accntrd- you sound like my friend's mom (Bridgeport, CT)
Supermario, LOL. I thought I sounded something like andre3k (some people said that to me when I lived in TN for a while).
Haha! I guess NOT learning English from my parents worked in the long run. If I had a recording of myself when I was younger, I'd post it, but I had a REALLY thick Filipino accent when I was growing up. We're talking about "dude, what did he just say?" after I said "hello"
If I had to guess, and I DIDN'T read the location tag next to your user name, here's what I would guess.
eek: Definitely NY FlyingWriter: Upper Midwest/Canadian SunnyAve: You were speaking extremely fast, but I would've said NY. mgyeldell: I really couldn't guess. You do have SOME Southern inflections, but I wouldn't know how south I would go. Maybe NC? Iowacountryboy: Don't worry. You don't sound foreign at all. I would've guessed Oklahoma or the Panhandle Region in TX (you sound like one of my friends who moved from Amarillo to LA) AwesomeDanny: Even if I didn't know you, I would've said "Desi" You sound almost exactly like one of my Bengali friends. I would've actually thought you were him. It's the intonation that gives it away. Filimont: I probably learned English from you on the TV BPerone201: I would've said "NJ". The way you said "orange" and "Florida" gave it away for me. My friend who lives out in West Orange says it exactly the same way, and I always make fun of him for it. ScottSummers: Urbanized Southern accent. You sound really cool! Bobbilee: Hmm...this one is hard. You sound a lot like someone who's from rural Pennsylvania, except there are some really distinct southern inflections in your speech. Maybe somewhere straddling the Mason-Dixon line?
I made this video of me talking and, as a regular poster on CD, specifically made an account that didn't have my location on it so that you can hear me speaking without the influence of my previous posts or location. Let me know what you think.
You sound so much like my 3rd grade teacher. Seriously! I already imagine myself saying "I didn't hit him. I was just trying to high five him and he accidentally put his face there!" while you scold me.
mas23;15822111] Its mostly people from like mississippi and part of louisiana that think that, at least the ones i've met thought so.
Mississippi is arguably the most southern state when pertaining to accent. A Chicagoan with a mild south accent is going to sound "proper" to many Mississippians.

Some black californians sound proper tho.
Yeah they do, even the thugs there pronounce their "r's".

Sounds like a Massachusetts, possibly Rhode Island accent.
It also had a Chicago twang to it.
