like whom do you sound?

I was born and raised in New England, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I have lived in San Francisco California for the past 34 years but people still pick up on my "Boston" accent occasionally. People in the NE of Massachusetts tend not to pronounce the letter "R". As I say to anyone, jokingly, that comments on my accent, "I still pahk my cah in Hahvad yahd". I am always pleased when someone picks up on my accent and I am very happy that I have not lost it altogether.

I have never lived any place where folks are known to have a distinct accent. At most, I have picked up local idioms that might identify me as being from a certain place.

Can't say I've ever had my accent/voice compared to anyone famous. I'd even venture to say that anyone with an accent/voice like mine would probably not become famous. I sometimes stutter or mush my words together, to the point where I often wonder if I have an undiagnosed speech impediment.

I did most of my growing up out in West Texas, so I had a pretty pronounced "Texas twang". It mostly went away, though I still do have a bit of a general Texas accent compared to others. But my twang comes out when I get really excited or flustered.

I've been told I sound a lot like my twin brother! Hahaha

I have been told, mostly due to a major misalignment of my teeth, that I sound like Sheldon Cooper. Then again, as I have always been an enjoyer of vocal manipulation, I have also been told that I sound like Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) when excited/nervous, and Leonard Nimoy (Spock) when angry. Somehow, my "West" Texas draw has yet to set in...
