As for the voice imitation, I really don't know what to say about it. Perhaps you could tell me what you think?


But that's what I've been trying to do in three posts already!

It's a pity that they don't have the UP accent on that thing.

Interesting link, Conchita. It was entertaining to listen to the guy doing the Boston accents. Though the guy approximates the some of the sounds pretty well, Bostonians would identify him as non-native in a New York minute. I was disappointed that he didn't attempt a "Philadelphia sound". But maybe it's just as well he didn't. :lol:

Accent Bothers You? #54 (permalink) Thu Dec 04, 2008 20:12 pm   Accent Bothers You?
 

It depends..

If your accent doesn't sound good for better communication it would definitely embarrass you...

If your accent and communication sounds good and when you become cynosure of all eyes, then it will earn you respect and authority.

Accent reduction and speaking neutral accent would ease bussiness communication.
