Ii would be good if someone would listen to it and identify it.
Then, if it's highly complimentary, I will post it in the database.
I'm not on the big board yet; but you can hear me on WIP Short Works-Horace-Odes 18, 19, 20, 22, 32.

Anfinwen (Anfinwen)
Indiana, US
American, Mid-west
I have family in Minnesota and Kentucky, but I was born and raised in Indiana so my accent is pretty neutral. When I visit family in another state or am around people with an accent I start to mimic them unintentionally. I'm able to do other accents as long as I can find a recording to listen to and mimic.

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to add myself but I wouldn't know exactly I've been told :

You have a strange accent

and

You don't have any accent at all.


But I really think, it's mostly what I would consider a 'soft' southern. (( Of course if I visit home - NC - and start reading it'd be a lot strong)).....

Maybe just generalized american. Is that a thing?

Anyways: Born in Georgia
Grew up half way in Florida ( near the gulf coast )
and Grew up the rest of the way in North Carolina ( central ).
And been back in Florida for 8 years now, so I never had a strong NC accent but it's there every once in awhile.

And like I mentioned earlier, and someone else mentioned in an earlier post: If I'm around people with strong accents ( Broklyn, Southern, Western (texas), even British) I find myself talking like them.
