That's some sort of Southern accent, but it's not a North Carolina or South Carolina accent, that's for sure. Sometimes he sounds white, sometimes he sounds black. Whenever I hear an accent like that, it usually turns out the person is from Louisiana.
But don't go by me. I can definitely say it's not a North Carolina accent, but only a Louisianan can say if it's a Louisiana accent, whether real or faked.
Louisiana FReepers, listen to the recording of the message (on the original link) and tell us what you think of the accent.

On a second listening, sometimes he sounds like Kevin Spacey in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil", in which case, the guy might be from around Savannah, Georgia.
It's a strange accent--possibly faked.

Sometimes he sounds white, sometimes he sounds black. Whenever I hear an accent like that, it usually turns out the person is from Louisiana. To me he sort-of sounds (NW) black trying to sound southern. At any rate he isnt from SE Texas or SW Louisiana IMO. Theyre more mumbly. (Like Boomhauer on King of the Hill.)

Humm, I gotta agree with the rest, that isn't a Louisiana accent. It reminds me of someone who believes they can do a southern accent, like some actors. LOL
