Me too. I have been told that I had a Southern accent since I was a kid.

Midlander, although I object to anything south of Kankakee being called Southern Illinois. Just on principle.

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.
hmmm... so where did my southwestern Va accent go?

I got the Midland accent, too.  I've always been the Southern girl that talks proper, but I just paid attention in English classes.
A lot of Southerners and Atlantans will be surprised when I say I'm born and raised in Atlanta because I don't sound like it. Whatever.  At least I get joy that people outside the South hear my slight Southern accent.

I'm sorta "generic" California with a little of my home town, NOLA, thrown in. And we call carbonated drinks "cold drinks". We refer to Barq's Cream Soda as "red drink".
A NOLA accent is different, depending on which part of town you're from. If you're from, for instance, the lower 9th Ward, you'd sound like ersatz Brooklyn. If you're uptown, you have more of a southern drawl.
I'm from the West Bank, but I paid attention in English class and am a former broadcaster (and present podcaster), so I really don't sound like a "yat" (as in, "where y'at?", the standard New Orleans greeting.)

Dang, well are all from the mid west and sound like we are from the south!
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The South
That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.
