I haven't listened to your phone posts recently (no audio capability at work), but I've always been struck by your accent as it sounds to me like a combo of California and north eastern/NY. Check out some of the articles for the PBS show, Do You Speak American? I was fascinated by the show and was convinced without a doubt that I don't have an accent, until they spoke with Californians on the show and yup, I definitely have the California accent and it is a very obvious accent. I actually don't know how to speak without fronting all of my vowels which I now know "sounds weird". And I haven't lived in CA since I was 15, but I guess I still have the accent.
I'll second the California part. I'm a native Californian, and definitely have the accent. I was never aware of it until I moved to Minneapolis, where I was immediately tagged as a Californian by several locals. Now that I've started acting (particularly voice acting where I'm hearing playback of my voice regularly)I'm acutely aware of how it sounds, and sista' you got it!
