    Default Accent

    what type of accent or accents do you have?

    why do some people still have to fight to get the same opportunities that are given to others?

    It's the Texan accent, y'all! I don't think it's REALLY strong, but some others might disagree.

    I have that weird hybrid "Asian guy who grew up in America around whites" accent. Sometimes when I'm here it turns into a mash of American and English, which comes out Canadian, and when I'm around my Canadian aunts & uncles (first-generation immigrants from the Philippines) a little pidgin slips in.

    i have a slight southern accent, but i can turn it into a real down home drawl if need be. it's earned me so much money.... i can't tell you how much easier waitressing is if people think you're southern. i have no idea why. but i consistently get a third more customer compliments to my manager, and 2/3 more tips when i drawl. this at two different restaurants, too. i wonder if it would work dancing?

    ^ Yep, everyone loves Southern accents. My kid brother's getting a drawl from living in Tennessee & we think it's so cute.

    My Californian accent shifts according to whichever state I worked in last. My favorite is Upper Midwest, ya know?

    I'm from AZ so, when I moved to the midwest I thought everyone sounded so funny. Kinda hillbilly ish. But, I'm sure I sound that way now. I think it's a draw. Dunno?

    I have an Wisconsin accent, but it's not really strong like in northern Wisconsin since I'm from Milwaukee. The family I have in northern WI all speak with the "oh yeah der hey"...like Fargo.
    I didn't think I had it too bad until I moved to Las Vegas and people kept asking me "are you from Minnesota? are you from Canada"?.....for some reason I'd get pissed when I was asked that. I guess I didn't to be confused with Minn, WI's enemy. LOL.
    Being away from WI for over 5 years now it's not as strong, it comes out when I say words like house, etc...that long "o" sound.
    My bf likes to tease me....
    I guess I'll pick up the NYC thing since I'm here now.
