Upseak is a key component of white American accent and you don’t have that. Usually even the most soft spoken BW have some level of bass in their voice that lets you know they’re an adult. A lot WW cling to that infantilized up speak into old age.

As a speech language pathologist assistant, who had to learn how to code switch her jersey accent to a general American accent I know exactly what you mean.

Everyone is saying east coast, I feel like theirs more west coast. Just the slightest bit of vocal fry which is commonly associated with the valley girl accent

I was born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana, I have no southern accent. People frequently ask me if I'm from California, I never thought about the possibility of my accent being influenced by tv lol

I have the same accent. I came here when I was young too. I got this accent while I was at college. I was around people from all over the country. That’s how I needed up with a non regional/ general American accent
