Here's a recording of my accent. What features do I have? How do I pronounce my vowels? Where do you think I'm from?

Sounds like a light Irish accent....Canadian?!? No way, superdave!

No, that accent is definitely North American. There's no way an Irish person would have the Tory-torrent or serious-Sirius mergers.

I thought it was Canadian until the guess-again-get-guest bit at the end. Pacific Northwest?

It's definitely Irish.

It sounds a lot like a Maritimes accent, except for the guess-guest thing. But I think it's Sarcastic Northwesterner. Didn't you post that on another thread?

Yeah, that's my recording. But what makes it sound Irish or Maritimes?? I was surprised by those comments. Hmm. I'll have to listen to it again.
