I've always been obsessed with accents, always wanted to do voices for cartoons! I've picked up so many 'New Zealandisms' since moving here, it's all part of the fun!

Where did you move to New Zealand from? I figured you were just born there lol.
I've got heaps of kiwi friends, my most recent friend from New Zealand still says some things with a new zealand accent, I think it's kinda cool.
Also I wanted to do voices for cartoons as a kid too! -

I don't know what you mean 'as a kid' I still want to :p I'm from England originally but I've lived all over the place.

Haha, I dunno... I'd hate to use the term "grew out of it", but I don't know I've not given the idea much thought for a while...
England, nice. I've still got lots of family back there, I'm like 4th or 5th generation english. My family actually has a cove named after them... I'd love to go visit it one day, Pentreath Cove, has a nice ring to it

Awesome! Sounds like it would be around Cornwall somewhere, would I be along the right lines? I haven't been back in almost 9 years but should be heading there on my way to Canada in May. We should meet up and be pirates in your cove, YAAARRR!!! -

Hit the nail on the head! I would totally be down for playing pirates in the cove too haha!
Funny story about the pirates.... Ummm... yeah my ancestors did that too haha. They used to turn the light off at the lighthouse then put their own somewhere else and wreck ships on the rocks then go loot them haha. Another ancestor was the last person to speak welsh as their first language.

That's a pretty smart plan! Well done them. As far as the Welsh speaking goes, I actually have a lot of Welsh relatives and it's quite funny, in the last 50 years or so, apparently more and more people are going back to their mother tongue, most schools teach in Welsh rather than English now, what an interesting language, so many consonants!
Anyway, I'll stop hijacking Oz's thread, thanks for being such a good bloke Oz -

That is interesting, I didn't know that. I think it's good to see them reviving the old tongue. I've always loved other languages, but never picked up more then a handful of words/phrases from different languages... sometimes I struggle enough with english haha! Not even joking...
Yeah I think we've substantially hijacked his introduction lol... time to move on
