So I was born and raised in the US. I have what you would call a "normal" American accent I guess. Not southern, not inner city, not posh. However my family is from Ghana, in Africa. I'm first generation and a lot of my family remains there (as well as England amd other areas.)
Needless to say, I'm no stranger to accents, especially African and European. I find them intriguing, and even amusing in the case of my family members (usually when they start yelling/complaining about something.) Accents and Culture are pretty fascinating to me, to learn about and to copy.
