Re: question
70964, that question and responses reminded me of
this video. I think the Seattle persona accent is the actor's real one, but maybe that's just because it sounds most similar to how I and people like me talk where I grew up in western Washington.
V I'm sure it was my fault copying. Now it should be the video.

Hardly relevant at all: I once saw a video of this white guy speaking Chinese with all sorts of different accents (Beijing, Normal, Taiwanese, Russian, German, American). It was hilarious.

This doesn't mention some of the accents you said, but it has a lot of foreign accents. What think ye?

That sounds familiar. Was it a
commercial for equal opportunity housing with the white guy pretending to be minorities only to hear the person on the other line say "sorry, the room is already rented" until he uses a white Midwestern accent and the name Graham Wellington?

No, he was speaking Chinese, mostly.
