Other than Ryan Seacrest or Ty Pennington, both Georgia natives mind you, I don't understand your reasoning. Zac Brown is a country singer who has lived in Georgia his entire life. The kids are definitely not entertainers. What do you make of that? They're not real people?
By the way, I posted Jason Aldean and Billy Currington, both of which have obvious southern accents, as does one of the politicians.
Here's Alex Kendrick, Atlanta area native who moved to Albany, Georgia in southwest Georgia. This is a typical southern accent, typical to what you hear in Dexter, MO
Do you really, honestly believe that anyone that aspires to be a professional singer does not take singing lessons?
Do you know what professional level voice lessons entail?
Do you not think that the major labels dont groom the people they are going to sign to appeal to a wider audience?
Because if you dont think thats true, then I have some lovely beachfront property to sell you.
But I dont think you are really that naive.

Some do take voice lessons, but Ryan Seacrest never did. We're close to the same age, and I remember him on Star 94 when he was only like 17 or 18 years of age. Star 94 is a Top-40 format station in Atlanta. He sounds pretty much the same way today that he sounded then. Thus, I really doubt he had lessons. Seacrest grew up in Dunwoody, Georgia. I'm telling you that it is not uncommon for many young adults and youth in the region to have either a light southern accent or none at all.
Ty Pennington may have had lessons, but who knows.
Zac Brown hasn't had lessons. The guy worked small clubs for many, many years. He sounds much the same as he always has. He sounds like he has a light southern accent.
Jason Aldean and Billy Currington have obvious southern accents, typical to their areas of the state.
Alex Kendrick is a director of Christian films, based out of his home church, Sherwood Baptist, in Albany, Georgia. Kendrick grew up in Atlanta suburb, Smyrna, I believe. He's been instrumental in the production of the films "Fly Wheel", "Facing the Giants", "Fireproof", and "Courageous". He hasn't had voice lessons. He has a typical southern accent of modern times.
Most people in the Atlanta area have southern accents, but I'd say only around sixty percent of the population. Amongst the youth, only around forty to fifty percent do, and most have a light accent. I don't celebrate this, but it is reality. However, if you leave the metro Atlanta core, you do hear obvious southern accents even in the youth, much typical to the Dexter, MO clip.
That said, most of the accents you hear aren't the strong drawl that was stereotypical of the region some fifty years ago. The strong drawl only seems to be typical in a high percentage in older adults (over 50).

You know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the stars that you claim havent had any kind of formal training whatsoever how, exactly?
I'm sorry, but that is simply NOT true.
To say otherwise is being disingenuous, or worse.
Please dont be that guy.

So those boys, who look like they're about fourteen or fifteen years of age are being disingenuous? Ryan Seacrest at one time was their age growing up in the same region. If those boys are for real, who is to say that Seacrest is not and that he hasn't had "formal training".
Listen. I gave you numerous examples. I can find plenty more. It backs up what I hear on a fairly regular basis.

I wasn't referring to anyone in the videos being disingenuous, and I believe you know that.
I was referring to you.
I made reference to the youtube accent tag vids, looks like you ignored it.
Look what I found;
