A lot of parts were sort of muffled but you sounded normal to me, without a New York accent. I only put "Not really" for the first one because there's a possibility that in the muffled part, you were speaking strangely. ;P

A) I couldn't tell a New York accent from my foot, unless it was a movie-like exaggeration of one, and even it's not a sure bet.
B) Phone posts are by there very nature muffled, so I might change my opinion if I were able to hear you better. (BTW, my opinion is that you don't sound weird and you don't particularly have a New York accent.)

I do not think you sound weird, or that you have a New York accent. My cat thinks you sound weird, but I think that may be because you sound a bit like me, and I was clearly not speaking...

I said that you sounded somewhat weird, but I can't tell how much of that is your weirdness and how much is a combination of phone-post garbling and my CAPD. There were points where I couldn't really tell what you were saying.

For the record, I'm from Ohio, I don't think of accents as "sounding weird", and you didn't sound particularly accented to me.

The only part that sounded like a New York accent to me was when you said your name, the vowel sound on the first syllable. A lot of it was muffled, though, and you talked faster than I'm used to, so maybe that's New York as well... but most of what I could hear sounded like a standard American (tm) accent. *shrug*

You sound freaky-odd! :)

I picked both "I can't hear" and "you don't have a new york accent" which probably requires some explaining. I have CAPD and I couldn't hear you well enough to figure out what you were saying, I think the only thing I got out of the 110 seconds of it was "i sound weird" (with a "do" or a "whether" or a "that" before it), and that's not enough information for whether you sound weird, but i could tell it wasn't a new york accent.
