What do you sound like?
Okay...after this weekend, I have had several people comment on my voice. Everyone describe how you sound. Has anyone ever told you that you sound like someone famous?

I've never been told I sound like anyone famous, but all my friends make fun of my "country" accent. I don't notice it at all, but sometimes other people seem to. And on the telephone, I *always* get mistaken for either my mom or my younger sister, because we all sound alike!

Chicago accent? Chicago HAS NO accent!
I have a slight speech impediment, but in reality, it sounds like I have an accent...I've heard people say it sounds like everyplace around the world, but most common is that i'm British...
(atleast i'm not french  )

I am SOUTHERN born and bred.....lol
But I have a nice voice. Babies seem to like it, I guess cause it's so high at times....lol
I don't sound WAY Southern, but I say the words like, ya'll, oil, there, are, fine, hey, hi, and a few select words way too country. Serioulsy, if you have lived in TN most of your life......you end up with an accent.
I answered the phone one day when my roomie's mom called, and her mom said she would never have guessed that I was Korean and it was my first language. Seriously, I have never met another Korean gal with a Southern accent besides me....

I had a linguists professor tell me that I have the most mixed up accent he's ever heard!
Although, I can sing Happy Birthday like Marilyn Monroe!

My friends have told me I have a country-southern accent. I've heard it too.. and sometimes I even call myself on it.. like I'll say "Ohmygosh.. did you just hear how i said that?!" hehehe. I've always talked the way I do, but just recently began "hearing" my accent
edited to include: honeychile: I can sing "Happy Birthday" like Marilyn Monroe to!!!!!!

i've been told I have the Cincinnati "A" in full force, but i never really noticed it until i went to college and most of my friends were from Cleveland, Columbus or Toledo. Now even my family notices it. I guess it just became more pronounced.

My accent is wierd. It's definately a mix of Chicago where I grew up, and then what we call the Arizona mutt accent of valley girl and southern. Some words I say have a decidedly Chicagoan sound to them, and others sound more southen. Wierd.
As for my tone, my voice is in the lower range for females, and I've been told it's very sexy and feminine by many people.

I have been told more times than I can count that I sound like an actress named Joey Adams (?) or something like that. She was in that Adam Sandler movie, "Big Daddy" and she's apparently really little-girly sounding.
When I answer the phone when salespeople call, they always, always ask if they can speak to my mommy
