Which American Accent Do You Have?

Here's a bit of frivolity for you. Do you have an accent? I've never thought that I do, and this little test bears me out. I pretty much sound like anyone you might hear on an ordinary TV show. There are a few words that leak out, especially if I'm not trying to annunciate: "pilla" for "pillow," "ott" for "ought," "udder" for "utter."

I've been a Nevadan for over a dozen years, and frankly most people here sound like me too. But I'm from Ohio, and we do have tells. Fortunately, I've broken myself of saying "pop" for "soda," and "sack" for "bag," which would peg me as an Ohioan--well, to other Ohioans. Here's where I rank. What about you?

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.
