Whenever I’m reading posts on here that other people have posted I have a strange tendency to read them in an accent that I think applies to the poster.
Two examples for you…
Bloomfield: Bizzarly I read his posts in a rather eccentric upper class British accent 
Amar: A mixture of a Edinburgh accent with a continental twist
I am increasingly finding this more disturbing as each day passes
Maybe it’s just the voices in my head that I’m hearing
Dale sounds like a turtle to me and Bloomfield sounds like Charlize Theron - no foreign accent at all, even though she should have one. Don’t know how true that is.
I suppose there is an association from the posters avatars to their accents in my head…Cranberry you sound very strange indeed 
… and you sound kinda Russian and out of breath, hehehe. 
I do talk strange - just ask Jerry Freeman. I can’t understand myself, sometimes.
I meant Whistling Willie (note his avatar). But I don’t mean to imply that you don’t talk strange; we all have our pride, after all. 
Not anymore after your help Bloomy 
…well..maybe just a bit
Is it called pride now?
I would just like to take a moment to assure everybody that is not the sort of help you think. All entirely above board.
Oh dear,I’ve let the cat out of the bag now

Fortunately, being from California, I have a normal accent, like the kind on TeeVee. Sorry about the rest of youse.
ah don’t know whaut yer talkin’ aboot, laddie. 
I prefer to think of the mid-midwest as the “normal” accent. California is such a melting pot there is no real accent.
Although I met a girl from CA who said, “Dad” like “Dod”. We thought she said “dog”.
As a child we moved to Irving Texas. My friends laughed because I pronounced the “L” in “Wolf”. They found other dialect differences funny as well. It wasn’t long before I talked just like them.
When I moved from Long Island (near New York City) to the Rochester, NY region, all the kids in my second grade class would make me say things like “orange” and “drawer”. I remember my relatives commenting on the strange way Rochesterians would say “creek”, “roof”, and “amen”
Everyone here sounds like me in my head. Which is to say like John Huston because that’s who I sound like.

Well…not really.

I sound more like a nasal Eddie Haskell.
“Good evening Mrs. Cleaver. My, you look lovely today.”
In my case, truth be known, you need to be hearing a deep voice with a southern USA accent. Kinda Bill Clinton on steroids. We grew up about 20 miles apart.

I’ve lived in or around Cincinnati all my life…
People from “north” say I have a “southern” accent.
People from the “south” say I have a “northern” accent.
But what can you expect from a city that puts it’s airport in another state? 
Ok - Cincinnatians do have one weird thing common to their speech. If they don’t hear you or want something repeated, they say “Please?”. Supposedly it comes from the heavy German influence that was in this area (at one time, over 60% of Cincinnati’s population, myself included, were of German descent).
And then there’s that whole “warsh / wash” thing…
Oh - I have a slightly deep voice for a female.

I sound like I’m chronically choking on a bowl of cornflakes.
Around these parts, we have a Sargento Cheese commercial, where the guy who owns the place says “our family’s paaaasion is cheese” with that nasally Wisconsin “a”.
I make fun of him every time I hear it, mocking that “paaasion”.
Evidently I’ve done it so much, I’ve picked up that “a”, because the folks here at work (Irving, TX) make fun of me for my Wisconsin A at least once a day..
Do unto others and all that
