    My 'accent' has been compared to Africans, Asians, Sylvester Stallone, and Dusty Rhodes by multiple sources.

    I didn't even know I had an accent!

    I sound pretty boring. Midwestern with a trace of a Chicago accent. I don't sound like the Blues Brothers or anything, but apparently you can hear a bit of it when I speak. Just go to my YouTube channel and find a video with me talking in it to hear what I sound like or go to one of my Five Nights at Freddy's Let's Plays on here.

    Silly Brits, thinking they really gave anything to the language. You know, other than words.

    My English is very American and as far as I know I don't have any particular accent beyond that.

    On the other hand I've been told my German is very distinctly Austrian which is weird because it feels like the most natural thing in the world to talk like this >_>

    Here's a Vermont accent. The old man is Fred Tuttle he lived and was a farmer in the same town as my Father when I was growing up.

    Some sort of weird pan-Atlantic accent, people can tell I've spent time in the US, but I'm pretty clearly Bong nonetheless. I'm from basically the same place as Pauw, but with a lot of Norn Iron as well, which throws another baseball bat into the works.

    My real accent is strange and can never be pin-pointed. It's like a cross between North Carolina, Jersey, Nasal Congestion and News Reporter.

    At some point during my childhood I was full on Florida accent and I think that can be attributed to some of the older members of my family's accents rubbing off on me. I pick up accents really quickly especially Midwestern, Californian and Southern accents. When I hang around certain people I start to talk like them. Gift but mostly a curse, halp!

    Same here, but mine's more nasal.

    Standard Western American. I think there is a slight Montana twang (different from the Southern twang) when I get loud.

    I used to use a lot of Pacific Northwest-isms, as well as weird pronunciations from way up there in Puget Sound Land, but I trained myself out of a lot of those when I moved away as a kid and people started making fun of me. xD You never really realize you have an accent until you move away and people point it out to you.

    Puget Sounders make a hard A for the wrong words like "bag". It turns into "bayeguh," and it is horrible.
