When I lived in India, I'd speak like an Indian to get good prices while shopping. I'm good with accents.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm different. I don't speak perfect American. I do have a lilt of an Indian accent. I thought, 'Maybe the world's not okay with what I bring, being Indian.'
I grew up in a lot of different places, so I pick up accents pretty quickly.
I can do accents really well.
I do accents. Sometimes when I've had a few drinks, I speak in different accents all night long, and then at the end of an evening someone will say to me, 'Seriously, where are you from?'
I have a dialect myself; it's more pronounced, because I have studied theatre and been in England. It's half-British, half-Indian.
To be honest, accents are one of those things for me, personally, that usually come quite naturally by just listening to the people.
In my normal life, I do not speak with an accent. It's harder for people to realize my hearing loss in everyday life.
How come foreign accents are so sexy? If I say, 'I'm going to the store,' it sounds boring, benign and rudimentary. But if it's said with an accent, it sounds fundamentally cool.
My accent depends on whom I'm around.
My mum made a conscious decision not to teach me any Indian languages so I wouldn't talk with an accent.
