I agree with the bolded part with some exceptions. The 2nd part I disagree with.
i noticed that you pointed out that she had a "urban atlanta/georgia" and i do agree that it's urban. because, generally speaking, people from cities like houston or atlanta aren't really going to talk the same as people from the more rural parts of their respective states/regions
would you mind giving me an example of how you feel words are pronounced differently?
Also, don't forget the subregion accents in LA (New Orleans in particular, but there is also Cajun ), and parts of Coastal/Lowcountry SC/GA (Gullah/Geechee) have distinct accents and dialects. I've noticed regardless of which southern state, in general, the closer to the coast, the slower they tend to talk. The mountain folks talk much faster and nasally. FL has different accents too. My relatives in West Palm talk a bit different from people I knew in Tampa Bay.
In general, Atlanta natives tend to talk faster than Mississippi and Texas folks I know.
I hear "street" pronounced as "screet" way more in MS/Northern LA/Texas than I do this way.
You have a right to feel that way.. There are plenty of people who loves his movies.. I'm one of them so Tyler keep making keep making your movies no matter what people have too say..
I want him to keep doing him, I just want him to do better. He's been making movies for 5 years now. While he has evolved, I still feel he's too hacky and pandering. I'm not saying he needs to make a high-brow art-film (he's too much of a businessman to take such a risk), but I do want him to at least make a movie where I don't feel like he's pandering to people's emotions in such a simplistic manner.

Dallasites and Houstonians pronounce words like there, here, down, over, now and other words differently from eachother.
i want y'all to do me a favor. youtube "PT-still dat" and tell me he doesn't sound like he could be from atlanta lol...he's from longview, texas, by the way
NOLA= Northern Louisiana in this instance? Not New Orleans, right?
NELA, NWLA, CENLA, SWLA, SELA, NO, & BR all sound different to me.

Get a person from Houston and a person from Atlanta to say down. Your going to hear "dine" vs. "dyin'"
Get a person from Mississippi and a person from Louisiana to say car and you get "kah" vs "kawh"
The drawls decrease from east to west and the twangs from north to south, so the individual words have to shift as well.
