“Broadcast English”

Interesting term

I’ve always noticed that In movies and TV shows, North American accents mostly sound “normal”. But when I talk to Americans/Canadians in person or online over voice chat, I cannot pinpoint the accents, it just sounds “American” to me.

I almost never hear the

“I’m walkin here”

“Folks won’t take kindly to you around these parts”

“I pahked my cah at the Hahvahd yahd”

“I’m sorey aboot that”

I’m totally down, I just need to, like, check my schedule?

etc.

kinds of exaggerated accents

everyone sounds like someone from CNN to me and then they say they’re from Arkansas or something
