Army accent. We pick up a lot of different ones from traveling different places, and it all mashes together in one big crappy accent.

I was born in the U.S but both my parents were born in England so my voice sometimes skewers off into a British accent but for the most part it sounds American.

I can do a number of accents. I do a nice Irish (real Irish, not Lucky Charms Irish), Scottish, British, and fake accents (crocidile hunter Australian, Lucky Charms Irish).

North east rural Victorian Australia, but its sound pretty generic

My accent get more Australian, the further away from Australia I get, kind of a sub-conscious defense mechanism. Though I managed to pick up a californian accent when in Italy for a month...

Light Jersey but sometimes a little southern bleeds through and sometimes when I go on about something a few of my friends say I almost sound like David Tennant.

Sydney-sider, with a bit of Indian thrown in the mix... which is strange, since I can't actually speak my mother tongue...

Well spoken British, with a trace of Dutch, esp. when I get squiffy.

I've been once told that I have a Western New York accent, which is strange, considering I'm Canadian.

chronobreak:
Stop the accent threads, seriously, this is getting ridiclous. This isn't even a discussion, it's only a list thread.

Next on the Escapist, "What's with all the hate on accent threads?"

White bread American, nothing special.

Normal US inflections and pronouncations.

I don't really have an accent, but I do notice that when I say some words that end in an s, like this, I'll kinda pronounce it like fish.

I've lived on the east coast of the united states all my life (florida, virginia, maine) so one think kinda negates the other.

Americans don't have accents... duh.

Although I spell with a British accent, I always write colour, honour and, centre. My Language Arts teachers get royally pissed when I do.

I have a Canadian accent, and by that I mean... an anti-accent. There's absolutely nothing special about the way I talk. I don't even say 'eh' that much.

Not sure what you could consider me. I'm in the southern part of Illinois and some say I sound very deep south, and some say northern. I guess it's just if I'm feeling redneck or city boy that day! =)

Is a lack of an accent an American accent?
If so, I've got an American accent.

No, it's called a cosmopolitan accent. I have it, too, though I'd prefer to have a slight scottish trill.

A REALLY shitty mix of missourian and a forced californian accent...I can't get past my redneck roots and still sometimes let a "yall" or a "yahuh" out...

Standard Canadian fare, with a bit of a Scots accent when I feel like it.

I'm a man of many voices. I was born and raised in the UP of Michigan, so I started with a Yooper accent. I went to HS in Wisconsin, so I developed the elongated Wisconsin accent. I've also lived in California for some time, so I've learned to choose my dialect depending where I am in the country.

Fucked if I know. I have been informed it languishes between Brit, Kiwi and Australian, though exactly whic bit of that grey area is up for discussion. Ask Nuke Lassic for more detail, or possibly Doki.

Yeah, I was never quite able to place your accent. It's nice though, kind of soothing.

Well, I'm from Colorado. I guess that gives me an American accent? We say mountain differently than most though...so we're kinda distinguished, right?

colorado for me as well. its certainly not southern, and I wouldnt really call it mid western, part of my issue is that most people in colorado springs are originally from somewhere else, usually california for some reason...

I am accentless. Being greek gives me the advantance of speaking english without a confusing accent. Drop a man born and raised in Yorkshire England in south Texas and he wont be able even to order a glass of water to save his life. Also only women should have accents

oh and for the record, an american accent is still an accent. there's this weird assumption that americans speak regular english while british and aussies have accents. its just two sides of the same coin.

So what exactly constitutes a Californian accent? Someone tell me. I would like to know.
