    Default Feel like I need to talk more in free chat, but my accent is a turnoff. What do I do?

    I always type in free chat, and people keep asking that I talk. Sometimes I actually feel like talking, because I basically type non-stop and get very tired of it. But when I start talking, everyone forgets about sex and starts playing guess where my accent is from and it totally kills the mood, because refusing to tell is a turnoff, and telling the truth derails it all to politics or makes people haggle or just leave. What do I do?

    ^^ I deal with that ish all the time and its annoying as hell, but I've found a nifty way around it, I say I'm "originally" from where I'm from but now live elsewhere because I LOVE to travel etc. That kinda takes the wind out their sails. I also emphasise that I love my home country if anyone asks. Then I go back to the sexy stuff. My accent actually generates quite a bit in income for me and I find that the people who haggle about it are not the people who are paying in any case.

    That looks like a good idea but Russians seem to be way too unpopular RN even if not living in Russia. "Why do you hate LGBT", "What do you think of Ukraine", "Are you a communist?" fml. I have no idea how to turn this back to sexy lol. Last time I told a guy I'd been having quite a nice convo with where I was from, he said "bitch" and left. Idk, I might just have a talent for attracting haters. Wondering if other Russian girls have it as bad lol.

    Really? You get all that crap for beeing a russian? I usually tell my members i am from Russia-evan tough i am not. They never pull that crap on me. All i get from time to time is: do you wanna fuck Putin?, go fuck Putin and make him not be that way anymore & so on. That happens rarely tough. I only get compliments for beeing a russian ( evan a fake one lol).

    Off topic but I love hearing someone speak Russian. The language sounds so beautiful.

    If you want to talk, go ahead and talk. You're cute as hell and a total sweetie whenever I see you on cam (our overnight shifts overlap, lol).

    If dudes wanna make a big deal of guessing your accent but turn into assholes when you give them a legit answer, stop giving them an answer.

    Dudes ask me where I'm from/what my accent is all the time and never accept OR believe me saying 'I live in the US' at face value. I've been accused of having a foreign/fake accent (no, was def. born in the US idiots), lying about my location (because I refuse to get specific), etc., and I'm a boring ol' US girl for these guys. Realistically, these guys are buzz kills who were probably never going to spend on me anyway and are now just trying to keep my attention by any means possible. The dudes making you doubt your ability to speak on cam without devolving into a 'name the accent' war are of this ilk.

    Take control of the conversation by being curt but sweet, and always redirecting towards the sale:
    "Where are you from?" "The US/GB/wherever. You? And what kind of show do you want to do?" "What city?/What is that accent?/etc." "What kind of show do you want to do sweet heart?"

    At this point, the customer either wises up and drops the topic in favor of moving towards a sale OR leaves the room entirely. I don't look at people like that leaving as a loss. It's culling the herd for people with the potential to actually spend. Try not to worry too much about potentially offending assholes by not playing guessing games and focus on Dat Sale.

    When dudes for some idiotic reason keep going in the convo ("Wait, are you Russian? Have you ever fucked Putin?!"), I recommend just kicking them out for the trolls they are. If they come back, very sweetly tell them "you were being rude. Now did you want to get a show?"

    Guarantee you'll have the bulk of 'em them trained by the end of the week.

    Voice is really important, when I go in a models room and her voice is annoying I leave.

    Thats why I change my voice entirely for cam. Tone, speed, pitch, and also accent.

    The reason I change my accent is because my native language is spanish, but I am not a latina, I am from Spain. But people used to call me a latina and it drove me nuts. So I changed it.

    I realized trying to fight my accent was pointless, I was never going to speak in a neutral american accent. Instead, find a thick accent that you like better and mix in elements of it. I use some posh brit accent: weird As and drop half of my Rs. I emulated Liz Hurley for 2 weeks to get it. Then I threw in a hint of australian accent from listening to aussie models speak. My new accent just confuses people and nobody can place me. When they ask where I am from I say "heaven".

    I avoid talking in freechat for the same reason, people tend to just leave when they hear me talk & i have a sweet accent (not russian tho), they even leave my paid chat when they hear me talking, it's crazy, it's frustrating.
    Some guys really like me when they get to know me & dont mind my accent but some leave right away when they hear my foreign accent, it's puzzling me a lot. I rather not talk and give them the chance to get to like be before they hear me talk lol, it's tiring to type this much and it keeps me near the keyboard always but i prefer this way than them leaving right away cause of the accent.

    aw man thats horrible! even though I'm against some of russia's actions they're hardly your fault and it's not on people attack you for it! ): tbh I personally only type anyway, anxiety stuff and the fact I bloody hate my voice - maybe see if just typing works for you?

