I Think Regional Accents Are Interesting

I can only wonder what people with New English accents and Southern accents think of regular American accents like mine; us American accent normies, lol.

@DearAmbellina2113 My first thought when I hear a woman with a southern accent is Hot.

@DearAmbellina2113 Always be proud of where you came from, and the accent you grew up with.

I have a Southern accent so I think mine is normal. Not the rest of y'all. 😀

I don't really have an opinion but yours is the one I try to emulate for speeches, presentations, conferences, etc. Can't give a talk sounding like an Appalachian hillbilly redneck (unless it's about Appalachian hillbilly rednecks) and have anyone take you seriously.

@SwampFlower Interesting! Is it hard to imitate that accent?

SwampFlower · 31-35, F

@Carver No. When I was in college I had a lot of Midwestern friends so I heard it a lot. My accent naturally lost a bit of it's edge over time there but came back whenever I was around southern people again. Anytime I had to do public speaking, I made sure to hang out with my friend from Cincinnati so it would be fresh. 😂

@SwampFlower That’s very interesting! Thanks for sharing. 😄

I usually think I have a typical American accent until I go somewhere else in the States and someone goes “Oh are you from New Jersey?”

I don’t hear it personally but apparently I have a decently thick Jersey accent

@JRVanguard Lol! No one has an accent until it gets pointed out. 😛

Midwest?

@pknein I’m in Arizona

@Carver Oh are there no such things as South Western accents? The midwest is really the accent'normies' of the US... well, some of them are the most neutral accents there are

Carver · 31-35, F

@pknein Not that I’m aware of. Most people just have your standard American accent here.

Southern here

I find Antarctican accents the funniest ... the way those penguins honk just cracks me up.
