Where do you think I’m from based on my accent?

I’m really curious where I sound like I’m from I’ve had people tell me multiple different things. I do use several words interchangeably so if I say more than one option that’s why. I’d really appreciate y’all giving my video a listen and letting me know what you think. Thanks

Sentences - I didn’t do that! Did you eat? Pick up some milk from the store, please. I told you I wasn’t going to be late again. Can I get some ice in that?

Fun question. Assuming North America, your pronunciation sounds to me neutral enough to be hired as a newscaster in many U.S. areas. Also suggests to me that you've been working on dropping the parts of your younger "originalspeak" that you don't like anymore.

"Y'all and "all-y'all" have metastasized considerably, but I think they eliminate New England and NY, the PNW, the upper Midwest, the Southwest, the Great Lakes states and Canada;

"Crayon" sounds vaguely Kansan.

"Oil"? Not Texas.

Milk, lawyer, eggs, wash, syrup, oil, "did you eat", etc.--not the Deep South.

I'm going with these mid-Atlantic states: NC, VA, DC, MD, DE.

@katydidnt I have not yet ruled out the Great Lake states.

@Keziah18 Would you use the word "chimney" in a sentence please?

@JohnnySpot I would, yes, if it were necessary to complete the sentence's meaning.

@katydidnt I would bet that Santa Claus knows where she lives.
