What do you talk like?

Well, like I said, it depends entirely on where in the midwest they're from. If you consider that a lack of an accent is an accent in itself, then sure. But I've seen it pointed out that things like news programs on the East Coast, Southern States, the far north, et cetera almost always hire people who don't sound like they're from the area because it's "standard American". I think that the accent-less accent grew up in the Midwest, but it's also the most prevalent on the West Coast. I can tell if someone is from Northern Michigan, for example, but I can't really tell someone from Indianapolis from someone who grew up in California or central Florida or whatever else.
