Looks pretty damn good to me...


What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

My Results:





Midland

("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.

I guess I have the "non-regional diction" broadcasters practice all the time.
