They pegged me right, however there are quite a few different Southern accents. Tennessee is different from Alabama and even Georgia where I live has several different regional accents.

I got pegged with Philadelphia, which is where I was raised. Funny, people around here think I have a southern accent. I lived in the south and in Texas for a lot of years.

So I guess it's a mix.

Happy Mother's day!!

I was quite surprised once when one of my blog visitors said they liked my accent after watching one of my home videos. Funny how we never think of ourselves as having an accent.. eh. :-)

Well, seems I'm from the Inland North. Funny, cause in my early twenties after having lived in the South for several years I was recording a housewife character supposed to be from Chicago. I noticed the guys in the control room falling on the floor with laughter. Seems I had a bit of residual southern coming through. Maybe I just soak up the accent of wherever I am. I know a Texas family member said that's what she did. When I hear myself saying "Y'all" instead of "You guys" I know I've slipped into the south again.

SAid my accent was "west" and that people probably can't tell if I am from California or Florida.

I don't think there is a soul alive that can't name a Texan when they hear one....
