--- Quote from: Map Your Voice Helps You Learn Any Accent in the World ---Map Your Voice is a neat project that helps you learn any accent by clicking a point on a map and listening to how a person from that area speaks a pre-specified piece of text.
If you're curious about the nuances of speech or want to learn an accent to better understand it, Map Your Voice is a neat project that can help you do that. Upon visiting the site, you can just click a point on the map and click the play button to hear a person speaking. The text is, for the most part, consistent (you hear a passage about Mr. Tickle). If you want to contribute you can by uploading a sample of your voice. Many areas are well-represented, but if you're from an under-represented area you, especially, may want to consider adding your voice to the project.

This one's a passage from my favourite book (one I'll harp on about incessantly given half the chance) - I, Lucifer by Glen Duncan.

Here's me reading a Carl Hiaasen book. It sounds funny and closed-in over here at my husband's computer, with the dual monitors and curtains and lamp (and working microphone).
