I have a neutral accent. Even the newscasters try to imitate me :wink: . Here are my results:

"Midland

("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland. "

My results:

You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for.

That's funny. I don't think I have any accent at all....

Both of my parents grew up in the Bronx. Neither of them have the typical Bronx accent. Funny thing is my older brother thought it was cool so he faked a Bronx accent. We ripped him to shreds. He did live there for the first 8 months of his life so you never know...
