My father was very good friends with Vic Miles, popular and well known NY CBS News anchor.
Vics parents were Jamaican so he grew up speaking with that accent. It was amusing hanging out with him on the weekends and hearing him being him in his "non news appropriate" voice.
I always found it ironic that for him to be as notable a celebrity in his market as he was he had to pretend to be someone else.
I get it, still doesn't make it right.

As someone with a lot of accents they are ALL ME.
To me, it is strange that most people are unwilling to even try a different accent.
It is a choice, my choice.
When I fall into a "neutral" accent, people express that same surprise that I'm from South Carolina.
I prefer their openness and honesty.
I'd rather a friend that is rough and wears it than one that is rotten and hides it.
My mom was from western Ar Kansas.
When she went to college, roomates contiually kept telling her how to have a more neutral accent
She learned.
