First time I've ever seen anyone admit that about a southern accent.

Well the southern accent itself isn’t bad, but my grating voice plus a southern accent makes it really bad.

I lived for 35 years in central Florida. Grew up there, never acquired the accent. I always compared it to an out of tune instrument, which I know that analogy makes people angry. It's just that is what it sounds like to me, as it is just a constant stream of mispronounced words.

I do have this general feeling about most "regional" accents though, it is just that southern accent to me sounds particularly discordant.

Lived in Orlando for 9 years now - no chance in my accent.
