How Many Accents Can You Do: Ovi Maps Challenge
So most of you out there many languages. But how many of you know many accents. If you think you are a master of accents then hit play on the videos below.
We’re on the hunt for an accent aficionado. Using Nokia’s Own Voice app, we want you to submit your best accents in a bid to become Nokia’s Foreign Accent Cup Champion. First- up, a bit about the tool you’ll be using. Own Voice lets you record and share your own navigation instructions for Ovi Maps directly to you Nokia. Simply download the app to your device and as quickly as you can say “You have reached your destination”, you’ll have your own Voice Pack for navigation.
Doing this in your own accent is all well and good, but we’d like to stretch your vocal chords. Over the next week we’ll be calling on you to submit a voice pack in the style of any accent of your choosing. Whether it’s Australian-cum-New Zealand or Austrian-cum-German, we want to hear it.
Once you’ve looked at the videos, or if you’re feeling confident enough, head straight over to Own Voice to get cracking on creating your Voice Pack. On Friday we’ll be picking the top ten, and find out who is the Foreign Accent Cup Champion. The prize? Oodles of Nokia goodies and the knowledge that you’ve mastered the art of accents.
A bit of housekeeping, when you submit a voicepack make sure you include ‘Accentcup’ in the description and,then leave a note in the Conversations comments with your Twitter username, or alternatively send an email to foreignaccentcup@ovi.com, stating the name of the voicepack in the subject line. Bonza.
