Your Result: The West

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

Born and raised in Kansas City.
 
Midland accent ftw! I grew up in PA, lived there for about 16 years, although I was born in OK, fortunately my parents moved to PA before I could ever pick up an Okie accent.

 
The West, as expected...

Although my accent will noticeably change when I'm talking to someone with an accent different than my own, if I talk to them long enough. It's almost like I'm a mimic, but it's not intentional.
 
Your Result: The Northeast

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Got me pegged.

<-- New Yorker
 
Your Result: The Inland North

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

From Cincy.

None of it is true. :-

It's soda, not pop, I've never been asked where I'm from unless I stray really far away and nobody ever guesses the lake states, let alone cincy.

I call it soda, and I've been told I sound Canadian or have a New York, unlike NYC, accent. Whatever that means.

 
Midland for me. Born and raised in Florida. Southern accents are fairly common around where I live, I've just consciously tried to avoid talking with one.
 
pretty accurate, got inland north. second was northeast and third was philadelphia.

Spent first 13 yrs of my life in the PA mtns and then moved outside of philly. id say thats a damn good representation of my "accent"

I'm from NorthEast Tennessee Originally... I usually have people tell me I sound like I'm from Michigan though... This is fairly accurate, but it really needs a few more key words to apply directly to the deep south.

So French-Canadians sound like New Yorkers? 😀
