Is this just me but does anyone else have a hard time understanding what Gemma is saying? I normally have no problem with British accents but her's I just do not get.

It's o.k. unless she mumbles. I don't think it's supposed to be a Brit accent, I think she's supposed to be from NZ and living in the UK.

it sounds like someone from nz trying to put on an english accent, when the only english accent she has heard is kate winslet when she is being posh. Laughing

I wrote Gemma on her youtube account right after her first vlog came out. I specifically asked her about her accent and this is what she had to say...

I supposed you noticed that Bree has a huge following. We all really like her vlogs. Anyway, I hope you post some more vlogs. We all want to hear more about your past with Bree. Do you have any photos of her as a child? Are you a Kiwi or an Aussie? I can't quite pin point your accent.

i thought that was funny, i might start saying that, not that i own any frocks. there was something else she said. i'm annoyed i can't remember. she should end her videos with toodle pip. Laughing

I particularly liked her repetition of "petrol" in the latest video, myself.

Gemma's accent is the direct personification of what a horse would sound like if they could speak.

No really though, it almost sounds fake. It reminds me of people I know (Americans) trying to sound Brittish.
