What's it like to not have an accent?
I live in Texas and I tawk New Yawk. Within 5 seconds after opening my mouth I almost always get a comment on my accent, and even when I lived in NYC, most people my age don't have the classical NY accent. I feel like, for all my life, I am immediately tagged as from a working class background based on my speech. it's not necessarily a problem - I am who I am and I'm comfortable with that - but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to just be normal, y'know? I don't know if you guys can relate.
