The original Southern England accent I had when I moved to Canada has since warped into some bizarre amalgamation of English and Canadian that sounds different to literally every single person I meet.

Pretty heavily, born in Wales, Italian father, moved to Liverpool (and tend to come back here every few years), moved over a few countries & counties, but realized half well spoken generic British accents get me more work/get people to listen to me more so I tend to speak in that form for the most part.
Albeit depending on mood and alcohol I can go from a neutral-ish accent to Welsh to accidental Americanized Italian with certain Aussie twangs so yeah, it's like living with a vocal effects unit in my throat.

Not that I've noticed... unless I get really angry then I get a rather strong Brooklyn accent. I blame my father

I'm not sure if I really have an accent (I'm from St. Louis). I sometimes say "hurr" as opposed to "here" by accident, but that might have been something I subconsciously picked up from friends/family. Oddly enough, I'm quite sure you do have an accent.

I think I have less of a Southern accent than I did when I was younger. I got pretty self-conscious about it and tried to get rid of it. I've just accepted the fact that it'll always be there in some portion.

I sound like I am from Southern California, dude.
Always have, even though I didn't think it was noticeable. Whenever I have traveled, people pick up on it right away.

I still have a slight southern accent, but I'm always switching up the way I talk that it ranges from way laid back to aggressively gruff.

Mine has merged into a combination of upstate twang combined with a Boston accent and a Brooklyn accent

I have less aceent pops than I use to, but I don't think my accent has changed that much.

They have accents in California? According to people outside of the state, we do. We tend to speak slower and draw our words out a bit. Outside of that, it's pretty neutral. We do use certain words and slang that's exclusive to whatever region of California you grew up in("Hella", for example, if you're from Nor Cal).

Typically I don't have an accent. Never have. However, I have caught myself in the middle of long bouts of talking (public speaking and presentations) slipping into what I can only describe as a faint Dutch accent (as my Grandparents immigrated to Canada back in 56 or so and retained their accents).
Then I stop talking, and that goes away.

People here in Georgia constantly ask me where I'm from. I'm from Georgia. f*** them. It's mind over matter when it comes to accents.

They have accents in California? We have lots of things. Porno magazines, large boxes of condoms, bottles of Old Harper, panty shields... illegal fireworks... and plenty of disposable enemas.

My dad was from Sydney but he never talked with an accent as far as I can remember so some where he lost his. Granmum never lost hers.

Slightly. I used to have a more neutral midwestern accent growing up, but I gained a little bit of Chicago/Detroit influence when I went to college.

I have a Northern California accent, so it's more I have a distinct way of talking and words that I use than any real accent. It's never changed and I doubt it ever will. People give me shit for using hella when I'm not here though.
