I am from the south. Last weekend I was at bar, talking to someone from Miami, just generally shooting shit. A little later 2 men, who put bluntly but accurately looked redneck, asked me what I was drinking and my accent and diction suddenly shifted for a second. This sort of thing happens often, I’ll find myself speaking differently for different Uber drivers, etc. the accent also comes out while trying to portray certain emotions or when I’m particularly tired, which I wish I could suppress.
