What is your accent like? Upload an audio?

I am from Brooklyn originally, but spent the last 3 of 4 decades in the south. I have this weird muddled accent now. Kind of nebulous, with a lil southern twang and a few New York rough edges.

Anyways, this is what I sound like.

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvsnc6NCJp8] (around 1:50) this is close to how I sound. My accent is nowhere near as strong as it was though it still lingers.

@plague There is a part where he goes "err errr rrrr" while pausing to think. I am guilty of doing that all the time.

@DanielChristensen I did notice the Christensen part and thought hey that's Scandinavian but I did not want to make assumptions. Hello, fellow nordic brother.

@Fernie Lol! I just got done saying that analogy for the New England accent in a PM. No I rarely say y'all but I do have a bit of a twang or drawl if you listen for it.

I too was a New England'er that moved to the South. I still carry my Boston accent when I'm mad, but speak with a low tone southern accent mostly all the time.

A wonderful recording, you have a fine voice, sonorous, rich.

This is possibly the closest I've found to my accent---I have the adult version of it, anyway.
