The content of the post gave it away, I think, but it still sounds... very Californian. Sounds like someone who would fit in perfectly on a Disney/Nickelodeon sitcom.

I still hear a bit of Minnesotan accent, but it's not as prevalent as in your first videos in this thread. This sounds more natural, IMO, because I've seen others pick up some features of an accent after living in a different place for about a year or two.

Cool thanks! The girl talking is my cousin. She did live in California as a kid and this is what she sounds like when she speaks English.
I don't think you can hear a German accent (?)- but that's where she's from.

Well here's mine. I decided to record myself reading Comma Gets A Cure because rambling is awkward for me. I think this is how I generally sound. My accent is a little stronger when I'm talking with my family & close friends, and it's a little more water-down when I'm in a professional setting. This is probably right in the middle:
Smtchll, your accent is not as thick as I would have imagined. The Southern drawl is still there.
