my voice

Some how i didn't post this on my blog i posted it on the moodle site my bad.I like most people do not think I have any kind of accent. I do not have a very southern or Northern accent. My family is all from up north in Indiana and they all speak with an accent that makes them sound like they are from the mid-west. Then my family all kind of migrated down to North Carolina. When I say family I mean everyone my grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, and cousins. So I have been raised around a bunch of family that speaks like they are still up there. They say pop for any kind of soft drink and also they call all sodas a coke. So I kind of adopted that and other things like that in my accent when I was younger. Then I realized, as I got older that was not how people in North Carolina spoke and my accent evolved again I tried to pick up many southern terms and ways of speaking. Then Yet again as I began to change my accent to what it is today. I realized that did not have to say Y’all and act southern with every word I spoke. I kind of noticed that when I began to speak with a southern accent my family would began to do things to stop that accent. They would ask me to repeat almost every word I spoke and say that they could not understand me because I was talking to fast or I was mumbling. Which is how my accent was formed it is a kind of combination of a Midwestern and a little southern. That may be why I fell like it goes unnoticed even from me. I like the way that I talk because I feel like I created it. I made my own accent out of an accent I picked up from my family when I was young and an accent I picked up by growing up in the piedmont of North Carolina. Reply
