I'm from the U.S. and you sound authentically American . Most British people overdo their "r" s or just do some silly valley girl type accent and call that "American"

Enjoyed your different American accents. Yes, we ARE all gay mafia members.

Duh. I know that. Hence the quotes. It is incorrectly referred to as "no accent" in the US. Naturally, that is a misnomer.

@cwaitt -- I realized when I took the kids on vacation to Pigeon Forge that the Appalachian accent was bascially the same as the Southwest Georgia (farming and working-class white) accent. Most of us are descendend from immigrants who left Appalachia and moved into Southwest Georgia in the wake of the Indian Removals (Trail of Tears) of the early 1800s.

@withextraonions There's no such thing as "no accent", just the accent that is most commonly recognised and, therefore, represents the country, such as Queen's English in England and Bavarian for Germany.

@JohnSmithAprilMay It's mostly due to the Roman; Saxon, Jute and Angle; and Norman occupations, in which some settled in an area and practically isolated themselves from the rest of the country.

That was a great Philly accent. I would have loved to have heard you do a Maine or Mass. accent, and you did a Texas accent as a "southern" accent, but those from Georgia and West Virginia are both different. I think there is one in the Missouri area that makes everyone sound like a know-it-all, but I admit to limited access to that demographic. There's one for Boston as well.

your first go around sounds as if you have the flat philadelphia accent. nicely done.

[twelch39933]

Very thoughtful of you to try to redeem yourself rather than be stiff necked and demand to be right. Very nice accents though. Keep it up dude.

We're not as diverse as England, since we haven't been without fast travel for as long as you guys, but there's a ton of accents. In my state, Wisconsin, we have at least three or four main ones and a few variations. The general American thing you speak with, and quite well, is like BBC English. It's what we think we sound like in our heads, but it really isn't, it's just a way to keep newscasts as comprehensible as possible.
