What American Accent do you have?
Teresa in St. Paul MN has an accent I listened to a girls night out Podcast of her and two other St. Paul MN. REALTORS®
Black Table says the rest of the US all want to sound like "us." "Us" being Ohioan's.
"Not everyone in Ohio speaks with the midwestern nasal twang. Some do. In the Northern part of the state this is certainly the case. But if you move towards the hillier portion of the state, you hear a lot more about warshing dishes and hunnerd dollar bills, but somewhere in the middle everything levels out into a crisp non-accented cadence that is as clear as the words on this screen. In fact, the Ohio accent is the basis of the accent taught to newscasters. Newscasters on the televisual machine, meaning: the Ohio accent is so bland that you wouldn't even know it if you heard it because there's nothing to hear except the words, man. The words."
I think I talk like an Ohioan usually...... this little quiz "heard" the Wisconsin in my voice.
