Three guesses as to what you do in this thread, first two don't count.

My accent is, simply put, north Jersey. I mix in a bit of Queens/Long Island considering I lived there, too. Strangely, I've never adopted any part of the Carolina accent, but I do use Southern slang (such as "y'all," though I've been saying that for years). Apparently, I do not know what the "-er" sound is.

My accent is Southern Californian. But I also add southern slang such as ya'll, and I've been told I have a horrible lisp when pronouncing words with "th."

It depends where I am

In New Zealand people say I sound American

In America people say I sound Kiwi

I'm convinced that I am neither and that I speak with a hybrid accent between both

Gotta admit, I'm picturing you speaking with the "Jon Stewart voice".

Am I at least somewhere in the ballpark?

For me, this is pretty accurate for every attribute that doesn't give a list of applicable regions where Western Washington isn't included. Also, I'm pretty sure I don't have Canadian raising. (And I don't know what the hell that "str as shtr" shit is either.)

I'm not entirely sure what mine would fall under, but I never learned how to properly pronounce th or th (EX: three/free, that/vat, etc.).

I'm a Midwesterner who used to live in Northern Illinois, but now lives in Central Illinois….. So I guess it's safe to say that I have an upper midwestern accent or something. I pronounce things lazily and informally, saying things like "Didja eat?" "Didya eat?" or "Did yih eat?" Instead of "Did you eat?" The "or" sound is sometimes pronounced as "er" (ferever" instead of "forever" "yer" instead of "your"). I also tend to fuse words together. "Have to" becomes "hafta" or "havta", "going to" is "gonna"…

Though…. Despite being in the Midwest….. I call what some might call "pop", "soda". And everyone around me calls it "soda" too. So it's really weird when I see all these Midwesterners on the internet swearing on their mother's that "It's pop! Not soda!", but I'm a Midwesterner and everyone says soda. I also don't pronounce aunt as "ant", but everyone else says "ant", so that's not as weird to me.

Southern California, Monotone.

I have a LOUD euro-can accent that tends to annoy most. Not the best when I find it hard to control myself with talking.

It's pretty much ear-grinding to listen to.

Whatever the bland-as-plain-bread central California accent is, though I stutter a bit. Not enough that other people have pointed it out, though.

Southern Californian if we're talking about location wise, but many have described it to have a sort of proper English or British to it.

Somewhat of a mix between Philadelphia ghetto and typical teenage gamer. That's the best I can put it.

Those who have either been or listened to the podcast know my accent pretty well.

Incredibly slavic.

I have a high pitched Australian-American voice that maybe somewhat affected by my Asperger's. I also have an issue pronouncing "l" sounds.

Southern Californian, whatever that means.

Undetermined West Coast.

It's definitely from the western coast of the united states, but where along that coast, is anyones guess.

I'm from the Philippines, but every person I've talked to always say I have a charming "American" accent. I'm still not sure what they mean by that; America is huge with different accents from different regions. I think they just mean I pronounce the words without 'spitting them out' like the typical Filipino. (e.g. Normally, the word Backpack turns into 'Buckpuck'. "That" turns to 'dat'.)

Lately people have been saying I sound like those young-ish anarchist terrorists in the parkas from Counter Strike: GO.

Generic Western United States Accent

West American, but with little inflection.

A little bit of speech impediment, a tad bit persian and no r's and you have me.
When I say R I skip it to create a weird "filling in".
So when I say "Great" I say "Geueat" or something like that. Sometimes you hear it sometimes you won't.

Thai accent which I pronounce English better than 3/4 of whole Thailand
Most Thai ppls say 'yes' but they often pronounce 'yed' which mean 'fuck' in Thai
And sometime they confused another accent becuase its not their accent

(dont even think about german)

I don't think I have an accent. While I do come from Kansas I don't sound anywhere near like the hillbilly accent. But I have a monotone American voice I guess.

Horrible

I'm Dutch, take a wild guess.

Generic New England accent, not Bostonian.

Quite a strong Southern English, so semi-posh sounding.

But don't mistake that for posh, I do have some more "working class" phrases and words and vocal stuff.

Generic Western US for the most part, my voice usually changes depending on who I'm talking to and the context and stuff though. At times I sound like a stereotypical teenage gamer dude while at others I sound like a California girl. My female lisp isn't that strong to where it's silly but it's still detectable. I also use literally in nearly every sentence to add to it and sometimes add hella. Not entirely sure where I picked that up from, probably some friends. And all of this is bound to change as I try to make my voice more and more lady-like over time.

Since half of my family is in the midwest I can do a spot-on midwestern/Southern woman accent that shocks people at times along with a pretty solid English accent that still sounds fake but to people in the US they can't tell the difference. For some reason I've never been able to do a latin accent even with that being half of my family and talking to people with that accent all the time.

I'm from Michigan so my accent is kind of a cross between the standard American accent that you see in movies and a Canadian accent. A lot of the time I end up combining words and dropping the ends of them, or words just come out lazy like in this guide to the Michigan accent. Like "Tuh": to, "I-munna": I'm going to, "Cloze": Clothes, "Cranz": Crayons, "Graage": Garage, "Granrapis": grand rapids

My accent is a calmed down version of Gandalf's mixed with Bill Murrey's and a tinge of Robin Williams.

Considering that I live near Chicago, I'm exactly the same, but I actually do call soda "pop." Other than that, what you described is exactly how I talk.

Also, I pronounce "marry", "merry", and "Mary" exactly the same.
