    I have a little bit of southern twang on certain words and the speed of a southerner. Whenever I visit my family in Virgina they constantly ask me to slow down because they can't understand a single word I am saying!

    But overall I am a southern girl :tongue:

    Jamaican but not the streotypical Jamaican accent.

    Ps I don't know why a lot of Americans think they don't have an accent. If you open your mouth and speak you have an accent.
    Why do you think every other country in the world has an accent and you don't?? Crazy!

    You have an American accent! I sound weird to you and you sound weird to me.

    I think it's because if another American heard me speak, they would have no idea where I'm from. They would know I'm probably not from the South, Boston or northern Minnesota but that's about it. To foreigners, all Americans have an American accent despite the vast differences in the types of speech in the US so I'll give you that. To you, we all have an accent but to each other it's not so obvious.

    I am from Southwest Virginia and yes I have a southern accent. Kinda a southern drawl. I can't help the way that I talk but everyone loves it. Personally I love to hear an Irishman talk I think they have a very sexy voice.

    I am from Virginia and have a southern accent. Certain words the accent is more southern that normal. My husband has told me there are times that I talk too fast.

    How would one describe a Californian accent? It sounds so plain. Like the base accent for everyone. I do notice that when I speak I say "like" and "dude" alot.

    I'm really good at mimicing accents, I can listen to someone talk for 10 minutes and copy them pretty closely. I do it accedentally on the phone at work. Especially with Australian accents. I think those are my favorites. Then its British accents. Then Cajun. My cousin lives in "Nawlins" (New Orleans) and she can do a Cajun accent pretty good. She tries to copy my California accent and I her Cajun, but its always off for us.

    SoCal with a dash of Austinite. I've only been out here a little over 3 years, but when I get angry or talk over the phone, I get a bit of a drawl.

    An older gent at the store told me that "I talk like a Yankee, but sound like a Rebel."

    Standard American. And very loud, slow, and enunciated. That's from living with my hearing impaired parents and not wanting to repeat everything. Now the same thing is happening to my kids due to my hearing impairment. My family adds to the 'loud American' stereotype.
