I posted my accent on IDEA;

It's Australia no 22 (the last one)...

Like I said, it's a bit broader than most 22 year old's in the cities (country folk have a stronger accent).

How Aussie does it sound to your ears? Any other comments? English is my only language. I know it could be clearer, i wasn't talking very loud.

Well, it sounds like a Prince--at least to my American ears.

This was an interesting accent because it sounded less strong while reading the passage than while you introduced yourself at the end. At times it sounded american from nebraska and other times it definately sounded australian.

Thanks for commenting...just curious, how does it sound like Nebraska? I consider Aussie and American about as different as you can get speaking the same language.

To an american some of the words don't sound allthat different but some like only in particular have a strong ownly. Sound rather than just only. And perhaps you introducuced yourself in more of a speaking voice tather than a reading voice , it was the reading voice that soundes like a western type accent to me

Very interesting accent. I know some people from Australia and you sound quite different. I can't put my finger on it but your accent has something unique. I think you should be proud of it, it makes you special ;)
