I've had my English accent back for three days, and I am so confused.
00:06
It hasn't come back slurred or stuttered.
00:09
It's come back quite normal.
00:11
The only thing I'm having to do is really concentrate on how I'm speaking and what I'm
00:16
saying.
00:19
I feel like I'm holding my mouth different.
00:23
It's just really strange for me at the moment.
00:26
And I know a lot of you watching this will say, I don't know what your problem is, it's
00:30
just an accent.
00:31
It's so much more than just an accent, and trying to get people to understand that is
00:37
really difficult.
00:39
I mean, I don't know how to even begin.
00:43
I spent my whole life with a voice.
00:47
That voice changed.
00:49
I then spent 13 months with a Welsh accent, and I accepted that, and I had to adapt to
00:57
that, and now it's gone again.
01:03
I don't know what my next thing is.
01:06
I don't know whether my voice...
01:09
I just want to be...
01:11
I just want to have a voice that stays that voice so that it isn't hurting my brain.
01:18
It's just hurting my head because I don't know whether I'm coming or going, and it's
01:24
actually really difficult to speak in different accents, and unless you've had it, I can't
01:30
explain it to you.
01:32
So now I've just got to go through the motions, I guess, wait and see what happens.
01:38
Is the English going to stay?
01:39
Is the Welsh going to come back?
01:40
Am I going to speak with a different accent?
01:43
Who knows?
01:46
Nobody can give me any answers regarding the accent change, so it really is a case of wait
01:55
and see.
