Haha, I have the best accent of you all!!!!! Only a few of you here have heard my accent...and no, I DO NOT sound like an Australian, I sound like a New Zealander  :twisted:

My dilemma is that I don't really have one. I was born and raised in New
Zealand so I should have a Kiwi accent like Jen, but my parents are both
from elsewhere (Bermuda & Canada) so I never developed  a Kiwi one. I
only notice a slight 'Kiwiness' about it when listening to recordings of my
voice like on an answering machine. Having a proper accent would be  8)

I love the Kiwi accent.  It sounds a little closer to some British accents than do most Australian.  It makes me wonder what part of Britain most of them descend from.  But I used to be able to mimic it fairly well, but it's degraded some since I don't talk to Jen every day like I used to.  She always found an Australian accent to be extremely noxious, and I also used to get a kick out of throwing one at her on occasion. :D

Yeah I guess I do because people from another state came and visited at my house and they just exclaimed how much stronger my accent was in comparison to my sister's. The spoke perfectly normal to me.

I learned English as my primary language of course. Growing up I learned Spanish, seeing that my family is from Mexico, and than now that I am in High School I am in my 3rd year of French, going on my 4th with AP. So I have this big eclectic mix of languages and so, in turn, I don't have an ac cent.

I am sure I talk differently from people like say in Utah? because different regions but who knows.

Current takes me out, what will be, will be. Floating on the sea, stars are watching me.

I'm pretty sure everyone would technically have an accent.
I have a sort of Australian one, but it's only really obvious if I say words like "Australia" or use aussie slang.

People say I sound like I have a Minnesota or Wisconsin accent.  The problem is I've never lived there!

I think I have a Nevadan accent, maybe it's just deranged.  I grew up in a lot of places, so maybe it's a combination of all those influences with the end result being centered on Wisconsin.

I don't watch "The 70's Show" so it can't be that. ;)

This is a very interesting topic! I like it. It helps me learn where many Vanessa fans come from.
Well, I guess I have a Californian accent.  ;)
I have a really cool The Fray gif that I would like to put here, but I don't know how. :(

FUNNY topic. hehe. I got a few laughs.
What is a Kiwi accent?
I think we all have accents, like someone said, it's just about who you are around.
There is a new girl at work who game from Illinois and she laughed at me when I said "Dallas" because I said it "funny" but I honestly don't know what was funny, it sounded normal to me! (and I was offened because you don't laugh at others, just acknowledge a difference).  Besides, SHE came HERE so SHE has the accent. LoL

Kiwi refers to people from New Zealand. Though I'm at a loss for what a "Kiwi accent" may sound like.
