Yes, this American boy has an accent...An English one...XD I'm not exactly sure if he has aspergers though.
I've been told I have an unusual voice, but I think it has more to do with my physiology than accent.

I also have a problem with voice projection. I tend to talk as if addressing a multitude. A few times, a waitress in a restaurant inquired as to whether I was hearing impaired as my loud voice was mistaken for being hard of hearing.


When I was a kid I did this too. My dad told me he just watched a video of me narrating a play in elementary school and I was screaming at the audience the whole time :lol:

I don't do this SO badly anymore, except when I'm drunk or really excited. Then people have to tell me to keep it down. I try but I just can't modulate my voice.

I think i have a standard American accent that doesn't really project any sort of regional influences. I can do accents in English as well as a couple of other languages.

My voice is quite different when compared to the voices of most people; it's really monotone.

My voice is pretty monotone except for the volume of my voice. My cadence pretty much stays the same.

some people say i have a snobby sounding voice.
other people say i have an intellectual voice.
yet others say i have a rapid and disjointed way of speaking.

it is impossible to convey what my voice sounds like by discussing it.

most people that have commented on my voice say that i have a neutral accent, or an accent that is my own accent. i do not sound like an australian to australians, but i do sound like an australian to other people from over seas.

here is a video clip of my solo holiday at ballina a couple of years ago that conveys my speaking style.
it is not only what i say, but also what i choose to say that people think is odd. someone said to me that i talk like i am giving evidence to an inquiry at times, and another person said i jump from idea to idea too rapidly to be pleasant to talk with
goodness knows. i just hook my mouth into what i see and that is all.
