I'm from Massachusetts, but I don't really have the Boston accent, nor do any of my friends. It comes out very rarely. Although I definitely do say "wicked" a lot. If anyone wants to hear me, I blab through most of my pedal demos.
I've lived in many places when I was young. I feel the way I talk reflects alittle of each place. Japan, Georgia, South Carolina, Hawaii and Florida. So its basically a normal american accent with a hint of southern twang, japanese, and I often end sentences with "ya?" which i picked up in Hawaii. Lots of "yalls." I pronounce certain words with a deeper southern accent and others with a slight asian accent lol. when singing loud and full, none of that shows.

we don't even say that. get yr friend outta here.
One of my best buds in college had a girlfriend from MN, and she sounded exactly like everyone in "Fargo". I loved to just sit there and listen to her talk, and make a futile effort not to laugh.

Same here. Born in raised in southeastern coastal NC. Been living in yankeeland for nigh on 10 years now. Accent is pretty much gone...except when super-stressed or having had many a bevy.
I'll have to see if I can find time tomorrow to record ya'll a clip.

fluctuates on a per-day basis 'cause english technically isn't my first language. on good days, I'm more or less passable for a native anglophone, on others, not so much.
Zero accent. There's a few small areas of the US - one of which is on part of long island (where I'm originally from) - that have what is considered completely unaccented English.
Kinda neat - until you find out that because of this I have trouble understanding what people are saying if they have more than just a slight accent of any kind. I say "what?" twice and then I just nod or make some noncommittal sounds.
