Hundreds of millions of people wake up with Chinese accents every day.

That's crazy that it's actually a syndrome.

I know two sisters from Victoria who grew up there. One sounds like she was born in BC while the other has this pompous fake British accent. I've seen her sister roll her eyes when she speaks. Maybe I've been mistaken all these years and it's a syndrome?

The characteristic of a Chinese accent is no distinction between L and R sound. e.g. Do you like Chinese fly lice ? Actually should be fried rice. Another difficult word for Chinese to say is " Problem" very likely becomes "ploblem"

Probably record it and put my name on a voice acting website. To see if I could get paid money for it . There are people who do that the voices for computer games ' animated TV cartoons' Adult content cartoons. Voice acting for on line games like world of Warcraft . Mind you I most likely would not make very much with one voice type available . But that is something that people look for I think A voice that draws attention to the character and creates a certain image.

It's possible or perhaps something else. Admittedly, the scientific understanding of how the brain works is quite limited. Look at those people who wake up and have no recollection of who they are or the past. As far as the brain goes (and mental health) we're still in the very early stages of understanding it.
Stroke is definitely one of the known causes of the syndrome. On a basic level "having an accent" of a foreign language derives from the inability to hear/mimic or articulate some of the nuances of the language you are trying to speak. Damage to the motor functions associated with speech would have a similar result: inability to articulate with the same degree of nuance. She's not really speaking with a Chinese accent, she's just lost the ability to articulate some of the same phonetics that, coincidentally, Chinese speakers don't discern. If she had different damage you'd infer a different accent.

In the case of the second video, she's truncating her words and exaggerating her vowels which people associate with an English (cockney?) accent, but notice the UK interviewers can tell it's not a true English accent but a mishmash of distortions that resemble various regions.

Anyway one way or another sudden defects in speech are a good indicator of brain damage such as you might get with stroke (among other things). Slurring is a well known symptom but there are other variations such as dysphasia.

Millions of people with Chinese accent wake up every morning.
I like to wake up with a boner.
I would not want to wake up with a woman with any accent because I can't afford $1000/night. I would like her to leave after the act or sixty minutes which ever comes cheap.

Well lets make it really FUCKED UP.

A.You fart marbles.....yes you litteraly fart marbles.....eat the wrong thing the day before and you have 10,000 aggies crapped out of your pants.

B.You leave a trail of Paprika behind you.....yes just like in the Bugs Bunny cartoons when that sparked line of gun powder follows you no matter what.

C.Your face changes to the face of Dom Deliouse every time you sneeze for 1 minute and then reverts to your face.

I don't think so, really? Did you watch the second one too...what a bizarre and narrow minded thought to think they are faking it.

I've never heard of this, you learn something new everyday :loco: amazing

I like the second one about the British/SA/Aussie accent lady hehe, reminds me of when I hang out with Aussies too much or in Australia for too long the voice inside my head starts speaking with an accent.

The first video kind of sucks, she already had a thick accent to begin with, so it just sounds like her brain has been fried, doesn't really sound Chinese to me, a little bit but I've heard lots of Chinese accents and its not the same to me.

If this ever happened to me, I have like barely ANY audio of my voice anywhere! :O So I'd never remember what I sounded like before...I still don't know what I sound like, to me it sounds normal but in audio it does not, like mini mouse or a 6 year old.
