Episode 61: “My name is Amy Walker”
I love the quirkiness of accents. Everyone has got one, although with some it may be more pronounced than others. After moving to London, I was surprised to hear that people could hear my accent. Well, not surprised in that they noticed I had an accent, but more amazed how exact some could pinpoint where I was from. I’ve had people recognize I’m from the Netherlands, others that recognize the Australian bit, and a couple that managed to hear both in my voice.
Anyhow, here’s a cool little video where one woman does 21 different accents:

Somebody give that woman a job. Really amazing. To bad there was no Dutch accent in there.

That was a hoot to watch and listen to.
I loved the California accent. I was raised in South Dakota, and when I moved to California (over 40 years ago), everyone asked me where I was from. Now I sound like a Californian.
Thank you for sharing!
