Video response it to the above video.

Update: Thanks to some generous members of the community, this contest now also has a Mountain ocarina Set (C and G) and a WPN Double Pendant as additional prizes. So now we have a total of THREE prizes!

Have fun!

I don't really like my accent, but those ocarinas are AWESOME! :jumpy:
Should I go for it and don't care about my accent? :dead:
(Man, it tickled in my stomach when I wrote that!)

Quite possible. Kissing you don't have an accent it's just that everyone else that isn't where you are from has an accent.

Heh... all depends on where you happen to be standing, neh?

*sigh*
Those are some beautiful ocarinas indeed...
Unfortunately, I don't get to spend much time with the ocarina community... so I guess I'll sit this one out.
(Besides, I can't make proper videos anyway... just [poor quality] sound and a slideshow... -_- )

But, good luck to everyone!

I was being facetious. Of course everyone has an accent. There's no such thing as unaccented English. The only languages without accents are those spoken by few people, in a single small isolated region.

Most amazing! Wow, we saw Deepred and she talked! I knew it was Myung as the Stormtrooper! Really great job everyone!

This is an exciting contest! I hope to actually enter this one, but picking a song is going to be tough.

I really like the combination of speech and playing.
I think it will make the playing more meaningful.

I suppose if you traveled enough and spent enough time with people who spoke differently, the accents would all cancel out to give you a neutral one...

And DeepRed, to me at least, your accent sounds more English than Irish, and when asked what day April 27th was, what exactly did you say? I keep missing the first word, so what I can hear ends up as (something) graphic design day

Awesome! Loved the video. I'm running an insane schedule the next 2 months but I'll definitely post if I can.

About accents- I'm from Pennsylvania, born and raised there, but I get told all the time by other Pennsylvanians "You have an accent...is that English/European?" :| ??? Maybe it's because I've lived and served with people from Korea, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand for a couple years, or maybe it's just because I insist on speaking clearly and refuse to say Pittsburgh things like: "I'll see all yins later. I'm gonna warsh my clothes, red up my room, and go dahntahn n the afternahn n get chipped ham n'at."

I'm off to write a little manusscript! :)
Just in case, and so I don't have to film it several times. ;)
I guess I'll have to be honest too! -_-






The last sentence is true! :D
But that was not meant to mean that I usually don't speak truthful! :facepalm:
