Yorkshire lass hereā¦Iām sure I have a Yorkshire accent I often go into āee bah gumā mode when it suits me too especially around posh folks 
I sound very much like the lovely young lady in the black t-shirt however, my parents are not from India neither were their parents and my grandparents parents and my great grandparents parents etcā¦

Brummie, Yam Yam hybrid.:-)
Iām a Brummie living in Wiltshire. Itās hard to assess your own accent, but strangers sometimes recognise Iām from the Midlands, so perhaps itās stronger than I think it is - although when I return to Brum I hear accents a lot thicker than mine arounde me. Or so I think ā¦
What bugs me if when people assume Iām from the Black Country!
You are right about it being hard to assess your own accentā¦i would say I havent got an accent until I hear a recording of my voice ā¦thats always a shockā¦who is that person:)

Oh I hate hearing myself on recordings, and wonder if thatās how other people hear me.
I have a regional accent, sometimes mistaken for Yorkshire.
If you want to hear how Male Cockney accents sound.
Donāt watch āMary Poppinsā.

I speak the Queenās English.
Whhull, tiz ow er would zpeak iffen er were brung up by yer.
In reality I think I speak RP. I was born a Moonraker but we moved when I was four, so I have no idea how I spoke then.
Seven years in Lincolnshire left me with a northern-ish accent. Enough that when we lived in Yorkshire people would know I wasnāt from there. Fifty miles, that was all we had moved.
I spoke with a Yorkshire accent for the seven years whilst there, probably just to fit in.
I left home at eighteen to work in Bristol, my Dad and brotherās home city. For the next four years, I spent six months alternating between there and college in my home town of Swindon.
When in Bristol I lived in a hostel with a bunch of other chaps from all over the country, and a few from beyond.
Similarly, college students were from all around the world.
My job involved precision, not just the work itself, but the communication both verbal and written.
I taught myself to speak clearly and distinctly, losing every trace of previous accents in the process, and the way I write now is also a legacy of that job.
Ten years later I moved to the beautiful county of Somerset, meaning the land of the Summer Settlers, at the request of my Lovely Cousin whom I had started dating.
I never picked up the local accent, and even after living here for thirty-eight years, Iām still classed as an incomer. Iām only tolerated because I married a local girl.
I speak a little German, the emphasis on the little, but apparently it is accent-less according to a German friend of ours.
Apparently, Dick van Dyke only had about a day to learn Mockney for his role in Mary Poppins, and was taught by an Irishman.
āOrf, with his head!ā
Awesome
Tell me about it! We do Microsoft team meetings which are recorded. Sometimes I playback for any action items and I just want to crawl under the nearest rock. Is that really what I sound like!
