As someone with an accent i always wondered how other people feel about them or their experience having one. Maybe its just me but i always have it in the back of my head while speaking to someone. Im also wondering if imma lose it completely once i move for good. If that happened to u pls share ur experience.

I've lived in southern , U.S. my entire life . Everyone pretty much talks the same . So I never actually think about it ...

@Lyndawifeandmom No - same anywhere; but would your and your neighbours' voices be quite different from those of New York or maybe California?

I can say the same for me, in Southern England, but I'd need go barely 100 miles Northwards in England for others to notice I am a visitor; and I'd probably notice their accent! Go 200 miles and my accent would be even more different still.

(If I travel 100 miles NW I'd be in Wales, with totally different accents and unique syllable-forms to the English ones; even without the Welsh language itself. 100 miles South, I'd need speak French....)
