I have a southern accent, but it's not very obvious, I think. It wouldn't be noticeable at all, if I didn't have to speak vowels. =O
I never really thought I had an accent. I mean, even in the northern-midwest like myself, plenty of people talk like southerners and I don't sound anything like that.
The easiest way to say it is: I talk in the same way that I type.
Unless I'm mad.
I don't have a default accent. It changes according to where I am and who I am talking to. It weirded out Jess' friends because I don't have a British accent talking to them, for instance.
My accent is a fairly typical southern english, but I have a bad habit of absorbing accents, if I'm hanging around people with distinct voices. I'll end up being all scottish, or welsh, or even indian, with prolonged exposure to their accents.
I seem to do this too which I try to watch when I'm at work cause I don't want to seem like I'm insulting the customers... I run into a surprising number of foreigners and people whom english is their second language.
I don't quite know how my accent would be defined cause its not nearly as distinct as other regions of the States. I guess western? Though I've been told by quite a few people I have an English (some would say Boston) accent.

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Bermudians generally have a really distinct accent. Compared to most people my age, mine is rather mild, but if you heard me talk you would definitely hear it.
I *can* talk in the thick Bermudian accent, but it makes me feel stupid somehow :P but I think I have to adapt my accent to my location, because something that might sound normal to me, an american wouldn't be able to understand what I say because it's different.
If someone could give me somethin to read I could probably record myself. I'm pretty bad at spontaneous speaking.
Well, I'm not much of an actor so excuse my dry delivery. Also, 3AM.

Around Scousers or family, my Liverpudlian accent comes out. Otherwise I've been told that I've got a fairly posh voice.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
People have asked if I'm British before, so I assume I've a British accent. Odd, as I've never been out of Australia before.
Like a lot of New Zealanders, my accent is very changeable. When I'm talking, my accent switches depending on who I'm talking to. My grandfather's from Yorkshire so when I talk to him my accent sort of becomes half-Kiwi half-English. Also, sometimes people think I'm mocking them because I copy people's accents when I'm talking to them.
I don't think my Kiwi accent is very strong.
