Yes, I love to do different accents when I am at home. My favorite one is a Minnesota accent, "don't cha know". Some of my other fun accents are, British, Australian, Jamaican, Swedish, and Southern U.S. accents. There are so many different accents in the United States because people from many different countries immigrated here. London is the same way we are. They have so many different accents that the people don't even sound like they came from the same country. Some accents in England are very difficult to understand. The differences in accents are do to immigration and different regions develop their own particular way of saying things. West Virginia has many different accents. Some people in West Virginia sound like they come from the deep south, and then others hardly have any accent at all. Some famous people with accents are Hugh Lurie, Pierce Brosnan, Christian Bale, and Nicole Kidman. These are some of the many well-known actors with accents.

I had a bit of an accent for a while but I worked really hard and got rid of it, but at home I talk like I used to. Accents can come from anywhere, two towns that are next to eachother can have different accents. They come from places, and people. For example, I was born here in West Virginia, grew up in Oregon, but while I was learning to talk I was in New Jersey. Naturally I have a Jersey accent even though I was only there for a year or two. Tons of people have accents, even famous people.

I do love to play around with accents and stuff while I'm at home. Southern U.S. and Jamaican are my favorites to do, but I'm best at Cockney. Cockney was the form of dialect that was used in London and other parts of England in the 1800's. Usually it was used in the poorer areas, but some other areas had the same dialect. I know so much about this because since I do theater, we work a lot on accents and for at least two of the shows I've done, I've had to use cockney. To speak this way, you have to center your voice in to the front of your throat and push it up to your nose so it sounds nasally, and then elongate the vowel sounds. West Virginia has a few different accents. I've you've ever met people that live down in Greenbrier County, they sound more like they were born in Texas. And people that live in the Northern Panhandle sound more like they were born in the New England States. Yes, many people have accents. Hugh Laurie, Nicole Kidman, and Pierce Brosnan are some examples.

No not really some people say I have a southern accent. I really cant tell if I do or not, but if I do I guess I have little bit of an accent. There are so many different accents in the US because there came here in the earlier days from all over the world. Some accents come from London, Sweden, Australia, and many more. West Virginia has many different accents, you have Italian, Chiense, Japiense, and Southern accents.There are a lot of famous actors and actress that have accents. Ozzy, Grechen Wilson, Slash from Guns and Roses, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Jackie Chan, Chris Rock, and many more. I dont think u want me to name all of them that I know.

I unfortunately cannot do ANY accents whatsoever. But since I live in West Virginia I have the natural "hick" accent.

The reason that there are so many accents from the USA is because of the immigration. Everyone who lives here is most likely not from the original country from way back when. Everyone has their own accents, and it varies from the different regions of the United States. These accents come from all over the world. Probably the most common accents are British and Australian.

West Virginia does have a large variety of accents because of people who are isolated in the mountains. They develop a new way of talking and since they are not around other people, they do not have a way to change it.

Many famous people have accents. It's what makes their acting even better.

Accents are fun to play around with everywhere. Most the time I do accents at school because that’s where a do most of my talking.
I also have one natural accent, if you did not know I was born in Kentucky and live there for three years. This is where I learned to talk so sometimes you can hear my little western accent. But aside from that I enjoy practicing a British and Caribbean accent more than all. I love Caribbean Reggae music ex: Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffet. As far as my British accents go I mainly talk with it at grants house. At one point I annoyed his older brother so much he locked me outside until I swore to stop. There are so many accents in the U.S. because people from all countries migrated here long ago and still do today.
West Virginians have the stereotype of being rednecks but I really don’t notice the accents of WV until I go somewhere like Disney World or back to Cincinnati where I was born. Some famous people with accents are Wes Ashcraft, David Beckham, Ozzy Osborne, Dirk Nowitzki, Sting, Bob Marley, and Freddy Mercury.

Nick Sinclair said...

I like to do accents. I try to copy my friend's dad, Dr. Jain, who is from India. Many people came from all over the world to live in the US and brought their accents from their own language. This would be the same for London. West Virginians do have accents. People from other parts of WV sound different from each other. Famous people with accents are Chef Ramsey, Jackie Chan, Paula Dean, and Daniel Radcliff.

