I actually pride myself on the fact that I've managed to master most major United States accents and dialects. Sometimes, just to fuck with my friends, I'll start talking in a New York dialect with a southern drawl. They get PISSED!

Pacific Northwest? Do we have an accent? Anyone else from the Northwest here? I always thought we did a pretty flawless job representing the English language.
I am pretty good at mimicking other accents though, English and cockney, sort of Irish, Eastern european. Most American accents including southern, Boston(I do a killer impression of JFK), Brooklyn(rusty though)SoCal, and midwest(like Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Chicagoan. Which I would imagine is some localized version of midwestern America where we call soft drinks "pop" and despise ketchup and demand that all our relish is neon in color.

I have no idea either, but apparently you can identify a Chicagoan by accent.
Yes, yes you can. If your not from Chicago.

Find a recording of Mike Ditka, grand master of chicago, and compare it to, idk, Tom Cruise's voice. You'll hear it.

Irish with some Australian, it often gets confused for Scottish by idiots who have clearly never heard neither an Irish or Scottish accent or just cant hear the obvious differences.

I'm from New York, and that is my natural accent. But my family is incredibly Jewish, and has that nasally accent, and when I get really angry, I sort of slip into it. A Jewish accent is very similar to a Long Island accent, but less pronounced and more nasally.
Ah, I see. Well I think I just have a generally Northern accent. I can't tell anyway.

Nova Scotia, but there's so many accents in Nova Scotia it's unreal! I'm from Pictou County, and if I go to Halifax, people can pick me out and say "You're from Pictou, aren't you?" It's pretty crazy. The fact that we have Cape Breton as well? There's a lot of variation in the Nova Scotian accents, haha.

I have a Midwestern accent. Slightly Yooper, considering that's where I'm from, but not as excessive as the stereotypical Upper Michigan/Wisconsin resident. Someone said I sounded British at one point, but a British accent to him basically meant anyone who was articulate and "used big words".

I'm told by American friends that I sound "Hilariously British", and I'm told by RL British friends that I sound like I'm from Iceland.


So hey, I guess the answer is somewhere around there.

Normally I have the American accent. It's not perfect but who cares?. I can however talk with a Russian accent. Some of my friends say I sound like Niko Bellic sometimes xD I'd like to have that awesome Scottish accent though :/

Same here :D Although I can do that while being sober.

Californian if there is one. I was born and bred in NoCal, so it is not SoCal. They are different you know.

British. Very British. Posh, I'm told, but I don't see it. It's just well-enunciated Received Pronunciation.

Strictly speaking I suppose that, if anything, is "no accent". (Seriously. It started here - an accent developed elsewhere can't be called "no accent". ;-) ) But I can go posher when I want to, or Scottish when I want to... and of course in Swedish my accent is classic Ekenstugg.
