One of the weird things about the Internet is that we talk so much but hear so little. The Internet has adopted text, photos, video, but never really audio. And audio matters. Without it, we miss the accent, emphasis and intonation through which so much information is passed when talking. There’s no missing sarcasm in person, but often there’s no spotting sarcasm on the Internet.
In the interests of enhancing communication among Crasstalkers, especially for the estimated 20% of the population said to be auditory learners, the question of the day is this: What celebrity do you most sound like?
YouTube clips of your chosen celebrity talking are encouraged.
No-one is to believe Buick when he claims to sound like Barry White.
For my part, I’ve always said that comedian Sammy J sounds scarily like me (and looks like a skinnier taller me as well; it’s the hair). I do NOT have a bogan Crocodile Dundee/Outback Steakhouse accent no matter what someone might tell you.
The exception is when I’m around English people, then I inexplicably sound like a Scouser (blame Red Dwarf; I do).
Over to you!
