About how others find the standard American accent to sound?

I've heard that to people of other countries, we sound like the stereotypical 1800's texan redneck. Is that true?! If so I'm going to cut out my tongue!|||Honestly, you'd think it if you listened to some British tv productions. I find the English guy playing the random American often has a thoroughly Texan accent. The only time I ever heard a Texas accent that strong was from a Norwegian guy who learned it in college and thought it was hilarious!





When I lived in France they distinguished between two accents: New York and California.





In French-speaking Africa, when people would imitate Americans they just mumbled like their mouths were full of marbles.|||Nasally and high pitched, most American accents sound like the teacher from Charley Brown Wah Wa Whah. A good example how Americans accentually sound is to us is like how Fran Drescher or Lina Lamont (female) Slim Pickins or Don Knotts (male). Honestly, overseas on TV sometimes they put English subtext titles under a American speaking on the news, current affairs shows etc.

I'm not anti American or discriminating you guy's, but all you guy's in America sound exactly like this in your TV shows, movies, talking to us over the phone in business or as tourist overseas, in our countries. No pun intended I have a lot of American friends.



If you notice all of us foreign people and actors who try to copy your American accent, sound like we come from Philadelphia, Boston or the southern states of the USA.|||Dang feye noz! But ah don think soh oo!
