What region of the US would you say his accent more resembles? Just from merely listening, what would you say?

Southern Midwest

Almost sounds like some Maryland accents I've heard.

Very strange. It's like he pronounces nearly every vowel different from the U.S. standard.

I'm not quite sure what I'd say it was. Honestly it sounds like a cross between a Philly and Southern accent. Reminds me of my great aunt, who's from Alabama but has lived in Philadelphia for 40 years.

Dude sounds like he has a muddled British Isles thing going.

Sounds a bit southern but definitely not entirely. Odd. I got a southern influence more than anything.

I think dude doesn't even sound American at times.
