Southern; specifically Tennessean, but that’s* city* Tennessean, not country.

Approximately England 4 (Male, 20s, Warwickshire) on that page, but I pronounce certain words the “northern” way (short, hard vowels in path, bath, grass etc) due to having a Dad from Yorkshire and a Mum from Scotland.
It is English, but the audio quality sucks compared to the other one. (And it’s not great either.) The phrase is “She thinks all short men sit on their laurels all day.” I could have sworn I had one that had a better phrase, but I couldn’t find it.
Alas, all my microphones are down right now (including the one on my new laptop), so I can’t rerecord another one. I do have a recording of the same sentence that is a little less natural, but perhaps easier to hear.
I also have some of me saying “pin, pen, pan, pat” to demonstrate the different vowels in each. Many people think either the first two or the seconds sound the same, and the fact that I pronounce the last two differently baffles some people until they hear it.

Also, here’s a laurels one I did for fun, mimicking the accent of another poster at a lame attempt at a joke. I have no idea if I sound real or like the Lucky Charms guy.
If I can get that other website to work without having to install Quicktime, I’ll see if I can find my accent on that site everyone keeps mentioning.
I had a giggle. Also, I constantly correct my son’s ‘pin’ and ‘pen’. Hmmph. Calling a pen a pin is the mark of the uneducated!

Wait, did you mean a ink pen or a sewin pin?
Mid-Atlantic here.
Cornish. (which gets thicker when mixed with alcohol)
Pike County, Illinois. Although I grew up in neighboring Brown, I worked for 10 years in Pike, where I picked up the accent. It’s very distinctive- think a St. Louis accent, only more nasally and twangy, with terrible grammar. It’s the strongest when I’m working. When I’m just sitting somewhere having a pleasant conversation, it fades and my grammar improves immensely.
Dutch accent. Not as bad asthis Dutch MTV VJ speaking Dutch-English, but… not that much better, actually. 
So like someone from Cambridge, MA over a holiday weekend?
I have a very neutral “Midwestern” accent, although my voice is not stron enough to be broadcaster quality. Very rarely some southernisms will come out. I also tend to adapt slightly to my audience’s accent.
Here’s me.
An undoubtedly unique mix of UK Received Pronunciation, West Country (“Oi be drinking cidarrrr”), West Midlands (“louk at t’ foony babby”), Southern US (“Ah shaw do lack Miss’sippah”) and Indian Received Pronunciation.
ETA: Most of the time I sound like a typical Central Floridian, which means somewhere between a southern drawl and Mid-Atlantic (newscaster talk).
I grew up north of Minneapolis in rural Minnesota. I used to have a quite strong Minnesota accent, but after living in Chicago for about 8 years it has faded. Now I’m not quite sure what accent I have. I definitely don’t sound like a native Chicagoan. The MN accent comes back if I spend some time back home or when I’ve had a few drinks. Others mentioned their original accents coming back when they’ve been drinking. Why is that?
You know that the “valley girl” accent came from surfers? Girls in the valley would (and still do) drive over the hills to Malibu and hang out with the surfers. They wanted to flaunt this association of “prestige,” and that eventually infused their speech. That’s why at first it seemed like mostly a female thing, though it originally started with male surfers.
Like a lot of Americans I never thought I had an accent until i started dating an Irishman. We both laughed at how the other said things. I’m from Cleveland so I guess you’d say i have a northern accent based on that quiz about what accent you have.
