OMG what a lovely voice you've got. :D

Aww, thank you! :D

I like "clicker"! Never heard it called that before, but it makes sense. (One of my friends for some reason calls it a "dicky.")

Heeeee. My grandfather used to yell "Where's the goddamned clicker?!" so I think that's where I got it from. XD

Oddly enough, you don't sound all that Southern to my old ears.

Thank you. :D I think I'm sort of self-conscious about my accent because when I lived in New York I used to get ridiculed by my professors for how I spoke. It makes me feel better that I don't sound too twangy to other people though. ^_~

You have a lovely voice (though not as Southern as I thought it was going to be, but still you get the prize for being my favourite to listen to - I love Southern accents). :D

You have a wonderful sweet voice, you should do voice posts more often. I didn't hear too much of a southern accent, but then again, I was mesmerized by the sweetness of your voice. ~_^

I also call it a clicker and you are the only other person I heard call it that.
