Accentuate the accent

I'm something of a mimic - or so I've been told. I tend to speak with the predominant accent I hear in the people around me, especially after long exposure to them ... but I never really hear myself speaking with any accent. When I was in Scotland, the people with me said I was talking Scottish; I didn't think so. I will admit that I didn't have nearly as much of a problem understanding the Scots as they did. And when I was in California and called home to talk to my mother, she promised that she was going to wash my mouth out with grits when I got home because I'd evidently picked up, like, some sort of, you know, accent? In California, or wherever? I only bring this up because Tonya made me go take this test and it says I don't have an accent at all.

You have a good voice for TV and radio.
