My original accent sounded like the people in Varsity Blues. I was shocked how well they got the accent correct for East Texas.
But my accent changes really easy. Once when I came home on leave from the military my grandmother told me I sounded like a Yankee. I had one military coworker ask me if I was from New York City once.
Then when I moved the family back to Texas my mother-in-law from upstate New York started mentioning how my accent was changing back to a Southern Twang. I don't even realize it's happening. I have a central Texas accent now. Texas has at least five distinct accents depending on where you live.

Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
