Apologies for the shitty video resolution... I really should get a video cam instead of using my digital camera.... soon soon!

Sounds the same to me.
You may wanna adopt that accent in another part of the world where no one knows you and you can afford to create yourself again.
In sg, ppl already know how you used to speak my dear. Naturally ppl will question your newly acquired British accent. Accents are not generated from caucasian bfs! I've been dating them for past 8 years and I'm still myself. I like you babe I really do but in this instance, it shows you're not comfortable and confident to just be yourself.
Logically in linguistics studies, one doesn't adopt a sudden accent naturally, esp not at a mature age and in the related native country.
Anyways good luck hj, take care.
Be yourself, Holly. =)
Cheers!
now u sound so serious... same as in s factor, whebn u talk never smile one.
The funny part is when you say "four", it sounds more like american accent. if you want to do brit accent, remember to drop the "r". I guess you got it from your ex-bf from America. So did you do american accent back then?
I apologise if it still sounded twangy to you. But I personally don't think it sounds british...
With different GFs I have diffnt levels of intimacy with so I can speak with them with bits of singlish terms as well as fill the whole conversation with our own coined phrases..,.. which I tend to always do with my friends. Eg. with some of my friends I use- Herman - means toilet break.... (after pee wee herman). Jongs is Mah jong.. etc... it's actually quite fun.
anyway, I digress.
@anon 11.13- just for fun really.
@anon2.05- yep.
@anon2.44- i think i sounded the same a sfactor..during interviews and stuff.
@Sam- read some stuff above (I'd be repeating myself)
@anon4.40- as above.
@anon4.49- hard to smile when I am focused on putting on an accent lah. (hohoho... this is a joke ok)
@anon5.33- I know what u mean. It;s the same for when my cousins in Australia come to Sg though... I was with my cousin at seven eleven, and she kept reapeating that she wanted a straw... but the guy at the counter (who presumable only understood singlish.. poorthing).. didn't understand her. Until I just shouted on her behalf (not a rude shout), "STRAW". Easy, understood.
@anon5.55- it goes ok... I just use a pretty neutral accent fr everyone to understand I guess. It's not even something i am conscious of (having to speak to different friends and GB, etc)
@anon 6.37- if the way i say four sounds american instead of british... and tht somehow is able to irk you, then sorry, u just got to deal with it. That's the way I say Four, not going to change it to sound british or singlish or whatever you may think I should sound like.
@ F- are u the F I think u are?? I think so. Hello!
@anon7.23 - ur very welcome. thanks for asking :)
The diff is this time she tries to enounciate her words properly and yea though it's slightly different, it's not too far off the S-Factor series. Well done, your tone was crisp and clear...most importantly,it's fluent and NATURAL. Good job HJ!
i like how matter of fact and natural you are with all the questionssss. must have come with experience from teaching!
j
just clearing up ;)
well.. no, never had a sleep and leave kinda guy cos i think my radar is quite good.
like when dating someone, u get a feel for if they want a serious rship.. or just want a quick fuck and disappear.
Of course all welcome to speak any kind of English-raping accent with lahs, los, leis, boomz and twisted tone that no one can understand fifty kilometers away - that's good for national identity too. (And makes everyone happy in the outside world instantly when they hear it)
Sam: get a life, it is too apparent that you are jealous.
It's nice to hear the answer, instead of reading about it.
glad it didnt happen to you, maybe it doesnt happen as often as i think it does! (:
why deny it? you definitely picked up the accent from Mark.
but i like it!
Glad to get to know u more through the video. =)
i enjoyed the vid! & your voice sounds perfectly fine. people are being so critical. just wanna say keep up the good work & dont let them bring you down! (:
commented by a girl.
She certainly did not sound british, seemed more like a natural asian accent with adequately enunciated words.
The blogshop is at 35 Haji Lane..
if u go to theblogshop.sg's link.. i think u can find a map/how to get there info...
(Holly, u like my minah-fied singlish? teehee)
But it's really very very easy to get there. You can just go to Bugis MRT, then ask station control for some directions.. or just walk and ask people. 5 min walk.
map here-
