Feh. If you think your comment hurt my feelings, you've seriously underestimated my capacity for self loathing—of that self, at least.
Well, I'm right where I'm supposed to be...Midland. Here's what it said:
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio."
Interesting because if I get excited, I have a very childlike voice. At least they got the region right.
I have a Midland accent too. Looks like you and I should get radio gigs Turtle. We could be "Turtle and Tink in the morning... But not too early morning. Tink get's grouchy."
I'm like Turtle and Tink.
Surprisingly, it rated me in the Inland North.
COnsidering I'm the area where they pahk the cah in the Hahvahd Yahd...LOL
