I did what I promised myself I'd never do....

So that's why my wife does that! She's been in the US since she was 10, so her accent is mostly gone. There some weird syllable emphasis issues now and then, though. Candidly, the stereotypical Filipino accent is annoying as shit.

especially when they try hard to make a conversation... nose bleed! lol

i like you already...



yeah I guess that "he/she thingy" is a dead give away that the person is a pinoy/pinay no matter what he/she looks like. had the same problem when I was younger.

(FTR: I'm a white american guy with a generic east coast accent. A Japanese girlfriend once called it "American English teacher English")

Bleh, don't even get me started on "upper class" Filipinos...I used to HATE those old, upper class Filipinas that would come into my old job, treat me like some lower class servant, then NOT leave a dag gone tip......all I can say to that is, putanginamo....

i like you already...

But yeah, my gf is a lower middle class pinay...and she definitely can pronounce F sounds decently...although, I do find it funny that she refers to any gender in the feminine(i.e. when referring to a male, she'll always say "she or her"). Oh and the whole "open/close da light" thing always cracks me up, lol.

^ now this made me laugh

funny thing is, those who are considered "upper class" here are the ones who has that accent. the ones from lower middle class and below sounds better. all thanks to the BPO industry perhaps?

Also I don't know how to do a Phillipino accent, so I'm reading yours with a Hong Kong type Chinese accent. Sorry.

Let's just say....their F's always sound like P's.... Por example: "I hab many pocking pilipino priends dat like to pight at da pestibal."

Thanks to my many years of living in San Diego where there are Pinoys/ays galore....my ability to mimic a "Pilipino" accent is almost spot on....plus it helps to listen to a lot of Rex Navarrete(sp?).

That's it. A day's work, and my adoring fans get all of two-third of my (blurry) face.

Lol. I'm sure your fans are waiting with baited breath for your big screen starring role. ;)

syberia very much like Nicole Kidman with a sore throat.

Huh. Not too far off. But my accents a little broader, I think.

BigMike, I had your voice down as sounding like the petrol station attendant in the later series' of Alan Partridge

The "work geordie"? Nope, im on the other side of the country.

You keep up with other people's wardrobes pretty well, Snake.

thanks tao. im very fond of drawing and other art stuff so I can really appreciate his shirts' designs. :)

now regarding the accent, a typical pinoy guy would have almost the exact same accent as Pacman when they talk. lol

Actually, if you can find a very rare clip of Peter Serafinowicz not doing an impersonation, then that would be pretty close.

Bigmike, you've been downgraded to Bert from Mary Poppins.

It's a jolly oliday wif maaaaryyyyyy

As of this thread I am officially reading everyone's posts in accents based on their location.

BigMike sounds like 'enry 'iggins, and syberia very much like Nicole Kidman with a sore throat.

Im a northerner, we still have the letter "H"
