It depends how you define regional.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostDoes anyone here have trouble making themselves understood because of a strong accent ?
When I go to my home town, they all accuse me of being 'posh' and being a traitor
At the clients they all say 'what, what, what did he say ? scouse git'

I change my accent depending on the audience.
Normally it's a clean, english private school accent, but I'll roughen it if with people that may not appreciate a posh accent.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hmm, I like the idea of an S&M voice...
As for a group of ladies, the same as the men. It's not an accent specifically aimed at gender, but more social situation. At least that's what we were taught in elocution.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
