Datheus Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I got the midland too. I actually have a strange blend. I'm from Vermont, and people in Vermont talk kind of funny compared to the rest of New England. It's not very noticeable, but a few words here and there are just kind of.. off. Combine that with being near Canada, the big New England cities, and then moving to the south, my pronunciation can be all over the place. Down here, I'm made fun of for how I say things like "car". That's right. I park the cahr in the Hahvahrd yahrd. Though, when I visit my friends in New England, they like to give me a hard time for sounding southern.

TiE23 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Your Result: Your Result: The West Hellz yea! I was born in Southern California and came to Washington when I was 13/14 three years ago. Top accent influence. The Midland Boston North Central The Inland North Philadelphia The South The Northeast Random: When I'm lazy I talk like I have a slight stereotypical English accent.

Titanius Anglesmith Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Mine was The Midland with nothing else coming close to it except for The West. I guess that's pretty accurate, me being from Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'm from Philadelphia. Except I'm not, I'm from Norway. Oh well. I don't have an accent, I just pronounce English properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetheeskimo Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. Makes sense, most Coloradans don't have noticeable accents. That's what I got too, although I live in the Northeast. I guess by "Northeast" they're thinking of Maine accents...? The funny thing is, a Northeastern accent was very last in the rankings. Southern accents kinda start to piss me off after a while... LOL. - PR-0927 Same here, but it's not like it's their fault. OOC: How long have you been PR-0927? I must be out of the loop...anyway, it's a bit harder to remember than Majin Revan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I've been told repeatedly that I talk like Arnorld Schwarzenegger, so just listen to him. Or maybe they were referring to my enormous muscles. Or maybe not:p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenjuu Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I don't have an accent, I just pronounce English properly. Rawfull, this made me laugh. In otherwords, you have an English accent. I got THE WEST, also very close to THE MIDLAND, BOSTON, and NORTH CENTRAL. I'm not American though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, after hearing clips of my voice from my teenage years, one would swear that I was a SoCal surfer. Pfff, never considered being a radio jock.
