I am from Alabama, and I KNOW I have a southern twang to my voice. When I recently went to Washington State to visit family, all of their friends kept asking me to "Say Something" lol. I thought they were crazy becuase I didn't realize how southern my accent really is. So where are you from? Or what is your accent? And which one's do you think are sexy??

I love and European accent!!!

    I'm from Alabama too. I grew up in a very rural area of Alabama, and obviously I sound very "Southern".

    I was visiting family in Northern California last summer and everywhere I went people would smile and ask "So, where are you from, because you are not from around here!"

    Most people said they thought it was "cute" or "charming" , however, my husband and SIL didn't get asked this. And they grew up in Alabama too!

    I have a British accent. More specifically, southern. A little west country, a little cockney and because I've been living in the north a few years now, a hint of Yorkshire.

    I love all accents, but I have a thing for Americans. I don't even know why. My first boyfriend was American, so I guess it links back to that.

    I am from KY and have a southern/country accent. Even people from KY sometimes ask where I am from. I don't like it so I try to cover it up, but it comes out when I am drunk or extremely tired. Most people think it's cute, but I think it's annoying.

    I'm from Mn, but I don't think I have the stereotypical Minnesota accent "Dont'ch know"

    I from Alabama too! When I leave the state I can definitely tell that I have one, but sometimes people that live in AL don't think that I am from here. :huh:

    Californian, so none. I can't even pretend to have an accent.

    Mostly southern USA, unfortunately. But put me in a room for five minutes with anyone with a different accent (or speech impediment) and I will automatically start picking up bits and pieces of it. A very embarrassing trait!

    West Coast Canadian. Probably very similar to people from Washington State, in the USA.

    I'm a Canadian. But some people have said I have an accent but they've yet to identify which one. But I have a few American friends who used to ask me to speak French which was always funny.
