I really sound like this:

Just a bit deeper.

Lmao, the Sydney one sounds like a gay man! Don't sound like any of the Australian ones really.

Edit: What a let down no Cockney accent.

Yeah Rythmic, don't you think the Melbourne and Brisbane ones sound mroe "normal"?

**naut** · 06-19-2007, 08:57

Yeah, it's closer but still not quite right. I hate the Brisbane one, it's so vulgar, when a girl sounds like that it really puts me off.

Impressive site... though if they were to include all the British accents in Britain alone, there wouldn't be space for the flags :P

It's a matter of perfection and originality for me, but that doesn't mean I speak english like an englishman either.
