauce.

Might do an audio clip of it at some point.
