I thought it was accurate,
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
 

"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.

It's pretty interesting though when you see the top references that both get the same end result. I hadn't thought about the proximity of MD to Philly, but for instance my mother is French and my father is from OK (but doesn't have an accent) and I never had a MD accent but my sister does, although I'd say that is the influence of her having a lot of local friends(public school) while I went to a small school with kids from other states from age 11 on. I started spending time in NYC in my teens and moved there at 17, and I think that had the most profound influence on my speaking style, and is the accent I tend to fall back into the easiest (hubby says when I get mad it always comes out lol).
