The reason I was asking was because I used to talk like him. I was born almost deaf so when other kids my age were talking I just mumbled because I couldn't hear how the words sounded. I had to go to speech classes and everything. But I don't talk like that anymore. I was wondering if he went through the same situation.
I think Ward has an awesome voice! I could listen to it all day...
He speaks really slowly, and he also has a bit of a speech impediment. The combination produces one of the most fantastically cool accents I've ever heard, and I've heard some good ones! And I do understand him most of the time.
Sterling Marlin, on the other hand, speaks really quickly, and chops off lots of his words, so I find him very difficult to understand. I like his voice too, though.
I live in virginia most people I know do not sound like that and I live closer to the southern border then the north.I have herd some old timers sound like that but I would say most of the 30s and younger don't have a southern accent. My grandpa has a sounthern accent but my grandma and parents dont, neither do I
