I heard it a bit in some of your words, the accent. But other than that, you sound a bit like the newscasters. Btw this is Alexander-Rowe from deviantart.

@JAMEKium Interesting. Just out of curiosity, where do you hear it?

[JAMEKium]

@VulcanTrekkie45 It's mainly when you say words with an "r" in it. It's not that present like the accent most think of when MA is in question. But it's there. Also when you pause while talking and say "ah", it reminds me a lot of my Math teacher who hailed from New Hampshire. So I can hear it a bit, but gotta listen close.

If you are from Mass, why you don't have the accent???

[VulcanTrekkie45]

@royaladam I do have a Massachusetts accent, just not the non-rhotic one that everyone thinks of. That's spoken in my part of the state, but mostly by members of the working class. There are in total about five accents native to Massachusetts.
