But I think I'm too self-conscious about my voice and my accent (now more than ever) to do it myself.
Come on. Cooooooommmmee ooooooonnnnnn! What is there to be self-conscious about? Please?




Okay, actually, I realize I might be putting pressure on people who really don't want to. Sorry if that's the case. But if you don't want to because you think we won't like it, consider that you might be mistaken. That's all I want to get across.

I love your voice as well, is that a hint of Received Pronunciation I hear? Very crisp and satisfying.
I just had to go google Received Pronunciation haha. I don't know how I ended up with this voice. I am from Yorkshire and have never lived anywhere other than the north and don't sound remotely northern. My family all have very Yorkshire accents. I'm obviously a changeling or something!

Ummmm... You've got to be kidding! I get self conscious talking to people I know really well. There's no way I'd have the guts to do this. Besides, my voice is hideous, I sound like the Queen *hysterical
You can read us a poem! A story! Tell the dogs to bark and we'll hear you then you can complain that they're uncooperative little shits. You can do it!

You're right that you don't sound like you're from Yorkshire (that's where my parents' terriers are from!), lol, you have an accent I associate with BBC news anchors and Emma Watson, which is apparently called RP (had to look it up myself). It's nice, clear and crisp, it sounds the way an apple tastes, if I can get that metaphorical about it without sounding weird.

@Auri And also yours. You know you wanna do this. Tell us a story.
You're not wrong, I don't like not taking part of a challenge :P Speaking is just what I'm least good at, it's my kryptonite. You know that, haha.

Perfectionism? Not a native speaker, generally a bad speaker, even worse "actress", so telling a story without sounding monotonous is practically impossible. lol

An idea maybe; say something in your actual language and post a translation here.

Or don't, if you don't want to, like I said above. I'm just really enjoying this and selfishly putting my wants ahead of everyone else's, lol.
