Midwest...ROFL

 

[AmberClad]

Either General American English or Mid-Atlantic (around DC and Northern Virginia). Pretty much anywhere that the local dialect sounds exactly like the dialect news anchors use.

 

[Agnostos Insania]

Ebonics obviously.

I would guess it has to be Californian, more specifically a port town like San Francisco. There are so many people coming and going from different parts of the world that you really can't afford to have an accent there.

I've heard that Vancouver, BC is generally considered to be the most "neutral" sounding to North American english speakers - I'd like to say Ontario though

and why do americans pronounce aunt - "awnt" and not "ant"??

 

[Pathogen03]

DC Metro Area.


Everyone considers us (DC/NoVa/MoCo) to have standard english (american) dialect.

 

[Medea]

Shoot, that's gotta be me an' mine. We'd be from Appalacia, just a hop up the mountain aways from here! <and then spits out a wad of toobacky juice...>

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Oregon, Washington, Idaho area.

 

[gocubs2k5]

the midwest. many newscaters and media people go to speech coaches to hone the midwest (north of kentucky anyway) accent. after living in the midwest for the first 24 years of my life, and then moving to san francisco, sf's accent isnt all that different

 

[AreaCode707]

Hollywood, CA USA.
