I lived most of my formative years in Texas but somehow managed to almost completely avoid sounding like it and have a fairly neutral accent. People generally assume I'm from either the Ohio/St Louis region or Southern California.

I'm American, I don't really have an accent other than that. But I have the ability to change mine on the fly to accompany the accent of ANYONE I talk to. It's awesome.
Southern California accent. It's kinda close to the neutral Standard American Accent, with probably some influence from Mexico (see also, <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UgpfSp2t6k>this video at 1:38, and imagine it about three octaves lower).
...actually, you know what? You want to hear what I sound like? Not interested in making a youtube video for it, so <url=http://rapidshare.com/files/293190863/MIC-2009-10-15_04h58m14s_1_.html>Here. First ten people get to hear it.
Odd that we have similar accents (I...think) and were both in reaching distance of the same book.

Used to be a rather generic "north of England" accent with the odd Irish phrase, - but since I came to Australia, it's kind of mutated into a weird English/Aussie hybrid. Which, according to people from around Sydney, sounds like a Melbourne accent.

Heh.

Everyone should have at least one of his books.
My accent doesn't really have a name, and I'm not even sure half the time whether I'm just putting it on. I grew up in a kinda posh part of Australia and I have a sort of local Australian accent that sounds a little bit British and only complete wankers have.
I crashed at a linguist's house for a week and he explained that Australian accents have really 3 forms - broad (normal), ocker and educated. I'm sorta an extreme form of 'educated'. People keep asking me which part of england I'm from, or if I'm a backpacker...

well my accents sort of strange. I have been in australia my whole life, but most people think i came from England because of my voice. So i guess it's english.
I've got a fairly straightforward British accent, which is weird since I grew up in Derbyshire (just about as working class as you can get without actually owning a whippet). I've been trying to cultivate a vaguely Scottish or South African accent, but it kinda meanders into other accents.
Aussie accent. Not that American stereotype crap, plus I'm from SA (the non- convict state) so it's a bit more refined/posh english than that of say Sydney.
