Do you have a Michigan Accent? Examples of our accent

Do you have a Michigan accent or are from Michigan and don't feel like you have an accent at all? Maybe you've never heard a Michigan accent and you want to know what it sounds like. Whatever your reasons, you're in the right place.

I was raised in Michigan and have been living in the Midwest ever since. Growing up, I was taught that my accent is the plainest and easiest to understand and so it what is used in Hollywood. However, I later learned that this couldn't be further from the truth. So I've decided to create a series on Michigan pronunciations to share the unique speech patterns in my home state (this is the first video of the series.)

In this video, I highlight some key features of the Michigan accent and give examples (from pop and soda to famous people who speak the accent.)

This is just a tip of the Great Lakes State's thumb (errr iceberg!) Read a ton more about the Michigan accent on my in-depth article:
