my best friend is english. i don't even hear her accent anymore I've known her for so long.

Is it too late to get an application for being a contestant here?

Edit - Doh, check the announcement. Silly Zweres.

@Ry: I realize that it'd be strange and all, but I am SO not going to make a long distance call to the Philippines just to hear the Filipinos fail at American accents and get in trouble with my parents for making a random long distance call. XP

So I kind of thought it'd be more reasonable to have you film strangers.. XD;

Everyone thinks I have a European accent. I'm regularly asked where I'm from, and if I say St. Louis, they reply, "No, where are you really from. Originally." And when I give them my full history (Washington D.C., Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, New York, Boston), they say, "Hm. That's weird. Where are your parents from?"

Wow cami really has moved alot. o.0

Cora has never left new york she is afraid.

Cami, your accent is hard to place. You've pretty much just kind of adapted and added parts of all the different accents you've accumulated growing up into one.

Where in New York Cora? Because if it's in NYC, you can live anywhere. Nothing is as busy as NYC.

Naw, I live western new york. Near Buffalo, in a small town no one has ever heard of....even the people in Buffalo dont seem to know we exist T.T

Awe. Thats kind of cute though. Reminds me of where my family is from in Oklahoma. Its the smallest little town I've ever been to in my life. It doesn't even have a grocery store in it, its that small. Or at least, they don't have a really great grocery store. Its kind of dinky and small. More like a large gas station with a very limited selection. You have to drive 45 minutes to get to the nearest town for things like Walmart or anything like that.

Lol, you pretty much just described my home town lol, we have a small little quick stop store that sells little....and a pharmacy. We do have a school but its really small and off the charts....its a school for the country kids and are small town. Nearest Grocery store is half hour away....and my work is a good 45 mins.

There are actually a few different kind of American accents. There is the basic kind, the southern kind, and the ones in like the Brooklyn area and New York. I'm sure there are more, too. And then you have a big load of every race that lives here, so there is a very large amount of accents here. lol I dont think I really have an accent. I know when I was younger I kind of had a hick sound, but that wore off.

I live in a really small town. We have schools here, though. A tiny little gas station, and a little store that has overpriced stuff. A post office. There are some odd little shops, too, but they're old and everyone usually forgets they're even there. And we recently got a small bank, and we have a little cafe

I think its funny that anyone not from New York can tell I am from New York o.0

I dont think I have an accent XP

Haha. You probably do if everyone can tell.
I think New York accents are pretty distinct, really. I've met a few and it gets hard to understand with the guys. lol

lol, I will state you are probably thinking NYC and Brooklyn Accents. The rest of New York has a much softer accent. xP

It gets you an awful lot of strange looks in georga though o.0

I live in one of the fastest growing cities in the US. I don't know why people flock here, but they do. Which is unfortunate because they just take up jobs that there aren't enough of in the first place, and the roads are exceedingly full of traffic. I can count 14 starbucks within a two mile radius, not that I'm complaining there, but still. There are also two walmarts within a three mile radius, at least 5 mcdonalds within two miles, a target, barnes and noble, lowes, home depot, sams club, at least 10 grocery stores multiple apartment complexes, two libraries, a baseball stadium (spring training really, its not that fancy), a community pool, multiple parks. They crammed a lot of stuff into a few square miles, let me tell you. My graduating class had almost 800 seniors in it even.

I have a friend who was born and raised in upstate NY somewhere. I forget the name of the town, but she lived there for 12 years. Her whole family is from there, and it still sounds NY enough for me to tell that its from that state.

I would die in a place like that....I am terrified of large crowds.

Lol, we do have accents but most people can understand us, most of the time. Even I have trouble understanding people from brooklyn sometimes though o.0

Once you've learned to understand a really thick English accent, I think you can understand any accent haha.

I love big cities, and crowded areas. I feel safe knowing that I'm not alone when I'm surrounded by a lot of people.

First I get the feeling of being lost and confused....then my head starts spinning and I start experiencing tunnel vision....then I start to cry and get more confused.....after that I either pass out or throw up....one of the two......The whole time experiencing extreme panic.

Not really a pretty site lol.

Yeah. I had said above the Brooklyn was one. And I have met some New Yorkers with no accent. But my old college bus driver has a really strong accent and he's from New York. So I figured that at least some areas must get them. There is a guy in my history class that sounds like he might be from the area. Sounds kind of like the Brooklyn accent, but his isn't quite so strong. Can understand him for the most part. lol

I like my little town. We dont have much, but it stays rather quiet and there isn't much traffic. :3
lmao We only had like 42 kids in my graduating class. Less than 160 students in all of the high school.

I went to school in the nearest town, not the school around the corner. I had 200 kids in my graduating class...I think my sister graduated with some 35-40 kids though.

I liked having so few students, but I really hated that we had very very few options for our classes. In being such a small school, we only had the basics and very little beyond that.

I think I had some 500 kids in my graduating class. That area has been growing like crazy. They recently built a second high school.

My area has three high schools, with a fourth opening for the next school year. Its crazy.

Wow. o.o Is that all one city?

I like german accents :drool:

And I don't think I have an accent, but I do pronounce a handful of words kinda strangely. Like "fourty" and "milk." (foartay and melk, respectively)

I have a great-aunt from Minnesota who can't say "oil" (and knows it). It comes out like "orrryl." xD

If she has to get it changed, when she calls a mechanic she'll be like "can you just check the motor lube?"

Yeah, just one city. There's about 120k people in Surprise, and a lot of families have high school aged children. All the high schools have excess of 4k students in them, so they're trying to spread it out a bit more to make schools less crowded and stuff. And there are a lot of kids who come to our schools from out of district because we're the closest high schools that will accept them within an hour drive of where they live.
