Also Anchorage accent
Alaska has wildly different accents in different cities (I actually hate the accent you are about to hear and mine is completely different) but this was all I could find

Natural.

Northeastern US accent is what I consider the standard english accent just because I listened to it the most.
But the british accent from England is the best sounding one imo.
Australian accent is the worst by far.
>>
Texas accent is hilarious.
The rest is shit.
>>
>>61854389
Everyone has an accent you fuck.
>>
>>61855061
Not us though. Accentless.
>>
>>61854825
>Natural

Are you retarded?

There's no such thing as a "natural" accent. They are just the same/similar words pronounced in slightly different ways.
>>
>>61855072
Everyone thinks they don't have an accent of their own.
>>
>>61855126
Because we don't.

Actually you might be right though, Canada is such a tolerant multicultural society that nobody has an accent, you're all the same. Forgot about that, that's right.

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension and read my post again.

jesus christ these are all unwatchable. Is it the accents or the people that have made these videos?
>>
>>61855243
No. You posted the word natural in response to OP's question. Just because you explained why you consider it standard does not make using the word "natural" correct.

Now fucking kill yourself.
>>
>>61855289
Except for the cases of Texas and the South, it's probably both.
>>
>>61855289
You could definitely find people with more distinct versions of their accent.

Especially the Midwesterner, Northeast, and Southerner.

We do but it's only slightly, we have the most "neutral" English speaking accents in the world I believe.
>>
>>61855300
Why are you so upset, did I trigger you somewhere?
I said natural in the sense that it's familiar to my ears, and not as fact.

Chill out, you gonna have a heart attack.

I think you mean west of Quebec.

But anyway, there's actually a noticeable accent gradient that gets more 'Canadian' as you go from southern to northern Ontario.

Yeah, west. I got into old grandpas cough medicine too early...

Does anyone else say roof with a u sound instead of a double o? I'm from South Texas and some people do it while others think it's strange.

Wait, is that wrong? I've been doing that my whole life and never really noticed there were other pronunciations.
