The passage:

See above those clouds, near where the blue sky appears to fold? Some say it is the entrance to the floating isles where pirates still rule the air and dragons choose to live. Only the most skilled pilots can sail their craft close enough to even glimpse the light coming from within. You can't find those who know the way; they find you. Rather, you four lazy tourists must learn from your books and be ready, so that you may not miss an opportunity to travel to that mysterious place. It would be an adventure that you would never forget. Now, I think that's enough with this pleasurable story telling. Go home and join your aunt - she's cooking fine food!

this is like the epitome of an AMERICAN's accent. it's not quite neutral but very close, it sounds really patriotic to me.. haha i'd imagine uncle sam speaking like you. :)

Thanks. I've always thought that Uncle Sam would sound more like John Wayne, or something from one of the more stereotypical western films.

As someone who has traveled all over the US, and has a good concept of regional dialects, I completely agree, you have a midwestern neutral accent however the funny irony is that someone from North Dakota, Wisconsin or Minnesota would insist that THEY have the neutral accent and that YOU have a southern accent.
