That wasn't bad! Most of our population lives in or within an hour of the city and speak with a neutral southwestern accent. The accent you're using is a southern accent (used in Georgia, Virginia, etc.). People in small towns, though, still do talk like that!
Very, very good. You're practically there. I would say that when you pronounced "CD" it sounded as if you were saying "city" or "siddy." Maybe slow that down, draw it out a tad longer, like "seeee deeee." Your pronounciation of the word "bathroom" sounds like an Aussie, as if you're saying "bethroom". You're very, very good. Not terrible at all. Keep up the great work!
Not bad, but you need to add the word "fixin" to your Texan vocabulary. "I'm fixin to go to the store with my sister". Make sure to pronounce the "er" sound at the end of sister, too!
I have been with a woman from Texas for about two years. She definitely says yall, but they really don't have thick accent like this. I think people from Georgia, NC etc. speak like this.
Being Native Texan and listening to how lots of people talk here (including myself), I'd have to say that the accent was pretty solid for what it was. Maybe a little forced, cliched, etc. but, then again, some of that is played on in the state itself. Texans consider themselves Texan, as differentiated from Westerners, Southerners, etc. It's self described as a whole 'nother culture (Ex. - Texas: it's like a whole 'nother country). Hope that helps for what it's worth.
I lived in FL and now I live in MS and work in LA. It's really the ones with the very thick accents that will say all that. I can't believe you haven't heard mash the button! That's probably the most common example that I gave! :)
I ain't no city slicker from houston ya dummy! I'm a good ol' country boy and I say it again: She don't sound texan at all! and whoever sounds like that cannot even pretend to have a texan accent. period.
I'm from Mexico, but have lived in Texas and Michigan as well. She don't talk like a Texan gal would...or should I say 'lass', so that she may understand?
Here some advice: try and say 'barbed wire' like a true Texan would: put some sköal or coppenhagen tobacco dip between your lower lip and your teeth, and wait for the saliva to accumulate. Then try and say it XD. That will give you, at least the male accent.
hahahahaha i am from the texas hill country ( Bandera ) & baby you got away to go to perfect that accent.... but it was funny & you looked good doin it.
wow...your pretty good...i am from arkansas and cant even do a very realistic southern accect check out these vids on my friends profile entitled officially in arkansas and officially in arkansas 2
Oh come on everyone, She's a Brit doing a country accent. She did a great job. It doesn't matter what accent of the southern arm pit of the U.S she trying to copy. It was good. If you ask a person from the south to copy a UK English accent, they won't even know where to start, and they will get absolutly tongue tied and end up biting their tongues black & blue. Southerners won't even sound close to even a yankee from the north. Give Sezzera a break for crying out loud.
you ARE doing a souther accent.... which southern accent im not quite sure. you've slipped more into hick than southern bell though. southern bell is a little slower, softer spoken, really flirty, and more from regions around georgia. use gone with the wind as a reference point. scarlet is the quintessential southern bell accent.
You did a good "country" accent. Though it didn't sound Texan. I agree with dapunkof1975, we don't talk that way and hollywood has dramatized it horribly! Though it wasn't too horrible
Oh, and Louisianans tend to drop "r"s more frequently (a trait shared with older southeasterners, rather similar to Brits!), their twang isn't as pronounced, and they sometimes have a touch of French in their dialect (due to the Cajun influence).
Oh, and I believe "Howdy" is traditionally local to Texas. It's a desert/cowboy expression, if I'm not mistaken. Not heard at all in plantation/bayou country.
HOLY SHIT!!! Nobody in Texas says howdy or reckon'. Maybe in the 1800's or the early 20th century but not now. I want to clerify that no one in the big cities have that accent. If they do, they were probably from the rural areas originally. Other than that, our accents sound like people from the West Coast.
Hey, I'm from the south..try making it a little softer...the southern accent isn't always that obvious...but that was pretty good, except for the howdy...I wouldn't ever say howdy. (more like Hey Ya'll or How are Ya'll doin)
There is a difference between a "Country" Accent and a Southern accent, the country accent is WAYY harder like what you did, a southern accent is softer and less detectable and not on evvvvery word. If your not from the south you wont know this, mostly because people with Southern accents are more upper class and well raised and rarely leave the south. It is also more prevalent in only a few states like, Virginia, North carolina, South carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Missisipi, as well as tenn.

Ohhh my! Okay I officially think your American accent is the most convincing when you're immitating a southerner. That was excellent, really, really good job on this one Sezzera!!(But my opinion probably can't be to reliable because I've never even been anywhere near the South.)If you were to use that accent around here, people would know right away that you were a long way from home :P
For a Southern accent listen to Vivian Leigh in Gone With the Wind. A British Actress playing a Southern US girl born to an Irish immigrant as a Catholic in a predmoinantly Protestant region.
I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I hate to burst everyones bubble but no one from Texas, at least not in the cities, sounds like that. BUT we do get the southern "belle" drawl sometimes, no hick twang though. And i definitely say "y'all", but thats really it.
Actually, I've heard "howdy" to and i've been to Texas twice. I really don't like the accent at all. But, I've since some talk kind of like Utahns (the people who don't have a drawl) My accent is quite neutral sounding but then again there are a few southerners in Utah though. I wonder if that's in the deep south where they say howdy.
Your attempts at American accents are very good. When you are using an American accent very few people would think you were not an American. But the southern accent in some spots seemed like you were a northern USA girl trying to sound like a southerner.I noticed: In British English you will say "I got a note from someone CALLED Jim." What An American would say is, "I got a note from someone NAMED Jim."
we sound more horrid than that. XD

I'm from Chicago, but I've been living in the south for about 8 years. I thought I'd give you a few tips for your southern accent!
Instead of saying "press the button" or "hit the button", in the south they say MASH the button.
It's not a shopping cart or a shopping basket but a BUGGY.
When you say you're going to give someone a ride somewhere, you'd say you're going to CARRY them somewhere.
Some with a rather thick accent will say RUINT or RURNT instead of "ruined".

Everybody's in defence saying "we don't talk like that". A regional accent that comes from RURAL and REMOTE areas can be typical.
All big cities of the world more or less speak the received accent of the country.
