What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Yes, I speak American English. The Colonials spoke much the same once they divested themselves of the British pronunciations. Whenever I traveled, people would ask if I was from Canada, as I was always careful to sublimate the Manhattan way of speaking, and they couldn't quite pin the inflections down.

Using the ubiquitous "New York City", is in error, as each borough has it's own unique accent.
