I find accents terribly fascinating. But my husband (darling man, love of my life--so I say this with all the love in the world) is fascinated with accents even more.
My guy has a habit of picking up accents when talking to people with them. And then often having a better version of their accent than they do! He has a knack of being able to identify peoples accents down to cities sometimes--even those of people from other countries. He's kind of weird like that. (It's okay he calls me "spooky" about things, so again he knows I say these things with all the love in the world.)
He also spent summers growing up at the family dairy farm near where Missouri and Arkansas meet so he has a hidden accent that slips out when he is very relaxed. He was also a DJ in a former life so he has a "professional voice" which is very rich and full. He was still occasionally a DJ when I met him so that was the voice I heard a lot at the beginning of our relationship.
Having grown up in the Midwest the test results weren't much of a surprise, and I did have a radio show in college. But in honesty, I have gotten a little lazy after over fifteen years in this vicinity. So sometimes you get some "fer's" instead of "for's" and dropped "g's" and some "git's" instead of "get's." So I think my announcer days are over. Ahhhhh welll...anyway:
| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. | |
