I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but I haven't seen it, so I'm going to ask. I've been singing for about two years now, but recently my (former) drummer has said that I use a put on accent when I sing, sounding american (I'm English). I however just sing naturally and it comes out like this, is there anything I can do to sing less like this, or is it simply something I'll have to live with?

Yeah. Lots of people do that. It's because the American accent (especially New England) has a much more flowing timbre to it, and is much easier to sing in.

Well i like it, but this guy complains about it... Meh, it just feels natural to sing like it so I suppose its okay.

I think I'm the opposite. I'm from America and I think my voice has a slight British twang to it.

I don't think I'd be laughing at anyone's posts if you can't even spell a simple word like 'said'.
