So, I don’t have an accent, but boy, he does!
So, I taught English to Japanese of all ages for five or six years. I tried to speak as accentlessly as possible.
I saw this on one of my favs posts today and thought, well shee-it, I gotta steal that!
I know some native Oregonians that you would never mistake as from bein’ from anywhere else, but on the whole, Oregonians have much less of an accent as, oh, than say, those Texicans have.
And Mainers. Wicked accents there.

(Shhh. Don’t tell anyone I’m from LA)
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.
