I found this thing called the Regional Dialect Meme on the internet and I thought it'd be fun for us to record our accents utilizing it.

Here it is:

I recorded myself doing it. Shaky camera work is shaky. I film like a man with Parkinson's.

I'll do this tomorrow. I need my sleep.

Sounds interesting. When I've got more time, I'll definitely do it.

I concur with these two. ^

I'd love to partake in this, if only my digital camera still worked.

I would like to do this when I have more time. Oh, in case you haven't already come across it, something you may enjoy is a website called Forvo.com. You can record and submit your pronunciations of different words.

I'm struggling to get to sleep tonight so I thought I might as well have a go at this, it seems quite interesting. Half of my face is darker than the other side because of the lighting, I don't have one dark eyebrow and one light one, same with my eyes, I'm not wearing eyeliner on one and not the other, I'm jus not wearing any.
Also I didn't even realise that I was rocking when I read from the book until I watched it back, I wonder if I do that all the time when I read?
