So, last week my public speaking teacher verified that I have an accent. (He said it was "well pronounced.")

Having been home-schooled most of my K-12 life, and sort of reclusive since I started Community college classes back in high school, I've actually only been told this once before. (Back in 8th grade, by a random classmate.) Of course... the fact that I'm reclusive like this is probably the reason I have it in the first place.

Of course, I've had a slight hunch about it all these years. It's probably one of the reasons I shy away from microphones and telephones, explains people asking "are you from New York?", and also why people usually go "Huh? I didn't hear you."

I guess now I should decide if I want to visit a speech therapist or not.

I might post a sound file of me later, if anyone cares. (Though I still feel that my crappy mic is at least partially to blame.)

217 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-28 17:33 ID:8DJyvqd7

I wouldn't worry about an accent, >>216 . I have a southern accent thick enough you could spread it on toast, but it doesn't bother me. I actually think it's kind of charming, really. Maybe I'm wrong?

218 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-30 01:03 ID:JN/qVlI1

People visit speech therapists because they have accents in the US?
That's just wrong. >>217 has the right idea!

219 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-12-03 21:30 ID:b0GT9LwD

I think us people most Europe generally would recommend any american to see an english speech therapist.

An accent is cool. However, if your teacher tried to avoid saying that you talk incomprehensible, you might want to try correcting this 'accent.' Of course I don't know what it is in your case.

If you consider speech therapy, first consider its effectiveness and how much you could do to fix it on your own.

On a lighter note, since you seem to do public speaking, you should decide what target group you want to reach. If you want to appeal to New-Yorkers, get your speech therapist to give you a New York flavoured accent. If you rather appeal to a republican audience, perhaps you should choose a therapist with a major in 'Redneck Studies.' Finally, for the sake of peace on earth, at least say something sensible regardless of whatever incomprehensible accent you have.... One George Bush is enough.

Wikitravel says of St. Petersburg, Russia:

"St. Petersburg has a somewhat dangerous reputation, although mafia gang wars are unlikely to affect the average tourist. Skinhead gangs are a problem if you are Black or Asian. Much of the police force is corrupt and best avoided. Avoid travel alone at night and do not get into altercations with drunken Russians."

I would think that last part is good advice wherever you are.

221 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-12-11 02:38 ID:ebH/zOcD

>>216
I think you should ask a variety of sources whether you have a problem being heard/understood, and make them give you an absolute and honest answer. It might be hard, but you'll finally know the truth.

If it just sounds like a New Yorker's accent, that's cool. But if you can't be heard/understood, then I think that you should try to correct it.

I have an interesting dilemma. While I was at school today, I came across a bunch of textbooks sitting on a bench in the business building, with a 'FREE BOOKS' sign posted above them. Not being one to turn down free stuff, I picked up an Excel 2002 guide and a pretty nice looking International Business book - still in the wrapper, even! I get home, look through it a bit, seems like a pretty good book - then I decide to see what it's selling for online. Amazon shows even used copies going for almost $70! So my dilemma is this: should I keep the book (it might be useful) or sell it? I'm an MIS major, but I've never taken any int'l business classes. Thoughts?

tl;dr: I found a book worth $70. Keep it or sell it?

243 Name: Random Anonymous 2006-01-12 06:05 ID:iOP0+nsJ
