I have one of the wierdest accents ever. English, while my most fluent language, was my second, and I learned it between Baltimore, MD and Houston, TX. I have the oddest drawl and pronounciation, and unless I'm imitating another accent consciously, there is no hope of me loosing it. I've had two voice coaches give up on me, and one simply try to teach me to be British. That was funny.
All that being said, I have a real ear for English. Generally, I can place people in their state and region from around the Eastern Seaboard, throughout Texas, and in most of Britain. I can also place people by their French. There's a lot to be said for learning multiple languages growing up. Even if I can't loose my Baltimore/Houston accent.
