So anyway I figured out why Americans think I'm Australian and it's because when I'm talking with them I revert to my teenage East Sussex / Lancashire hybrid instead of the Yorkshire I've picked up over the last 20 years. This plus weird up-at-the-end inflection = Australian.

It's entirely subconscious, I don't know why it's happening, it's very confusing. Mah brand is being destroyed right now.

Get back on track by loudly exclaiming "EY UP!" to the next person you meet.

The worst thing is that for some reason when I'm talking to Americans it's actually the southern part of my accent that gets stressed, which is a nightmare for me. This is why I sound Australian to Americans!!!

Lean into it! Go full circle? That's the only advice I have, since it's half one in the morning here in Yorkshire.

No that's fine. I don't know WHAT is going on with my voice right now tbh.

When me and
@lingmops were on the California Zephyr we ended up bumping into and chatting with a guy from Hebden Bridge. That was messed up. Weird thing is he LOOKED so English. -
The weirdest bit for me was that I couldn't parse their accent for the first few sentences. I was thinking "what... what the hell sort of accent is that?? Where are they from?? wha... OH FUCK IT'S YORKSHIRE"

I accidentally mimic accents something awful. It verges on echolalia. I finally got round to looking up what this vocal fry thing is, and I'm really surprised because all the whiny idiots were implying that it's somehow something bad.
-
I think there's a thing where it can be taken to extremes but ultimately it's just the way Americans actually talk now.
-
If there's a Scot in the room I absorb their accent. And feel really nervous in case they think I'm taking the piss, ye ken?
