Changing your accent.

[Guest Amberley_Vail]

Ive noticed that I seem to be able to present a female voice a lot easier if I affect an accent, most notably with an Australian one.

Has anyone else experienced this, or has anyone changed their accent to allow an easier voice transition?

Maybe they used australian horses to make your estro?

I find them a little upside down but very attractive.

I find that when I am trying to get a fem voice there is a bit of brit that creeps in. Not much, almost like someone who spent a lot of time there but wasn't born there... If you get what I mean. I may try slipping some aussie in and see if that makes it easier.

I would be happy with a neutral accent... I can stand my southern drawl, funny thing is I cant even hear it unless I record myself and play it back, then it sounds completely different. And everyone tells me I have a strong southern accent... sigh

You must be from the panhandle or the northern part. The southern part of Florida sounds like Michigan...

Im kinda from all over, my dad is actually from Mississippi and my mom and most of my extended family are from central FL... their accent's are way stronger but mine is still there. It doesn't bother me when other people have one, in fact I kinda like it, it makes me feel comfortable, but for some reason I just can't stand it from my voice

... funny thing is, my stepdad who has been basically my only dad since I was about 12 and who I live with currently.... is from Michigan lol

Tim Wilson does a bit on Southern Accents, you ought to look it up on YouTube. I think you would love it.

I wish I could record myself >.> I feel that using another accent does help with making a voice more feminine or masculine (I've tried both ). Of course, since I cannot hear myself from the perspective of somebody else, I could be completely wrong.

When I'm being silly with my friends (like when I'm answering the phone), I'll exaggerate a southern accent.

..and when I'm up in WI, my WI accent suddenly creeps back in.

I've always found it's easier to sound feminine in an American accent (the one I can do is apparently a valley girl accent). My broad Yorkshire accent is a lot more difficult, with all the flat vowels and Northern huskiness, so I tend to tone it down a bit when I'm trying to speak feminine. Hopefully I won't lose it forever though! D:

[Guest N. Jane]

Growing up in Ontario (Canada) the family next door was from South Carolina and had a daughter my age who was my most frequent playmate, real Southern Belles, and by the time I started school, I had the accent REALLY strongly. My Southern voice is STILL my most sexy and feminine after 60 years and comes back in a heartbeat!

[Guest So-kool]

I have a heavy New York accent and mannerisms

"Yaknowad Im takinbout?" Lol To make matters worse, I live in the South (Georgia, USA )

A New York accent is robably the least feminine of any accent I can think of.

When I use my fem voice I try to stay at a neutral accent but as I become more relaxed it reverts back

to the "tough chick" sound ! "Aaaay, Forgetaboudit" ! Lol

Still trying to overcome this Challenge but hey, considering how far I have come, I don't mind the fine tuning involved.

[Guest Gwendolyn Elizabeth]

I found that turning up my southern (us) accent helped a lot with my inflection. My normal speech is mild southern with a touch of valley girl mixed it.

But oddly enough I found that going to a female voice has made it harder to do other accents. I am going to have to relearn that.

[Guest princessofdarkness]

My accent as it is now is a looney American accent, more stiff and standard when talking to those I'm not comfortable with, my dad says I take on Brooklyn accent when I get angry and shout (not common these days), probably born out of watching angry Brooklynites in movies, when I talk pro wrestling or watch it and do my own running commentary, people have told me I take on a bit of a Southern accent, probably born out of my childhood attempts to mimic the commentators, and I might take on a English accent if I talk to any Brits (always embarrassing, they may think I'm making fun, I swear I'm not). None of this I'm aware of until people tell me.

But that's my life as a male. To consciously take on a more feminine voice (I haven't begun transition) will probably kill any accents in me, at least until I become more comfortable with it. Then once I'm comfortable, I could possibly return to my nonsensical accent hopping.
