"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.



Hmmmm...pretty close. I live in southern Indiana, but I grew up in Alabama. Maybe that's what it means by I may be from a southern city. But the most recognizable local pronunciation around here (that i do not say) is to pronounce the word "WASH" with an "R" so that it sounds like "WARSH" People who grew up around here don't seem to have much of an accent until they say that word. It's really odd if you ask me

On the soda/pop issue, in the South we say "Coke" no matter what, could mean a Pepsi, Sprite, or Dr. Pepper.
