USA East Coast Accents

[MissMissyMiss]

For the record any accent that isnt mine I tend to like although there have been some British guys who've made me smirk when they've talked.

Anyway.

Its played out and I'm not the first Brit or person to say this...

But when I hear men with an East Coast tint in their voice. . . Drool.

So any men out there fancy leaving me an audio treat?

Doesn't have to be sexual in fact id prefer it if it wasn't.

As for what you get back... I dunno.

you are making me regret moving out of New England so very long ago. I don't think there's any trace left...

This cousin of mine was born and raised in the Boston suburbs... definitely has that non-rhotic accent Bostonians are famous for.

Id have to hear it. When I think Boston I think chris evans the actor. Is that what you mean or that similar to your cousins or are they posh?

My cousins' accents are stronger than Chris Evans's accent. I wouldn't call them posh though, just middle class Bostonians.
When I think of a posh New England accent, I think of the Boston Brahmin accent. (which is dying out I think)

Now I have a friend in Boston who knows I made fast friends with him because of his voice so I'll imagine they sound like him. But you must stop teasing me with information lol.

If I may ask, which British accents make you smirk and why? (tone-deaf non-Brit here)

lol, I'm from New Jersey, and I never considered any of the accents around here to be desireable.

Least of all that horrible North Jersey accent that gets used as a stereotype of the whole state. >_>

All the same, I'm curious what you consider a US East Coast accent.
You put a guy from Boston, Maine, New York City, New Jersey, and Philadelphia in the same room, and you've got 5 totally different accents.
Start heading south of Delaware and Maryland, and then the east coast becomes a Southern US accent, and that's a whole different ballgame.

I was wondering the same.


And, it ain't another ball game until you're in Texas.

Texas is a differnt ballgame than the rest of the entire United States.
It's almost a whole 'nother planet!

Still, the southern east coast is easily a whole 'nother ballgame to the northeast.
lmao, My brother was in Georgia once for Army training and they couldn't understand him.
We talk too fast for them or something like that, which is crazy, because South Jersey
has a very muted accent compared to some other places in the northeast.

Everywhere I go, people comment on my hick. I married a Yankee and they all think I talk slow and draw out everything. I'm headed to NYC this week and I'm sure the slackjaws will be a'plenty.

It's this kind of stuff that gives you a laugh when people from outside the US lump all Americans in together as sounding the same or acting/thinking the same way.
I mean, we have about the accent and cultural range of the whole of Europe in one country.

Then again, I suppose it would be the same for someone from England when we talk about a British accent.
Only on a much smaller scale.

Back on topic, I'm still curious which accent the opening post considers "USA East Coast".

I'm almost considering posting my voice to see if it identifies as the preferred East Coast, or if they had something more Boston or NY in mind, because I don't sound like either.

You know, despite my proximity to it, I haven't a clue what a Delaware accent sounds like. I can just image it being the most neutral American accent ever.

All 5 people from Delaware.

Cockneys (one of the many variations of an London accent)

Northern accents (Yorkshire mainly)

And technically scots and irish are just that. I don't want to be that arrogant brit who merges everyone together.
But love they way they talk plus huskiness and deepness is always a plus in any voice for me.

Love you. I have a friend from maine he tried to explain to the lobster culture... I still don't get it.

There are varitions I agree. I try not to mistake a new yorker for a new jersian. But I love all the variations ive heard. If it hardcore or sutble I don't mind.

I was privileged to go to New York may this year and it was ear orgasms everywhere I went and they're a lot of tourists so when I heard a native talk they stood out to me.

When I spoke their reaction to me only enhanced my fantasy. Sometimes I can only hear the East Coast on certain words especially guys who moved or travel alot but its worth it.

Sourthen accents make me think of strong men (and women) so may not be my favourite but its top five.

Sorry, but I had to laugh at this.
From an American perspective, NOBODY would describe the New York accent as an "ear orgasm".

Abrasive, maybe, but orgasm isn't exactly the first word that comes to mind.

Bless the foreign perspective.

I love woman with Southern USA accents as well as British accents.

As for me, I have lived in New Jersey for 20yrs but I still retained most of my Brooklyn.

Oh please do

I love accents of any sort - they're like music and the variety of American accents is amazing. The deep south drawl is really sexy and I think the ones from Maine etc have another charm. I like the New Jersey accents but … to my ear it's not immediatley sexy Sorry
