do a blackboard style word replacement... say 'donkey tits' where it says harry, and 'rick astley' instead of hermione, etc etc

i'll record something if someone gives me something to say! Instructions: Your name and/or username Where you're from The following words: Aunt, Roof, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting Image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught, Orange, Coffee, direction, naturally, aluminium and herbs What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house? What is the bubbly carbonated drink called? What do you call gym shoes? What do you say to address a group of people? What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs? What do you call your grandparents? What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket? What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining? What is the thing you change the TV channel with? Read this passage from The Speech Accent Archive: "Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station." __________ i just stole this from somewhere, i'm not doing this, my voice is horrid

Oh dear, I just tried recording myself saying those things {which is excellent by the way, I'd've felt ridiculous just saying random things to you all with no reason } and I sound so silly! I can't help but talk with quite a 'recieved pronunciation' accent when I know I'm being recorded... I'll try again, without sounding quite so funny. xD

Jay you have a lovely voice! It's lovely and peaceful to listen to, which is nice at half past one in the morning. Also at half past on in the morning I decided I'd record myself since my family are all asleep so nobody would think I'm going crazy... vocaroo.com/?media=vUNN08VCp6lYYFBSrThis makes me want to cringe. I've never really heard my voice recorded before so it's strange, I'm suddenly very aware of how I dropped the 'h' in 'her' {or 'with her from the store'}. Also the fact that I occaisionally drop into a very slight, very bad American accent. {Also I'm sorry it sounds very loud I didn't think to do a test and didn't want to start talking to myself once again once I finished and realised what I'd just done. } ETA: The clicking noise is my mouse and I'm sorry for the random digression about rainbows...

awww u guise. haha. rosie your accent is sooo mancunian, it's adorable. and damien, your accent is this weird combo of irish and english, i love it! it's like you sound very english then suddenly there's a few very irish skewed words in there.

This'll probably sound really silly, but I never realised I had a very mancunian accent! Probably because I'm so used to everybody sounding like I do... or because I sound fairly well-spoken compared to a lot of the people I hear talking round Manchester.

^ Hahaha See I said It's exactly what I mean english/irishy ''really interesting'' Aw shucks I think I have an annoying voice but thanks Yeah Rosie I think you have an obviously Mancunian accent but don't worry it's not as strong or stereotypical as say the cast of Shameless etc

This is great. You have lovely voices! I am obsessed with english accents and I could listen to the audio files for hours. Although I have some difficulties in understanding Rosie Really interesting accent. schizoeclectic your mixture of accents is so amazing. I love the way you speak I wanted to record something this morning but I'm having a sore throat since yesterday evening and my voice sounds just weird and not at all like me. Hope it'll be better in a few days and then you will hear some stupid german accent.
