Yup, you pretty much have to use accents, I just have a hard time modifying the tone while I say the word. I'm practising, but at this rate, I'll be able to read and write using simplified a lot quicker then properly speaking Chinese.
I'm sure you can also guess I cannot sing, I sound like I'm speaking when I try to.
