^ I really like you're voice. It's so light and clear.
I know what you mean about not having the typical Jersey accent. When I first moved here to NY, and people would always ask where I was from and I'd tell them, they would always say (obviously somewhat joking), "Oh from New Joisey?" No, not from that part. -_- Southern NJ and Northern NJ = two totally different places with completely different accents.

Dancingingtherain Your singing style is unique its very graceful I like it!
Lol those were good Graeme I especially like the one about algebra can totally relate::
And the one with the cardinal and how the boy wanted to be plumber following in his father’s footsteps lol
Cool sound effects Foxface I have no clue what you said in the first one but you have a nice accent based on the second message.

Aye, Billy Connolly comes out with some great one-liners. Did you watch the "Voice Recognition Elevator" sketch from Scottish comedy series Burnistoun? If so, what did you think?
Very good! Practice your breathing techniques when singing and you should project better
I do love that song.

I made an awful attempt at recording my original monologue today but it's didn't sound that great - felt like it's was try too hard tae be funny. Didn't have any life aboot it - sounded very slow, deadpan, obvious I was read off the page. Don't think it suited ma voice, tae be honest.
And I'm really wantin' it tae sound natural, ye know?! So I've decided to scrap the topics and start over. Focusing predominately on Scotland, the accent, the Scots language, how we pronounce, spell certain words in Scots and the slang terms. Try learning as many Scots slang terms and expression as possible and translate the into English. Because it quite a unique, linguistic language. I mean, it's so far advanced it might as well be from the future.
And there are certain groups of slang words which rhyme. I thought it'd be more interesting, and even more intriguing hearing me speaking in my native language - since everyone here want to hear ma awesome Scottish accent.
That sounds a lot better doesn't it?! Well, I think so, anyway.

^ Yeah, NJ really isn't that bad, just depends on where you live. Just like anywhere else, they all have their good places and bad places. I actually live upstate in NY, no where near NYC (or Sanrio, sadly). Still though, I bet I'd get asked the same thing if I did live there.Right!

Nearly prepared ma monologue, written mostly in Scots. If I didnae have a sored throat I'd have recorded and post ma voice here today. I'm still not sure how I'll go about translating the Scottish slang word and expression because that will be quite difficult - quite a challenge!
But, in the meantime, here's another sketch from Scottish comedy series Burnistoun:
Burnistoun - Nae Rolls sketch
Enjoy!

Awright, awright, calm doon! I cannae post ma voice with a sore throat, I'll be coughing ma way through the recording. I could give a try, though? But I think ma voice'll come oot sound like a rottweiler with wasp up it's arse! Nae worries aboot misspelling ma name. Alot of people dae that!
^ Dae ye want aw that translated intae proper English?

LOL
I got it after a few read throughs. OK - I am sure we can wait a little while longer - but boy it better be spectacular....
Aye! But I'm a wee bit hesistant as to how I should approach it. Do I speak as I would usually? Slow it down to make it understandable? Or...?
Because Scots is its own seperate language. And what I wanted to do is break it down and translate Scots into English. As best I can.
But the accent would really help the pronunciation especially when comes how Scots say certain words. See the issue is that Scots tends to shortened and lengthen certain words. Or not pronounce certain letters. Like if a word ends with "ing", the letter "g" is replace with an apostrophe at the end. And we say o' - when we mean "of".
Some Scots words actually rhyme - because usually only 1 letter is being changed. And because it has a certain flow and pronounciation it can seem like words are slightly joined together. If you watched that "Nae Rolls" sketch from Scottish sketch comedy series Burnistoun, which I posted you'll probably have notice that a bit?
Do you see how confusing this gonnae be - not just for me, but, anyone unfamiliar with the Scottish accent?
And keep in mind my Scottish accent is only one of many different varying regional dialects. I mean I was born and raised in south-west Scotland but my accent is predominately sounds Glaswegian because the city of Glasgow has produced much of Scotland's comedy output (TV comedy and comedians). And I watched alot growing up and still do nowadays.

I had a little difficulty understanding the people’s accent in the nae rolls but it wasn’t too bad I just had to really listen. I can usually understand Billy Connolly’s accent but if you want you can type in text what you said and post it up with your voice or you can pm me your voice and I’ll let you know if it sounds clear before you post it up. I hope you feel better soon.

I might PM you a recording of my voice, Kat, just to make sure it sounds clear. Typing it out and translating Scots to English might be a good idea? But I wouldn't be able to explain pronounciation. I don't know... I mean, I don't know what I'm going to say?! The fact my Scottish accent is quite broad doesn't really help matters.
