Yes, I have also seen those videos at the university, which by the way were fucking boring.icecab21 wrote:Yes I have a whole thing about use accents and how in a communications class my teacher showed a video of some places in the USA that still had their sounds of the 1700's. Accents give character and can be used for some great emotional reactions. So many things go into how a vocalist’s sounds that it’s incredible to hear the different ways sounds and words can be put together. Kotipelto sings a whole lot of different style with stratovarius and my favorite songs are where he is given the vocal runs of chorus melody and when the end of a song gets transposed up with the key changes. He definitely is at his best when he gets to just focus on holding and doing runs with vowels.

Yes, it depends very much on the speaker. For instance TK has an accent, Jens another and Jorg a different one. By the way, have you ever listened to Jari speaking? Because I never did

Here in Spain we also have very different accents. For instance my mother tongue is Valencian but I also speak Spanish which is the official language in Spain so when I speak Spanish I have the valencian accent too...
American and British accents are very different too.I prefer the first one, it's easier for me to understand.
As a Spanish girl is very easy for me to identify the Argentinian accent, Mexican or Venezuelan...The same happens with them when listen to a Spanish speaking
The funniest thing in identifying accents is that it lets you know where somebody comes from, and that is a very cool and entertaining thing.