    Usually i say that room mates sleeping or neighbour sleeping, it s late night, better to be quiet - if they don t mind. I ask them if they wish to stay in that case. In free chat i just dont talk, i dont care. I dont really like to talk anyway coz i have a heavy accent, but... if i do guys say they like it, and... they think it s cute. Hard to belive but anyway yeah - just talk and do not worry about a thing. For me, it s just the start what feels hard and uncomfortable a bit, soon it s okay.

    ^^^that is a spectacular level of rudeness. pulling that ish in free chat is incredibly disrespectful of your time and your room. I'm with Issa, I'd deal that ish the same way you'd handle any other type of troll. the middle question could be genuine curiosity in some contexts, but not in free chat on a cam site.

    and as if any nation on this planet can lay claim to ethics and decency where the fuck are they from that's so egalitarian and perfect? serious question, would love to move there.

    that said, I have earned a ton of $$$$$ talking politics in paid shows over the years, so if you're down for it with respectful dudes I'd say go for it. it can be wicked cash. they can take you exclusive to do it though, if I were you I'd tell em that flat out (assuming it's something you're comfortable with).

    one other thing, granted it's been a while but I remember when I used to cam big box I'd notice that even via webcam guys could pick on things I was senstive about, prob through my tone of voice and body language. like, if you tense up slightly when a guy asks about your ancestry/location it could be a cue for the trolls in the room that this woud be a fruitful avenue of pursuit in knocking you off your game? not your fault whatsoever, just maybe something to be aware of? (hope that came across as intended)

    I know y'all have it rough on cam. I hear the stereotypes and even see them here from time to time and it's utter fuckery. deal with those idiots like the trolls they are, their issues have nothing to do with you.

    and Russian accents are sexy as hell

    I get the opposite, "you look Asian but you have no accent, or you have an American accent." So, now I use ALL the accents and have fun. Some days I use a thick Boston or German, other days I use broken English with a Korean accent and I keep myself entertained and challenged. 99% of the time, these idiots believe I am using an authentic accent.

    Find the fun and use it to your advantage and if they make fun of your accent throw on another one while telling them to fuck their own popka with a Gatorade bottle.

    lol, Hyori, that's perfect. I have been known to really play up my country drawl before. Most dudes in my room think I'm from the south, which I can neither confirm nor deny. My accent is never faked, but it can be hella deceiving.

    Also, if you feel like sassing the little fucks into submission, I recommend meeting any and all particularly rude comments with something like 'there's a reason I moved. Now, do you want a show?' Sass + sales push. Always. It's my favorite method. That said, yes, I do use the ignore + sales push option when I'm having a rough day and can't summon up my Sass Beast, but the point is to constantly redirect the customer to the point of being in your room in the first place.

    If he really can't figure that out, off with his (little) head!


    P.S. Yes, I second the opinion that the Russian language is beautiful. Blatant objectification issues aside, it gets me hot and makes me wanna have your babies immediately. I mean, Slavic languages in general do it for me. I'm an odd duck.

    I get this all the freaking time. I'm Scottish and I grew up in the countryside so my accent is rather unique. When dudes hear me talk the first question is usually, which part of Scotland are you from? And the second is almost always, what did you vote for in the referendum? I refuse to answer both questions and it can make dudes leave, but I'd rather that that reveal my location or get into a big chat/debate about politics!

    There's a lot of good advice here, but if you feel like blatantly lying about your accent, you could say that you're Finnish. It's one of a couple languages that isn't linguistically related to any other language, so it's not like they can try to talk to you in a related language (like might happen with Swedish/Norwegian or Spanish/Italian). I bet 99.99% of guys in your room will know exactly nothing about Finland, much less have the first idea what a Finnish accent sounds like. If someone calls you out for sounding Russian, you can always say that one or both of your parents is Russian.

    The payers rarely ask much of anything. The guys that talk I have generally let them get out a paragraph or two to see where they're going with it and if it's bullshit I ban. Play or don't. Hi. How are you? What would you like to do today? Anything other than that and it's a waste of my time. Don't feel like you're being a bitch. They don't go to their jobs and work for free.

    The more English you speak and practice, your accent may get less noticeable. So I think talking more on cam will help tone down your Russian accent.

    I would say that you could either minimize your accent by speaking more English. Or you could play up your accent. Personally, I just play up my accent because men have asked me about my accent a lot on cam. But I just play up my accent more to build a more mysterious persona.

    I convinced them my accent is Italian. Although I do speak some Italian, so this can be believed. Maybe if you speak some other language too, you can say it is that?
