I'm just curious about this. I have a reasonably neutral, if not sorta silly sounding voice (tk, back me up), but it's not actually region-specific to Cornwall. In fact, in my area, people with a strong Cornish accents are few and far between. I know, maybe, a couple of people with one, but I do still often hear them around - mainly in the more rural villages and among the unusually poor and often, sadly, among the unusually stupid. I guess it could have something to do with my parents - but my father's side (or at least my grandmother's side) is Cornish through and through (my grandfather is only part-Cornish) but none of that line have accents that I can think of it. They use Cornish dialect (dreckly, daft, backalong, go spray) which I have to some extent adopted. In fact, it was only Googling those words that I realised daft wasn't in common usage outside of my region. But, these family members do not have the so-called Cornish accent and are reasonably neutrally voiced.
So... does anyone on here have a regional accent? Or come from a family with regional accents? It's just that they seem to be almost a non-entity around where I live - obviously I sound British and so do most people I know, but there just seems to be so little difference in accent between someone from where I come from and someone from, say, Reading.
