A lot of people say I speak like an American "announcer guy" that does the voices for movie previews and other TV promos. I'm actually from Eastern Canada, born and raised here so it's kinda weird, but I do not appear to have the Canadian raising phenomenon, even though my parents seem to have it a bit. I can impersonate a lot of accents, but my own sounds a lot like the "announcer guy" one.
What is the accent that (most, American) announcers seem to use? Is it just a General American accent or a Californian accent or what? Does anyone know? What are the particulars about that type of accent?
