Hi everyone! This thread idea was born in the Accents thread. The idea is very simple, we'll record ourselves saying this test text:

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.

Then we'll post the audio here, AND, I don't know, probably mock each other or something.
Ok perhaps not, but we could share our observations about each other's accent

What is the sexiest? The most interesting? the more exotic? Who knows.!! There's also the that we probably have an internal "assigned voice" for some gaffers, it would be interesting to hear the real one!

I think I shall begin. I'm from Colombia, but don't expect some Sofia vergara level of butchering lol.I have never ever had to speak english in real life, only to myself, so this should sound lots of funny.

Edit: NEW RULE: DON'T POST YOUR COUNTRY! This is a guessing game now!

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.

I'll make mine soon. This should be interesting.

Origami Superman · Jul 24, 2014

Would be more interesting to not post your country and have people try and guess your accent (provided they play fair and not snoop through post history).

You can participate still. It would be nice to hear the various inflections around the world, it doesn't matter if you don't enter the guessing game.

What a lovely, lovely voice.

The country was easy to guess, but I would never have got the region.

If there was a text-to-speech program that sounded that good, believe me, I'd buy it regardless of price.

Cool guess (I'd be up for a James Bond film or two) but no.

Hopefully being skipped over means I sound boring and not like a lispy trainwreck

Saganator · Jul 24, 2014

Accents are cool and all but I actually find it more interesting how people read the paragraph differently. I'm not going to bother, my accent is non-existent.
