First:



Second:



Third:



Only of those two choices. Pick one. As you can see, none of these people are putting on an accent. Just vote which one they sound CLOSEST to out of the choices for which region their accent can pass the best.

I would definitely say Midwestern. A true southern accent has a certain "draw" to it. When you hear someone truly from a southern place (like Nashville, TN or The Louisiana Bayou) you automatically catch it.

Midwestern is a huge mix of things, and Bam Margera is from Pennsylvania if that tells you anything.

If you want to hear southern, listen to Jeff Sessions. Or Bill Clinton. Nothing like the above.

Mid-Atlantic if anything. 1st one might be a little mid-western (like Ohio or Western PA) but definitely not southern. 2nd sounded mid-atlantic or Jersey with a hing of some kind of European accent. Third was definitely mid-Atlantic.

None of them sounds southern or Midwestern. The closest would be 1 which might be somewhat Midwestern but sounded pretty neutral to me. 3 is definitely East Coast. 2 sounds like a foreigner.

Lmao #2 is Bam Margera, born & raised in West Chester, PA. When I hear him, I hear a weird mix of like Boston & Midwestern.

Are we watching the same video? I'm watching a man named "Jonny Giger" talking about Bam Margera. Jonny Giger sounds Eastern European to me.

I never actually watched video #2, I saw Bam Margera as the main picture and figured it was him talking, and I've heard him a million times so didn't feel the need to watch.

But if it's a different guy talking about Bam, then I would be mistaken. Whoops

To clarify, Bam Margera is the guy whose accent is in question.

Midwestern or Southern are the choices.

They all sound northern, not southern, though the second guy sounds kinda Eastern European.
