What's your accent in normal conversation? I'm sure we have all types here.
Me, I still have the classic Pacific Northwest pronunciation from living in Oregon. That's the accent that's known for being the most plain vanilla of any US accent. :P I have tried to keep it from being muddied by the local Idaho twang/drawl and the mumblytag favored by kids my age around here. Sometimes I slip into a sort of watered-down British clip.

You?

Canadian+Irish+Australian, with hint of British, Russian, and Kansas for good measure.

Eh?

I have a generaly northern accent, mostly because I lived in New Jersey from when I was about 6. I remember when everybody was confused on my bus when I said "Oh look, a quad" when I saw one on someones truck. They call them 4-wheelers here.

Tengo un acento espanol. But most of the time I speak English and I guess I have a caucasian accent.

I kind of sound like a valley girl. Which blows.

I don't know about me but people have commented that my brother sounds british.

Also, I'm from New Jersey. The land of the free and the home of the Atlanta Braves.

I've lived in Georgia for more than half of my life, yet apparently people can still detect an accent from when I lived in St. Louis, Missouri. Then again, it's not like I'm going to start slipping into "ya'll come back now, ya hear?" or anything, hehe.
