not new, but still fun ...

and: startlingly accurate. [because, duh, i DO have a good voice for TV and radio (a "perfect face for radio," a kindly drama teacher once told me, aw shucks ...).] no, but because of the whole where-i'm-from thing. born and raised in minnesota, lived out west for four years, then have lived in the south for four years ...? how DID THIS QUIZ KNOW THIS?? i tried to be crazy-truthful and not answer anything to make me sound like anything other than I AM.

whatever. have fun and try it and tell me if it was scary-accurate for you, too.

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.

josh took it and his was midland, too (or so he said). but he does do the whole pen/pin thing all the time, so it has a southern touch to it ... i had this kid in class today-- holy SHIT, it was like something from another decade, wow. :) super-heavy southern accent. adorable of course. from chesterfield co, SC ... not too far from chester co., huh ... ;)

I got North Central. Haha.

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.
