Michael,

I do agree we have an accent in comparison to other parts of the country. I was raised, for the most part in Albuquerque, New Mexico, so when I came up here my 'browns and downs'... had a slow twang to them. Even to this day the southern drawl tends to come out.
I talked to a friend from New Jersey the other day and his voice was nothing as I expected it to be. He had a lyrical beautiful voice, almost sounded as if he was from Seattle rather than Jersey. He'd never heard the lovely accent Seattle folks have, but my sister, living out there most of her adult life, has it.
Minnesota accent, definitely. Frances Mcdermott's characterization in "Fargo"... even I have problems mimicking her voice in that.
