I was born in Norwich, learned to talk in Bristol, did most of my growing up in Yorkshire, went to university in Norwich, worked in London for a couple of years, fled back home to Yorkshire... so who knows which dialect this may be? I have been told that I have a bit of a Yorkshire 'twang'...

My parents are Lancastrians/Mancunians/a bit Scouse...

But I have no definite claims to any region.

I just tried to post mine but it hasn't shown up, despite me getting a delivery receipt...the problems always seem to show up when mat is fighting the nasty rsi monster.
[edit: it works when I email it!]

This could get quite complicated.

I'd like to hear some US versions.

The site's still rejecting my aif's and wav's, for no good reason that I could see. Otherwise we could all play "guess the region" with my dulcet tones.

Mine's an amr. Whatever one of those is.

Have you tried emailing like Joe?

neel says:

Yeeeeaaaas... although I seem to remember that my attempts to "phone in" soundbits have been sporadically stymied in the past. Gah: something to tackle in the morning, when I should be doing quote real unquote work.

Helen says:

I thought you might have tried that. Oh well.

A US entry, for your listening pleasure (or horror). Also, Neel, I was able to email in a wav with no problem.
