My talking like that freaks people out at work - I work in a call center - and on the phone, I have what folks call my "radio voice" (my face is made for radio - and it's the voice I used when I was on military radios) - very smooth, deep voice, no trace of an accent. Members ask "Where are you?" I tell them that I'm in Knoxville, Tennessee. When they say "You don't sound like you're from Tennessee, I can switch on the accent real easy like, you know and just start going on. :)
