What American accent do you have? (http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_american_accent_do_you_have)
Your Result: Philadelphia
Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

What American accent do you have? (http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_american_accent_do_you_have)
Your Result: The Midland
"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.

Your Result: North Central
"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

Your Result: The West
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.

Your Result: The Northeast
Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Seconded. Back in the nineties I had the pleasure of spending an evening with a young Bostonian woman who was in Chicago visiting relatives. I was all but giggling, yes, giggling like a child, with delight every time I got her to say 'Charlie Chaplin'. It was adorable! Accents can be fun.

I'm told by people from both New Zealand and Australia that I say a lot of words in a funny way, particularly water. That word stands out because more than any other, they always commented on how I said 'water'. So accents are fun for everyone!

Connecticut was kinda my South Bahsten:mrgreen:

The funny thing is here in Australia, we all sound the same, no real different accent no matter which part your from. And when I lived in England I was mistaken for a New Zealander, South Africian and American! So accents can be hard to peg down.

Of course, its just a little island..:mrgreen: Some just pour on the 'Aussie slang' so much more than others.. Kind of a whole 'nother language.. I sure as hell don't understand half of it..:nana:

I worked 20 years in a profession filled with many many Kiwis, Aussies, Brits and even a few South Africans, maybe its more about what they say than how they say it but I can tell them all apart from a mile away,,

We are definitely less than the East coast of Canada...talking about Toronto, not the Maritimes. Let's see how I do, since I've been told I have an unusual voice in that I have the expressiveness of the North of England, as well as a little East coast (until 7 yrs old) then lived in every province west and lived in England very briefly...and I have done voice-over work.

*Does Quiz*

It says I have a Boston/New Hampshire/Maine accent. Never been there!!!

People have mistaken my accent for Californian but never anything from the East!