I don’t know if I have an accent, but it seems like till you go on vacation. People come up to you and ask where you are from and they are amazed that I live in West Virginia. There are so many accents in USA from the result of when the US was first being developed. People came in to claim land and build a state with their accents. These accents come from all over the world. I don’t think that West Virginia has that many accents. There are many famous people who have accents.

No, I'm not very good at accents. Although sometimes people have asked me if I come from Brooklyn, New York. I don't think I have an accent but noone really can tell if they have an accent or not.

No I don't do accents. The way there can be so many accents in the U.S. is because you have so many different cultures and you also have different groups of people. These accents come from places like Japan, China, Texas, and Asia. Yes West Virginia has some accents like the people that lived closer to the south. Those people that closer to the south seem to have like a hick accent. Yes famous people do have accents like Chad Reed a professional super cross dirt bike rider has like an Asian accent.

akeefover said...

No, unfortunately I can not do any accents, although I try. " 'Ello govner! " That is about as well as I can do an accent. I think there are so many accents in the USA because of all of the different cultures that co-exist in the USA. Both The USA and London have a high number of immigrants which account for the different accents. Yes, I believe West Virginia has different accents. People who live in southern West Virginia tend to have a deeper southern accent than those of us who live in Northcentral WV. Some of my favorite famous people who have accents include: Heath Ledger (RIP), Natasha Bettingfield, Simon Cowell, Sean Connery, Miley Cyrus, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Ozzy Osbourne, Penelope Cruz, and Robert Pattinson.

Really i don't know if i have an accent or not i'm not all that sure but there is alot of people in our school that have an accent.I think people have accents because that is where that form of language started from is in different regions of the world.

No, I am not very good at attempting accents. I have a friend that can do a lot of accents. She is really good at attempting a British accent, and a Jamaican accent. There are so many different accents in the USA because many people from different countries immigrated here. The accents come from different languages. When someone from another country and customs learn English they have a way of saying the words but they probably think that they have an accent but you can tell. West Virginia does have different accents because there are people from other places with different accents that move here. I know some people that have a southern accent. Yes, there are famous people that have accents. I only know three. Natasha Bedingfeild, Kate Winslet , and Elizabeth Taylor.

No, unfortunately I don’t do any accents, but Sam and Alec are definitely good at them. There are so many accents around the United States because during the Industrial Revolution thousand of people from several different countries came to America. This is also how the US became known as the melting pot. Accents are the way a group of people or culture talks. Some accents come from different languages and other come for widespread travel and learning other cultures. Yes, West Virginia does have different accents; West Virginia is the most southern of the states, the most northern, the most eastern, and the most western. So if we are all those things, shouldn’t we have a very wide variety of accents. David Beckman, a famous soccer player, came here from England and probably has an English accent.

Of course I do accents! I love talking the British accent from London. It is so much fun. I also talk Texas accent (mainly because I am from Oklahoma) and everybody says I have a West Virginian Accent as well. I can talk like I am from Brooklyn and I know that my dad can talk like he is scottish.

I think there are many accents from the USA because there are so many different varieties of people and the words they use. It could also depend on how they grew up. Since there are so many words and so many different pronunciations, it also makes English the hardest language to learn in the WORLD... Though English may be hardest, Spanish is the most widely spoken language in the World. London has many different accents for much the same reasons. Many different varieties of people and many different places they come from bringing in new accents and new words.


I think West Virginia does have its own accent. It sounds sort of similar to a Texas accent though maybe not quite as strong. My friend's dad thinks our accents are amusing and fun to listen to. He thinks that they way we talk and pronounce words is fascinating. (He is from Brooklyn.) So I guess, that West Virginia does have its own little accent. =]

I know famous people have accents and I know some of them learn to talk like that for movies. Back in the 1940's the movie stars were trained to have specific accents to make their voices prim and proper. I find them quite funny to listen to. They pronounce every sound and syllable in a word. A take their time in speaking. So that every person can hear their words clearly and without having to guess what they are saying.

