Coming home to visit, I couldn't help but record my neighbors on my digital camera to remind me of what I sounded like before I was "re-educated."

Pardon the shots of my crotch---I didn't want to be discovered recording...

This was recorded in the summer of 2006 in Lakeport, Madison county, right on Oneida Lake. (NE of Syracuse)

  • I'm from Canandaigua N.Y. and this guy sounds like my grandpa! I only have a little of the accent.

  • I grew up in this area. This is not Central NYS accent only its an upstate accent. I was born and raised in Troy NY and everyone sounded this way. Even more so around Oneonta, NY. I've lived in NYC for more than 2 decades but I still carry this sound although it's subtle.

    We thought of ourselves as Knickbocker Yankees even though Yankees are traditionally from Vermont, Ma, NH, Maine, and Ct. i will always love home.

  • Holy shit I love it. I'm from Auburn but I've been living in MA and VA in the Coast Guard the past year and a half, this stuff makes me feel like I'm home.

  • @welleslywon1 haha wow dude, you put the line right on my house. haha but i hear Albany talk more like this than downstate.

  • i live in colonie (Albany county) and when i worked at a grocery store (this guy mentions Price Chopper, i worked at their direct competitor Hannaford before enlisting in the Navy) i noticed alot of the older people talk like this. but you got to think the younger generation no matter where you go will be varied due too TV.

  • I live between Binghamton and Oneonta, sounds just like the locals around here.

  • Sounds drunk.... I hear no accent lmao

  • I'm from cny lol I don't hear an accent

  • @chris518ny Drive west about a half-hour to forty-five minutes.

  • what accent
