Foreign Accent Syndrome, it is cool because just because it is but, sad our voice is very important to our identity

Hope she'll get her real voice back, can't imagine listening to yourself and hearing the voice of a stranger

Honestly, my voice is strange enough, though if I were to be affected by it, I'd probably welcome it.

The more I drink, the more I sound drunkenese.

I've heard of this a few times, but not from a migraine

How utterly bizarre it would be to find yourself trapped in another voice - can't quite imagine it.

We have a friend who's accent changed after a serious bike crash involving a shed load of broken bones etc. She spoke with an accent from somewhere like Devon, which she didn't have before, and was quite slurred due to the brain injury. I think it went almost back to normal eventually.