Yes, I sometimes like to do different accents when I am at my house. But I won’t do them around any of my friends. My favorite one is and Australian accent, I like the way it sounds. I wish that I could talk like that permanently. Some of the other ones that I like are British, Jamaican, and Swedish. I think they both sound funny, but I like the way it sounds. English people are very hard to understand. West Virginia has a lot of different accents. That is just about all I know about accents, I am not very smart.

Yes, I have an accent to other people I mean that by they think I have an accent but I can not really tell that I have an accent. There can be lots of accents from USA by other people coming from other countries or just to visit. There can be accents from London because they have a strong accent that you can really tell they have an accent. Famous people have accents because they live in certain places which might have a certain accent in that area where they live. So the stars and famous people can or can not have an accent in certain places.

No actually I don't do any accents, I just don't think that has anythng to do with life and it's not something you need to learn. I do think that accents are from your suroundings. If you hang down in the country you will start to sound like a hick. Yes i think that celebrities have accents, it's like their "title".

I can do some accents but not many. I can do English, Irish German, southern United States, Texan, Australian, and kind of a Mexican accent. I think that the way the US accents are possible is the pace of life in that area. For example, down south, it is a slower pace as far as cities go and small towns so people talk slower. However, in the north, such as New York or Pittsburg, it is a faster pace so people talk faster. West Virginia is the same way. The farther north in the state you go, the faster people talk. The farther south you go, the slower people talk.

Many celebrities have accents. For example, Steve Irwen, Tim Mcgraw, Billy Ray Cirus, and the most famous is Arnold Swartzaneger.

Yes I do a lot of accents, I do an African, a French, a British, and an Indian accent. There are so many accents because many people move to the U.S. from there countries and they come from other languages and how they pronounce different letters. I'd say West Virginia has different accents some speak southern and there are a lot of Italians in Fairmont so some have Italian accents. Also many famous people have accents like Jackie Chan, Natasha Bedingfeild, and Ozzy Osbourne

Oh yes It’s the king speaking... I do so many accents I can’t remember some of them, British, girly, Italian, Irish, and so forth. I personally have an accent, one from West Virginia and I don’t know exactly where it comes from. Everyone makes fun of me for it and try’s to imitate it, but only I can do it ha-ha. West Virginia is famous for having accents like the hillbilly or redneck voice. People like Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, and David Ortiz.

Yes...and no,I can do accents. I can do any accent I want,but doing a good accent, that's another story.I can talk with a British accent,an Indian accent and I could probally manage a Brooklyn accent.I think there are so many accent throughout the world, or maybe just from the USA because people move from area to area.Accents come from people who speak a different language trying to adjust to another language.West Virginia has many accents withing it. The southern part of West Virginia has a very quick accent with a Southern draw. When I went to Washington, D.C. I met people from all over the country and each person had their own accent. My roomate from Texas said even I had an accent.Kieth Urban is a famous person with an Australian accent.

In the USA there are many accents, because of all of the races in the USA. I don't really know about the accents in London, but it's probably because of the same reason that the US has. These accents come from all around the world, and they travel everywhere. Some West Virginians have an accent. Around WV, every accent is pretty much the same. A lot a famous people have accents because of their ethnicity.

I play around with different accents. I do southern accents and British accents. I learned my british accent from watching Madeline. I watched Madeline so much when I was little. When I had tea party's, I would always talk with a british accent. I learned my southern accent because of the country music I listen to, growing up with southern cousins, and traveling to the south a lot as a toddler. Accents come from the way people talk and the type of language they speak. In the southern part of West Virginia they have very strong southern accents. Miley Cyrus has a southern accent.

No I dont do any accents some of those accents come from bieng around people that use those accents all of the time.West Virginians have the stereotype of being rednecks but I really don’t notice the accents of WV until I go somewhere else and ask u were u came from.They’re so many accents in the United States because people immigrated from other countries. Some accents in England are very difficult to understand. The differences in accents are do to migration and different regions develop their own particular way of saying things.These accents come from places like Japan, China, Texas, and Asia.Some accents in England are very difficult to understand. The differences in accents are do to different regions. wesley haddix 1st and 2nd

I love talking with an accent, I can do so many. Every person has an accent you just do not notice it. So many people, so many accents. There are so many different areas in one place they all have different accents. Accents come from growing up with people around you having accents. In student council you meet so many different people from West Virginia it is cool to see how some have accents and some really do not. Penelope Cruz has a very strong accent.

