I absolutely hate my voice (though I'm sure everyone hates their own)... i run and hide when people play voicemail or answering machine messages from me.
I don't know how to describe it.... though people tell me i definitely sound like i'm from chicago when i say certain words

I wouldn't say I have an accent just a higher voice. Think little girl that hasn't grown up. A vocalist woman once told me my voicebox didn't grow, but who knows. Anyways, when someone calls they go "is your mommy there?" UGH! And then I proceed with "...no...she died" ha

Lessee... try and picture this:
My voice sounds like it has a Noo Yawk accent thrown in with some Texanisms to thoroughly confuse the locals. ("Hay-ell, lessgeddoudaheeah, y'all".) It's high-pitched enough to confuse people who are talking to me (who don't know me) over the phone that they're speaking to a woman, and consequently address me as "ma'am". (Don't get any f*ckin' ideas -- it DOES NOT sound effeminate! ) Until I correct them.

Ditto that. It's ridiculous. I love the people who launch into a long story intended for my mom right off the bat, and I have to butt in and say she'll be on the line in a second.
In my humble opinion, I sound very high pitched on the phone. (I hate the sound of my speaking voice, too, btw.) People say I sound quite different from my speaking voice. Maybe that's because I'm not really a phone person.
People also say I end a lot of statements on a high pitch, like they're a question.

I have a slight southern accent but unlike most southerners I speak fast. Guess it comes from living in the South most my life and parents from New York.lol

ok, so i should sound like i am from deep south AL, but i don't think i do.....i have a slight accent, but most ppl don't guess i am from as far down as i am. i talk super fast....but it depends who i am around as to how thick my southern accent goes. never do i ever say "liiiike" or "spriiiiite".....i do say "y'all" and all that......
i hate how i sound on voice mails.....

When I am in RI visiting my family I get made fun of for my use of the word "y'all". And when I come back to Texas I am the butt of jokes for forgetting to pronounce my R's. Generally I fall into the accent I am around at the time. It really annoys my Mom who is 100% Texan. But that is what she gets for marrying a Yankee.

I don't really have much of an accent. It depends on who I'm talking to though.. I can have a pretty thick Okie accent at times.

Almost everyone has tinges of some kind of accent. The "norm," if there is such a thing, is called "General American" and sounds mostly like those in the Midwest. However, even Midwesterners (like me) have regional dialects and mannerisms.
I was a TV announcer and disc jockey while in college and people like my voice. It's not terribly deep, but fairly resonant, I guess.
At least the young women used to like it.

People always confuse me and my sister on the telephone. We both have young sounding voices. I guess I would say I have a subtle (eastern) mid-west accent with Spanish undertones.

I have a deep, sexy, and very dominant voice.
As for accent...I sure hope I don't have one.
