Offbeat by Hannah Paine When Angie Yen woke up on April 28, it felt like just another morning. But when the 27-year-old dentist got in the shower and started singing - something she always did - she was shocked by the sound she heard.

When I started singing I was singing in a different sound and also talking words in a funny accent, the Brisbane woman told news.com.au. Panicked, she phoned one of her friends who was in equal disbelief at Ms Yen s sudden accent change.
