Not a regional accent, more a nationality thing, but I notice lots of American TV shows make all Hispanics sound the same, even when speaking Spanish. I remember watching an episode of Archer that involves a gay Cuban man, and his accent did NOT sound Cuban lol it sounded more like proper Castillian Spanish. A real Cuban would have spoken much faster and cut off the Rs
The Texas accent is often overdone, unless played a Texan. There's also a difference between a Texas accent, and a general Southern accent. Hard to explain, but it exists, and they fail to make the distinction, many times. To hear more authentic Texan accents, even when the actor isn't from Texas, watch King of the Hill. The accents are pretty accurate. But the show takes place in Texas and actually tries to accurately portray Texas. Any show thats set somewhere else and involves the characters going to Texas, or a character from Texas (especially if they got a cowboy get up) will have an awful and exaggerated accent.
There's no other city that gets more misrepresented than New Orleans when it comes to accent. Philly is definitely similar to NYC to me, and the New Orleans accent is closest to NYC but they always end up using a typical southern accent.
I don't see this.
Knowing a lot of people from both cities, being close to both urban cultures, I'm not hearing the resemblance to be honest.
Wow, the Philly accent almost sound like a country southern accent. I would not have been surprised if he said in the clip "I gonna warsh ma car." instead of "I'm going to wash my car."

No. That bradley cooper accent sounds nothing like a true urban Philly accent. That bradley cooper accent video sounds like an exaggerated suburban Philly accent with an weird outside of the area twist.
This is an true and natural urban (city proper) Philly accent, which sounds Northeastern to the core.
I don't know if any of you remember that mini-series from the mid-80s, "North and South" starring Patrick Swayze, but everyone in it who was supposed to be from the South sounded like Foghorn Leghorn.
I cringe every time someone makes a joke about me being from "New Joisey". For some reason people seem to think everyone in the state has a Jewish 1950's Newark accent lol.
Lol, I posted about that yesterday on another thread. I am 58 years old, have lived in NJ all my life, and I've yet to meet a person from NJ who says Joisey.
