I have the generic/news reporter type of American accent. Not Southern, not Jersey, not New Yorker...just generic.

I have a... Northern? Accent. I'm a Michigander in de U.S.  You should hear my parents' accent. They're from Taiwan, so it's pretty thick, but they're adjusting and their English is loads better than most people.

Live in Florida but family is from south carolina.
I was born in Spain but on a navy base.
So, I have a slight southern accent but I hide it well.
I decend from england and wales from my ancestors [there is a park in england with my last name that is very popular as the people were royal]
and so I can easily bring out a british accent.

| Sanctuary Abnormal | HuffRavSlythDor | Guard Badger ♥ | Stargater | Awaiting Culling See now I don't think I have a specific accent.
I'm from Hampshire (England) and the only accents I hear that are different from mine here is the "ooh ahh,Hampsheer" ones that the farmers can have! lol ..Seriously,though,they don't all speak like that. 
I guess I'd just be classed as a generic English accent.Pretty boring and bog-standard. |

So yeah, I've got a very unimpressive accent too. It's an English accent but it's the most boring version of the English accent you can have!

I have a southern accent. It's pretty much noticeable everywhere I go.

Well, my accent in english is sometimes not noticeable, and other times you can't miss it.
But people never seem to guess where I'm from.
The most guessed was Hungarian.
Freaky.
Still cool though.

It's complicated.
I grew up in a mostly english city, but didn't learn English until I was 8. This resulted in my French sounding English, and my English sounding slightly French.
My English does sound mostly Canadian, but I often make idiotic pronounciation mistakes. I used to say cuh-tee-gur-ees instead of categories.
When I say my French sounds English, I mean that if I go to Quebec or France, they'll think I'm English because of my accent.

Well, after spending 7 years in a British school, I picked up a British accent. It's an equal mix between posh English and cockney.
But now, since everyone that speak English around me have an American/Israeli accent, my own accent is americanifying (is that a word?  ). I'm completely immune to the Israeli accent for some strange reason. I live in Israel, so... 
My accent right now is Posh/American/Cockney... That looks terrible, but I assure you that I'm very understandable...
