        That’s certainly strange. Especially to someone like me who doesn’t have an accent (/s I’m from where the tv accent actually is from). That said it’s hard to actually picture that

          So im gonna guess ya have a standard pacific LA accent. And yeah it was a bit odd his ph sounds had a sligh bit of vibration to em similar to a v.

            Nah Cincinnati. They used to send newscasters there because it’s a particularly neutral accent. And thanks that actually helps a lot

              Ah the older tv accent got it, kinda weird how neutral Cincinnati is accent wise given that south eastern Ohio is part of the Appalachians which are known for Scots-Irish with some particularly thick accents.
