Ozark.

is that similar to, say, Georgia?

It's more like Appalachia,not the drawl like the Deep South.You can hear the Scotch -Irish influence,it's heavy on the r's.Orange is pronounced R-ange.

does it sound like this person?

He has a South Arkansas accent,so does Billy Bob Thorton.Its slightly different than the Ozark one.Their accents aren't as strong as some of the old timers.Some of the people that move here have a hard time understanding the dialect when talking to an older rural resident.

Mostly "Hochdeutsch" (Clear german) with a little bit of "westfälisch" (westphalian)

But i like to mix accents. If i hear a word in another accent and i like how they spell it sometimes i adapt it into my speech pattern. So in some cases i talk "Germix"

Peace

A strange one

People ask me where I from all the time and I usually tell them Earth and ask them if they have been there. I honestly think my accent has been effected by being deaf at one point in time and being autistic. Also some not all people have an extremely hard time understanding me. I think I might have a moderate speech impediment which I guess is a little different then accent I don't know. I had speech therapy as a very young child (4-5, possibly even 3 not sure).

Moderate NY accent. New Yorkers feel that I have a Jewish "tinge" to it. Like Woody Allen. Not like Groucho Marx or Robert DeNiro.

...Vaguely WASP-cum NYC area , since I came from the fairly outer , " white bread " , upper suburbs of NYC , not Noo Yawk itself , and I might have a slight underpinning of the (fairly mild) Texas accents my Texan parents had til' they died , tho they were in the North for decades .
Aspie-ness mebbe adds a little " little professor "-ness , natch :wink:
I've at times been homeless-called " professor "...

I don't know even think I have an accent. But, I've heard myself talking all my life, so I guess I couldn't say. Can you guys listen to my voice and say what type of accent I have.

you sound to me a bit like a spokanite or a kansan, but of course I don't know where you're from. you have an otherwise "neutral" western US accent. at least that is what it sounded like filtered through the vocaroo service which was somewhat distorted.
