Well.. I guess I speak with a general American accent when I speak English although I tend to speak with an English accent when I'm really nervous or.. well, pretty much whenever I want to coz I mimic the way people talk easily. I know.. bad habit but it has its priviliges.
I think I speak for all Malaysians when I say that Malaysians do not have a certain accent when they speak English as our national language is Malay. So I seriously do not get people, especially local people, who complain that I or several other people I know speak differently from how they speak. It just... irritates me so much.

What is normal for someone living in the same country as you, can be strange for those living in other regions.

I hate to admit this, but I have a bit of a southern accent(Arkansas-ish). I hate it, too. Luckily, some days I don't sound as southern as other days.

I have an Australian accent and it's quite easy for us to do an American or British accent since the Australian accent is a mix of both. Therefore making it hard for others to imitate it as well.

I've got a British accent. No one else in my family does, even though they're British! *sigh* I never hear the end of it at family gatherings...

Apparently Ohioans have accents... I've never noticed it, but maybe that's because I live here.... haha So I guess I must have an Ohio accent.... but I've been picking up an accent kind of from one of my friends, I'm not sure what hers is though... but it's kinda cool...

English accent, slightly countrified. Think Hagrid, dropping the 't's and stuff. What makes me angry was that when I moved schools I got picked on for it, which is kinda dumb.
