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!
