Oh man, I grew up in CT and moved to TX, I get made fun of the way I say “almond” and “pecan” all the time, hahahaha.
very nice voice! I loveee your new hair! you look great in light hair colours!
Ha! To me, of course, you have an accent, but that’s because i’m from Australia. I did a similar one a year ago that you can see here
Basically I’d just need to say ‘pecan’ and it’s immediately obvious where I’m from.
haha don’t worry, my super speedy talking is what makes it obvious that i’m from California.
