Scouse, what I usually find is most people from the UK hate it, people outside of the UK seem to like it better. I honestly don't like hearing the accent myself if I listen to someone on TV or any type of recording of it being spoken, I don't really notice it when in a normal conversation though.
I'm from around Philadelphia and a lot less people say "you's guys" and "wooder" from that video on page 1. If anything, that's more of an older South Jersey thing. I don't know anyone that is my age that says "wooder" instead of "wahter" when referring to water.
I've lived in Erie for school though and I've definitely noticed a lot less punctuation emphasis and words flowing together more there than here.
The "yinz" thing in Pittsburgh physically hurts me.

You got a voice like butter. For some reason I can just imagine listening to you read books over the radio as I sit in a traffic jam.
You're definitely Irish. I can't tell where from though.
Southern English or inner city Australian is what I hear without checking.
Aw shucks
I talk normal American, unlike those wacky Southerners, Northerners, Westerners, and Easterners. Why can't everybody talk with absolutely no trace of an accent, like me?
Everyone has an accent. Yes, that includes every single one of you Americans too.
Mine is Scouse.

Yesh, this is probably the actual reason my accent deviates from the rest of my family.
Not that I'm complaining, it makes me feel unique.
The kind of Canadian accent where people think you're from California until you throw in the occasional "eh".
I'd say I have a mild-medium Northern Irish accent, people usually have problems deciphering my sentences, it also doesn't help I speak fairly low and mumble sometimes.
I'm from the east of the Netherlands and I have a pretty thick accent that every Dutch person would recognize. Luckily, I don't really have an accent when I speak English, contrary to most of my countrymen.
Mexican-American? Idk, Bay Area Latino accent? I make a good Chicano cholo accent though, just ask LookAtMeGo.
Cheshire. Which, despite being just near Manchester, is not what most people would peg as a Northern or Manc accent.
I sound nondescript British, basically. Not as refined as an RP accent (although I was taught one, and I can switch to it on command) but nowhere near as broad as, say, the Northern accents on Game of Thrones.
I also spent several years as a kid living in France, so I lost even more of the identifiable characteristics of my accent there. Oh, and I was born in Bristol, just to complicate matters even further.

General American. Vocabulary is the only thing that really gets called out, always got called out on the east coast for saying pop. Having lived abroad, vocabulary is even more of an issue but accent still alright
Interesting, I'm also on the spectrum and have unusual speech patterns. I hide it unless around super close family because in my case it makes me really embarrassed, it's like a high pitch almost little kid voice, kind of like what some people do when talking to there pets. Luckily it only comes out when I'm super excited and I can keep myself from doing it in public. Because it would look really strange since I kind of look like one of the super serious enforces dudes from sons of anarchy lol.
PNW, which feels like one of those non-accents.
People outside of here can't really pronounce Oregon though, it seems.

You kinda sound like Gilbert Gottfried plugged his nose and got kicked in the nuts. With a slight latino flare.
North Down. It's not really what you'd expect from an Irish or Northern Irish accent, so nobody can ever work out where I'm from.
The accents change drastically every 20km in Ireland, so it's always weird to me that a country as vast as the US can have anything approaching a "general American" accent.

Trying to teach my ex that was Brazilian to pronounce it was fun.
Pretty neutral from your perspective of living in or coming from that area.
Believe me, your accent will be very, very far from neutral for me. Pretty sure I'd find it quite strong.
I am constantly amazed by people who don't understand what accents are (see the OP thinking he doesn't have one) or that their region is somehow the centre of everything and considered the neutral place.
I speak with a Warwickshire accent. Most Brits don't know what a Warwickshire accent is as it is a small county made up entirely of towns and villages. I gew up less than 20 miles from Birmingham, so thank fuck I don't have that accent.
I also grew up pretty much on the Trap-Bath Split so I'm a bit all over the place when it comes to that. I tend to the northern style, but occasionally drop into the southern style. My sister, who grew up in the same house, is exclusively southern in that respect.
My German is mic of high German and Pott Deutsch. Lived my whole teenage and adult life there.
my English starts with a strong German accent but after a whileI slowly blend in.
