Im from oregon. and the only place I ever live in.
but people have told me that I have a southern accent.
a canadian accent.
a wisconisn/minnesotian accent
a neutral american accent
very very rarely a east coast accent
a canadian/southern mix accent
a mid west accent

in break down:
american women thinks I sound southern (nearly all thinks I sound southern)
men who are from oregon think I have no accent or have a accent of some cert (oregon men are the only one's who think I have no accent)
men outside of oregon think I sound southern,,minnesotian or combo of both ( I meet men from the south, that told me I sound southern)
non-american men and women think I sound canadian or other accent I said above


here how I sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-EoHtdNCh0

If anyone can. Please tell me what I say gives me an accent. because I don't really notice my accent.
I can't hear southern or any of the other accent in my voice.

Sounds like a mix between Southern and Minnesotan to me.

Sounds most similar to Canadian to me. It definitely doesn't sound southern to any degree.