I used to have an Australian and British accent, but I grew out of it. Accents come to the United States by tourism and foreign immigrants coming to the country. West Virginia has many accents. Most of them are southern. There are many famous people who have differant accents such as Jackie Chan, David Bowie, Cote de Pablo, and many others.

Accents are fun to play around with everywhere. Most the time I do accents at school because that’s where a do most of my talking.
I also have one natural accent, if you did not know I was born in Kentucky and live there for three years. This is where I learned to talk so sometimes you can hear my little western accent. But aside from that I enjoy practicing a British and Caribbean accent more than all. I love Caribbean Reggae music ex: Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffet. As far as my British accents go I mainly talk with it at grants house.

Haha I love your first line. I am definitely lacking in the area of accents. I simply do not own that skill. If I try to do an accent, yes people laugh...but not with me! Accents get carried over from place to place through travelers and immigrants. I honestly can't tell that West Virginians talk in a "hickish" way. My theory is this: West Virginia is the only state in the world that has people that talk normal. It's as simple as that! Some famous people that have accents include Ozzy Osborne and Adam Sandler. The only time that I notice I have an accent is when I hear a recording of myself. I sound like a total goober!!!

I used to have a Spanish accent, but living here in america for so long has changed that... Because, America is a place where anyone, from any country can immigrate, thus creating many series of accents right here in America. People can move to london as well as america. These accents come from many different countries and states that different people live in with different accents. Yes, West Virginia is a free state also, so anybody can move here with accents. Yes, many celebrities have many different accents.

no not really. umm there are differt places around the usa. no ones sounds the same. yes i think wv has a very strong one!

No, I am not very good at attempting accents. I have a friend that can do a lot of accents. She is really good at attempting a British accent, and a Jamaican accent. There are so many different accents in the USA because many people from different countries immigrated here. The accents come from different languages. When someone from another country and customs learn English they have a way of saying the words but they probably think that they have an accent but you can tell. West Virginia does have different accents because there are people from other places with different accents that move here. I know some people that have a southern accent. Yes, there are famous people that have accents. I only know three. Natasha Bedingfeild, Kate Winslet , and Elizabeth Taylor.

Bobbi said...

There are so many accents in the USA becuause there are many sterio types in the USA, there are also many accencts becuae there are many people who have imigrated from another country. some people from west virginia have accents, I think people more from the southern part of the state have accents. Yes, there are quite a few, such as Natasha Bedingfield, and Ozzy Osbourne.

Andrew said...

No, I do not have any accents. There are are many different accents in the USA because people from other countries immigrated here and picked up the English language in their own interpertations. People already living in that area will eventualty pick up on the dialect. The crocodile hunter and Miley Cyrus are some examples of famous people with accents.

Unknown said...

I only do english. Because many people have migrated to the United states and have brought many different accents with them. These accents come from all over. Allot of famous people have accents.

aaron worth said...

Yes, I do have different accents but I only use them when I’m at home or when I’m with friends. The USA has so many accents because of where the people came to the United States. People from Africa, Asia, China, Korea, Japan, the Middle East, and Europe came to America. I’m sure London has people from all over the world as well. This would mean they will also have many different accents. Of course West Virginia has accents. We have the industrialized people who moved here from different states, we have the northern people, and the southern people. A lot of famous people have accents, I don’t know exactly who but I know a lot of them have accents because they must play different roles in movies.

I have a really light Boston accent...I can't pronounce words like, car, vineyard, hard, and Harvard. I say Caa,vinyed, haad, and Haavaad. All thanks to my grandma. Many immagrants could have shared their accents, or people who were born to immigrants could have gotten their accents. Yes we do. Some people have southern accents, and some have northern accents. Arnold Schwarzanegger and Silvester Stalone both have the thickest accents in Hollywood.

I think West Virginia does have its own accent. It sounds sort of similar to a Texas accent though maybe not quite as strong.
