I've been told I have a southern accent...then a Northern accent...do I have an accent? I wonder if I do and just haven't noticed.

No, I didn't notice a specific accent on you.

 

Otterama

OK, good

StellarStaylor

Yeah, you're good.

Nah, you're from Kansas.  Some Notherners just think you sound Southern and some Southerners think you sound Northern, but you're actually from the middle.  I have the same problem.

Aren't you from Michigan? If so then I would guess you pronounce certain words that to other people sound like a Canadian accent. I only say that because I have the same issue. It's o and a sounds that people tease me about.

I lived there for the last five years, but I originally am from Kansas

To me, you're like me. Every so often I say words that make me sound like I'm from the NE because of my mom (who I call "ma" all the time). It slipped out sometimes..like an Northern accent "out", "about", etc

If there is an accent, it is very mild. I have not noticed but you did mention how you sound slightly different from the people you grew up around in KS.
