@Luna - Hey, now, New York accents range all across the board XD Of course, there is the well-known one, but I've never actually heard it in real life. Try having a Rochesterian accent. I grew up close to there, so I developed one with a hint of Michigan (where I was born). For example, there are no soft "a"s. 'And' is pronounced a like "ee-and". I also hear we pronounce words like chocolate and Rochester (Rah-chester) itself "oddly". America should totally have that :D

People in Texas don't always have the accent, either. I know some people from Texas. I didn't even know of the people was from Texas until they said so. So, if someone is born in an area with it or can mimic a Texan accent I'm fine, but if they can't it will become painfully obvious.

The original colonies could be pretty Southern; the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia. The regions were Chesapeake Bay, the Middle Colonies, and New England.
