anyone here got an american accent?

Question

I am from australia and I am currently going to school in LA. I have been in america for 7 years and I think I lost my australian accent. but just to see if its true, I've uploaded a recording of me reading a paragraph from a magazine in an american accent: to those with an american accent, how close am I?

Answer 1

there's really no such thing as an american accent. travel from CA, to texas, to ohio, to the south, then to NY and NJ. you'll see a HUGE difference in accents all over the country.

where i come from (southern virginia) some people sound more british than southern or "american"

Answer 2

You sound more american then australian, and in fact I could tell that you even had an australian accent! However I do agree with the guy above me when it comes to different accents in america...cause we have the new england, southern draw accents and what ever else comes in between.
