I've posted this before. I am fairly accentless overall, in that people can rarely place my roots from my accent. However, I tend to take on the accent of the person I'm talking to. I grew up in the Smoky Mountains of GA, so have a deep southern base which only shows itself when talking to another southerner. I spent quite a few years overseas working and living with the British and other Europeans as well as Middle Easterners. This has also affected how I speak.
