Heheh. Verdict: I am not eloquent. I knew I wouldn't get through that without getting chatty and saying "uhhhhh" a bunch of times, but there you have it.

I'm really liking this glimpse at how you all sound. It's so different from how I hear you in my mind.

LOL about you saying we sound different in your head, you sound different in my head! It was a bit odd hearing your voice, I have to admit.

And I ALWAYS say newFOUNDLAND. xDDD Now I know how to say it properly.

Am I the only one who says Pas-kuhl? Everyone seems to say it the way you do. D:

Also, What is With everyone messing up Frances's name? Poor Franny, he gets no love! D:

My across the street neighbor was from Newfoundland so I knew how to pronounce it! :)

I really thought I would talk more about how much I loved each of the sims, but then realised when I recorded it that that would sound weird.

That was cool! You sound younger than 28. And <3 for your slightly different accent.
Poor Frances. His name is so long and difficult!

You have such a nice voice!

The only thing you pronounced different from what I would was, funnily enough, 'pronunciation'. I do saw 'Nufundland', because I worked with a Newfoundlander for a few years at Tim Horton's. (And I watched a lot of Shaun Majumder or however you spell his name ;) )
Well, I do say 'klo' instead of 'kloee', as well, but I think that's something else altogether :S

I love your voice. It sounds like a Canadian accent, and then all of the sudden there are some hints of something else. And I don't mind your rambling. :P

Lol, your voice didn't surprise me that much? I thought it'd be a little more feminine I think. You also sound sort of familiar which is WEIRD. I love your little mess up on Frances and how you got all uppity about the pronunciation of Newfoundland. I'm from Lebanon, PA and it's pronounced Leb-nin NOT Leb-a-non. Also Lancaster is Lang-cuh-ster not Lang-cast-or.

It's a PA Dutch thing I think. Like how we have to eat pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day. TRADITIONS!

Your voice is so different than how I pictured it...I guess I thought it'd be richer? Deeper? I don't know. :\ I like how you pronounce some of it, like Circe. I should do this :D

Hah!

I've lived in BC for 16 years, Quebec before that. For some reason, I'm told that I 'talk like a Newfie'. I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, but I now understand that I most certainly do not talk like a Newfie... but I kinda wish I did. Your accent, it's very endearing. ProNOUNciation. RAMbling. Nervous _sub-ject. The stereotype is much more severe than your accent embodies, I'm sure you're aware.

I always read Circe as Seerk. I think your pronunciation is correct according to rules of ce-words, but it struck me as quite odd to hear someone say it that way.

I loved how your voice sounded. It is very pretty. You also pronounce words very much like I do, and I am from Maryland.

This was so great to hear! Tomato/Tomahto (Or, like on Cars... Tuh-mater, lol)

You sound a LOT like my best friend since the 3rd grade. Not so much in how you say words as far as accent, but in the way you talk. Julie (my friend) gets chatty also! :D

I've always pronounced Newfoundland as NEWfoundland, and I sort of run the word together... NEWfundlund.

For the most part, aside from a few "twangs" here and there (for lack of a better term) you sound like you could be from around here. Which was kind of neat!

I'm LOVING these voice posts!

You know I really love your accent!
The way you say 'Circe' is adorable. I don't pronounce the 'e', but now I've said it again it sounds sorta bizarre without the 'e' sound on the end. And 'Beau'! Mine sorta sounds like 'bow'.
I love listening to these voice posts!

Ophelia's new hair looks great! Does her changed hairdo have anything to do with the storyline?

You have exactly the voice I imagined you'd have! :D I like your accent, although I don't really see a big difference between yours and the American (probably because I usually listen to American and British accent). But it was fun hearing you; in fact you kind of remind me of the writer/podcaster on Grammar Girl's Quick & Dirty Tips for Better Writing (http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/). :) Maybe you could make your own podcast one day, I think you have a good voice for that. :)

That was fun, and I listened to the recording three times because I didn't notice an accent!! I have a few folks here in Arizona from Canada, and didnt notice any accent either! LOL

I used to pronounce Circe, Sirk...lol! until my sister mentioned her name in a random sim conversation....and i was like, ohhhhh
