The Southern, it's right. But mine isn't as thick as others.

While we are the subject, how do you guys pronounce "Theater?"

I say: Thee-ate- er

But some say: The-it-er

This NY chick always trying to correct me on it. But I be like:

I ain't trying to sound like a New York nikka :jawalrus:

"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.

Your Result: The Northeast


Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

close enough

:manny: It could be accurate, I'm really from North Jersey but I never felt like I really had a distinctive accent. I mean it comes out on certain words or if If I'm rapping but other than that :manny:

The West
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta
