Southern, New York (I've done several plays with that accent) and British (of course you'd probably be able to tell it's a fake ;-)) Actually, I was in New York once and my friend Erin and I were on the lil ferry going over to the Statue of Liberty and we were talking in our British accents and this guy comes over to us and goes "Are you from England?" and Erin replies "No, Ohio." And the guy asks "Are you sure?" and she goes "Yes, quite sure." Haha. That was a fun trip ;-)
Speaking of accents, when my family went to Europe, we were riding the Underground and my dad started talking with this English father and son, and at one point in the conversation my dad goes "We're visting from America" and the English father smiles and goes "Uh, yeah, I kinda figured that out." It's a very American way of thinking -- even when in a foreign country -- that it is the other person who has the accent.
