I don't know exactly what mine is. DC/Baltimore/NYC generic northeastern US I suppose.

I have a slight Southern twang. It doesn't sound Southern to anyone who has spent time in the South, but to others it does.

I love hearing people's BBC english accent :lol:

yet I don't have their accent... and i'm from there aswell.. :lol:

My accent I would assume is just a typical English accent which is slightly different from the rest, which is on my YouTube, I just can't really seam to describe it... Difficult one for me to explain.

Mine isn't really southern to me when I hear it but I still do have the Kentucky slurring off at the end of a sentence.

Everybody has an accent. It's impossible to be without one.

I guess mines is a pretty typical 'Scottish accent' (although of course there are many different Scottish accents).

Quite a strong central Lancashire accent. More Preston than Blackburn or Burnley.

I've been told I have a weird, subtle one that makes people ask if I'm from Australia. No clue how I got that, considering I'm from Wyoming.

Mine is that used in most Hollywood movies. I especially like how Ben Baily from Cash Cab and Alton Brown from Iron Chef America talk. Actually I just like listening to American hosts speak in general. If they can enunciate their Rs, Ts, and Q-U-Es then it's all good, cuz I do too.

Oh, when I think about it, my all-time favorite accent is the same Weird Al Yankovic uses. I love his singing voice! Woot!

(On the other hand, most of the time with my family and any close friends, I just mumble.)

I talk with the "radio announcer" accent (think Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, western Pennsylvania, and western New York).

Strange for a fifth-generation Texan, isn't it?
