I live in Norfolk so Oi speak bootiful English moy man........:)
Not really - slightly posh sarf Lunden is me0 -
I've been told I talk like Ray Winstone. Which is bollocks, because he's from East London, whereas I'm Sarf East born and bred. Admittedly though, I do sound like a commoner when I talk - and I cannot moderate my speech for love nor money - it just feels 'wrong' when I try and pronounce things properly.
I'd like to think the prejudices against accents are dying out, but I've had more than one person tell me a variation of 'I used to think you were thick' when they've got to know me.
Ah well. There are worse things. For instance, I could be thought of as a patronising, condescending prick. Oh, wait...4 -
As for others.
Oggy Red - "my luvly"
Ormiston - "he's fair dinkum"
Henry - "RADA posh"
Goonerhater - "diabolical liberty"0 -

Not how I thought you'd sound at all. I had you down as a Reigate Café Rouge frequenter.Leroy Ambrose said:I've been told I talk like Ray Winstone.

I lived in Reigate for 18 wonderful months. It didn't know what had hit it. When I moved back to Croydon the town of Reigate threw a party.1

Feck me Bing, you've spoken to me! ; - )
Enough people have met me or heard me speak at meetings etc but while I'm obviously articulate and funny Henry Irving is not my real name so I don't actually sound like a Victorian actor.2 -
I'm similar to Leroy. My accent is my accent and although I work hard to consciously be aware of avoiding using terms like 'ain't', I slip into the aforementioned 'sarf London'Leroy Ambrose said:I've been told I talk like Ray Winstone.

I reckon it is a bit of a disadvantage with my job as I work in sales, and the people I sell to are often well spoken, with neutral accents. The slips often lessen my gravitas I feel. Sometimes I think it is better to play it up, but then I'm not so sure.
I also think it was/would have been an issue when I did my LPC and having interviews for training contracts. That is definitely an industry that needs a certain approach and a way of communication. It's always difficult because I don't want people to think I have a 'chip on my shoulder' as they say, as I know people from all backgrounds work hard and succeed where I had not. However, I still think in general people do judge you and can react to your accent. Just my thoughts.0 -
I've been told I sound like a cross between Danny Baker and Dennis Waterman.0

It is an interesting experiment to tape yourself speaking and then listen to your voice played back. Most people say 'that doesn't sound like me' because the sound they hear is filtered through their skull whereas everyone else hears something different. I speak in a beautiful modulated and pleasing tone but unfortunately the bloody tape machine distorts it...2

I think I've got a neutral southern accent, but I'm told I sound like a cross between Jack Dee and Angus Deayton.0

From his colourful, descriptive prose I imagine that Viewfinder speaks like Brian Sewell.
