Do I have a generic accent?

Post Reply New Topic

I think my accent is very generic and neutral. I know that I could be wrong because everyone thinks they have no accent.

you sound just like people from around here. (SoCal).
i would say it's quite generic, like how American Hollywood stars and news reporters would sound like.
love the glasses btw.

If she says "aboot" for "about," or something close to that, she's got a Canadian accent. This is called "Canadian Raising" by linguists. People from northern parts of the Upper Midwest also have "Canadian Raising."

Sounds General American to me. I'd have to hear more of a sample.
