It's not nearly as prominent as its portrayed though people with 1 or 2 "Italian" parents are pretty close.
Only thing I can think of currently is that I pronounce Water as both "Wah-ter" and "Wood-er" interchangeably but usually sounding in between.

I have a very generic American accent. Never been in the US though.
Received pronunciation AKA Queen's English
When I'm in the North, I'm told I sound Southern
When I'm in the South, I'm told I sound Northern
More likely to believe the latter because I was born and raised in York, but my parents were dead set against regional accents (mostly my mother who comes from a working class Yorkshire family)

Mine is really weird, West Country peppered with Welsh, Cornish and Irish with annoying Yorkshire twinges. Several things I do unusual if you don't know those dialects; ridiculously hard Rs, en on the end of plural verbs (yous rannen o'er yonder - you lot ran over there), skip the words to and the entirely (let's go pub just round corner / I'm off Spain for year).

There's no such thing as a 'neutral' accent for English speakers.
I have a bland midwest american accent, I can't really discern any accent, but some family members from the east coast said that we talk excruciatingly slow, and some of the older people say waRsh instead of wash (i.e I need to warsh the laundry, could you warsh the dishes)
I guess I really don't care about my accent either way

Somewhat. The Boston one gets made fun of a lot though which is minorally annoying.

I have what is referred to as the standard american accent which is what just about all actors in hollywood use.
I only realized recently that this is what most foreigners imagine americans sound like by default.
It's extremely generic and neutral. I'm jealous of accents that get a unique lilt or twang, mine is very flat and heard everywhere, but it doesn't bother me except when I'm trying to speak a language other than English

My boganish accent makes me feel unprofessional desu. Its not that bad, but Geremy Clarkson or Nige can speak so eloquently while tearing someone a new anus, same with most yanks. There's no way in hell I could use words like rather or benign without sounding like a fucking idiot. I could never give a speech or do PR work because of it.
