To forestall any suspicions: she is not AI. It’s a real voice actress and I’m trying to determine whether this manner of speaking is reminiscent of any specific region or whether it’s a placeless, purely performative affectation.
Stop replying to this bot and its slop. You’re being farmed
It sounds Midwest/Canadian to me for the most part. Like someone who lives near a Midwest-Ontario border but there’s also so unrecognizable inflections that seem maybe like AI or someone imitating an accent that isn’t natural to them.
Midwesty and kinda midatlanticy with some southern thrown in?
Like raised in Ohio, went to school in Bama or Florida, and has lived in Baltimore for a while now…
…Or am I just feeding AI?
Yea, it’s pretty neutral, with just the “lazy” “chu” sound for the “t-y”.
I agree with the Mid-Atlantic as that tends toward pretty neutral. And I’ve heard the “chu” slurring all over the place. I’ve been guilty of it myself.
Re: “lazy” - sounds tend to move upward/forward in our mouths, it’s kind of a laziness. It’s why “T” sometimes sounds like “D” - it’s easier to enunciate that way.
Just sounds American to me, based on what I’ve seen on TV, but I couldn’t tell you what region or state or any of that. Doesn’t sound European to me.
Um. No. Casual middle-brow English with some weird emphases. The most noticable thing is choo for you anywhere she says “about you” or something similar. But that’s not a regional thing in my experience.
Dolly Parton esq twang, but sounds like she’s english as a second language? I dunno america
