I am at work and without a sound card but I like the look of the Speech Accent Archive.

N., I salute you.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 10:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Thankyou N, 25 minutes satisfactorily spent.

I exist for your pleasure.

This thread must not die so soon.

The middle classes are spoiling this project - the Brummie one is a disgrace!

I had to close that page before it ate my day.

the people of my nation salute you.

This is fabulous, N. Thanks for the link.

That Brummie one sounded faintly like she had an Aussie twang to her voice. How weird.

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I assume she's of Chinese origin.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I presumed she was originally from Birmingham but has perhaps travelled a bit and picked up bits of accents from all over the world like wot I have done. Maybe the other languages she has listed are her degree ones?

I thought about adding mine to the database, but since I don't have any discernible regional accent, it would be a bit pointless.

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Well yes that is the problem with us poshos.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, it's no problem. I can feign a good "Oim zorry, oim a ztranger ere moizelf" Gloucestershire mangelworzel accent when the need arises.

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

So fake it and send it in.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I am unsuited to dishonesty

The Smith Islanders they taped have spent a bit too much time in Crisfield. Among themselves, the dialect sounds like Cockney Elvis.
