Nice there big guy... I announce basketball and baseball games over the PA at local HS (Have even done a couple of games on the streaming broadcasts of both when regular "color commentators couldn't make it)… Everyone says I don't sound like myself... Tell them it's because I enunciate when behind a mike... That and I am trying to use my deep sexy voice...

Texan.
a lot like Matt.McC.'s description in "EdTV"
have fun with it, but get real articulate real fast
when its called for.
sometimes you buckle up the tool belt,
sometimes you slip ona sleek black leather number,
just to keep dress slacks up,
sometimes you strap on the gunbelt.
theres a good mood tone for ever'thin' :p
remember me, lol? ;)

Not me. I still say "warsh."

:D just kidding.

I don't know what my accent would be or if I have one. Born and raised in Western Nebraska, the last 15 years in Wyoming. So whatever that sounds like. :applause:

From someplace in Ohio, staying north of Mason-Dixon but south of Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and West Minnesota... errrr, I mean North Dakota, sweeping through Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and skipping around summa them thar rural parts of Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, and the Eastern Plains of Colorado, continuing on through Utah, Nevada, with tendrils out to New Mexico and Arizona, and up and down the West Coast states, is the broad, flat, generic American accident that I have trouble identifying to any particular state or subregion. And that's quite a broad swath to be relatively uniform in speech.

Nevertheless, to my ear, there it is. It's kinda the "radio accent" that Scott alluded to.
