Rhode Island is poisoning my accent a bit because I've gone from the slightly nasally "clayssss" for class to a clear New England "clahss". Must work on retaining my accent.

Also, when I'm angry, it comes out like whoa.
I have just returned from a two week holiday to Florida and New York and I must say, New Yorkers have the greatest accents ever! Most of the people I met didn't seem to have this accent though, did I just have terrible bad luck or do only certain parts of the city have it?

All the subway drivers had it though, which was fun when they screamed 'You have to be on the first five trains to go to South Ferry!'. The driver of my particular train shouted this, in increasing volume, about five or six time. It was awesome.

Anyway I have a pretty strong Scottish accent, had to tone it down a couple of notches for the Americans.
