I hate my accent and voice?
I hate my voice and I wish I could change it :x I think I have an Asian accent, but I can only hear it when my voice is recorded. Otherwise, I feel like I'm speaking regular english like everyone else. I'm Asian, but I was born and raised in the US. I don't even know how to speak any other languages. Also, I have a really low voice. Its so ugly, I sound like a guy and it totally doesn't match me. Is faking the only way to change that? I don't know about anyone else, but I think I speak from my gut or something. I just know that when I talk it reverberates at the bottom of my chest. All these other girls I see (especially Asian ones) speak all high pitched and cute. Any tips on either of these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
How do I be a voice and accent trainer?
First you need to be sure about the quality and tenor of your voice. That can be found in a voice quality studio. You have to find that out your self. Then it will do well to go through a trainer programme. Then you can venture into it under the guidance of a mentor or free lance.I hope this will help

What is the different between a person's voice and accent?
A person’s voice is the sound that comes out of their mouth when their vocal chords vibrate. It can be loud or soft, high-pitched and squeaky or low-pitched and deep. It can be hoarse or rasping.A person’s accent is their pronunciation of a language. It can be of one region or another.Some English accents are New York, Liverpool, Glaswegian, Brummy, Estuary English, Dublin…Accents are often grouped by common characteristics. Thus, “British accent” could refer to any one of a number of accents from the UK or it could refer to RP English (the “standard” British English); and “American accent” could refer to any one of a number of accents from the USA or to “standard” American English.
Does my accent sound British?

How come there are voice accents in different parts of the same country?
We learn to speak by listening and imitating and the skills involved remain with us to a greater or lesser degree. In the case of professional mimics the skills are well practised, but we all have them to some extent. Sometimes there is a conscious effort made to ‘fit in’ when one moves from on region to another - often speech patterns and pronunciations change without our knowledge. It might be that the name for a familiar object is different and we ‘brand’ ourselves as ‘foreigners’ it we persist in using the name from our previous home. Sometimes there are new expressions that convey more exactly what we feel so we use them. Some people don’t adapt their manner of speaking very much, if at all, during their lifetimes - I’d like to see some analysis of their ability to learn foreign languages.In the Northeast of England there is a ‘working class’ word for a workmate (as opposed to biological mate’) which is pronounced approximately as ‘marra’ or ‘marrer’ (the final ‘r’ isn’t pronounced if it’s there in the spelling). The story goes of one workmate introducing his friend to somebody in higher office (golf club president is one of the favourites) in an affected English accents as “This is my marrow, John”.Also from the Northeast: the Northumbrian dialect has a guttural ‘r’ rather than the trilled/front of mouth ‘r’ of the Scots and many other English speakers. This is said to have started when Harry Percy (aka ‘Hotspur’) rose to eminence and his peers used the same sound. It is entirely believable that the good folk of Northumbria would do this to hide his impediment. They might just have known which side their stotty was buttered.
Why do I unconsciously mimic other people's voices or accents?
If you want a physical explanation, a neurologist such as Oliver Sacks might be able to give you some notion of why people (and many other creatures) seem to be born to imitate. But we imitate behavior (which includes making sounds - speaking, singing). That's how we knit with one another in family, regonal and national bonds. We establish schools to learn how to mimic sounds and mimic writing - it's called English class (or whatever language you choose). I'm a musician. A primary music skill is to be able to mimic patterns - called styles - of music that make the music familiar and recognizable to others ("If it ain't Bach, it ain't Musik"). Some people are more susceptible than others. I find myself drawn easily into the Texas and other drawling accents; but some I pick up gradually, like the various forms of British Empire represented in the Hobbit trailers (Petah JAK-sun and DEE*-vid TAY-luh AK-shoo-lih tohk in dee-front wehs becAWz of the way they imichate their na-bohz). (*the British "ay" is actually like a Greek "Eta", a tone which doesn't exist across the Artlantic).People like approval of other people; it's quite natural that we might begin even to speak like them - some at first meeting, others catching it over a long period of time, others resisting it somehow for their entire lives.
John Lennon's voice. Accent? Raspy ? Or both.?
I always thought that John had a very raspy voice, not when singing but specially when he talked. However I'm starting to think that people from Liverpool speak like that, is not just the accent, is the raspinness of their voices too, isn't?
Will the shape of my face and my voice(accent) change after the removal of my braces? ?
I haven't got my braces as of yet, but I am about to get them. I am a 22 years old boy and I am going to have these braces for the treatment of gaps in my teeth. I was just worried that if the shape of my face and my voice(accent) will change after the removal of my braces? Also I would like to know that how long will I have to wear braces to close these gaps in my teeth? You can check out the pictures on the links below to see the current condition of my teeth. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll25/photobucketer01/teeth01WinCE.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll25/photobucketer01/teeth02WinCE.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll25/photobucketer01/teeth03WinCE.jpg
