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

Is that even possible?

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. ubizmo |

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. |

Brought to you by the sweet taste of fresh milk.

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 Edited by shirf02, Mar 27 2009, 11:32 AM.

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! But that was not meant to mean that I usually don't speak truthful!
