I vote for another reading. One that can better capitalize on the Chicago (with syllables that can be drawn out) and St Louis (words that end in er) accents. This one is great for the Canadians so far
edited mine with a more casual/colloquial reading.

Here goes nuthin'!
First Englishman reporting in; feel free to laugh at me
So that's what Birmingham sounds like? Pretty neat! You sound very articulate and clear in speech, now a London accent would sound a bit rougher I assume?
(every English person that I know reminds me that there is no "English accent" but rather a whole bunch of different English accents. (plural)
Haha, I have quite a boring voice; my parents moved around a lot when I was young, so I never picked up a regional accent.
'Proper' brummies pronounce all of their 'o's as 'u' and most pronounce 'th' as 'v' (so 'mother' becomes something more like 'mu-vah') and every damn sentence goes up at the end, so everything sounds like a question as well.
Londoners pronounce All their vowels as 'a', so they say 'Landan', 'matha' and 'banana', well, that last one doesn't change much, but you get the picture.
Ah, now you sound more like a pimp!
Jimbob...you sound just like I imagined you would. Cool stuff. I'm glad to hear all the TB'ers in their normal voice

It's so confusing! You guys are on an island - you should all be talking the same darn way!

You guys are on an island too y'know, just a REALLY BIG one.
Here you go. I spent a lot of time getting the rooms ambience right. I wanted to get as accurate a portrayal as possible of my voice.
So THAT's your secret! I wondered how you got so many sexy asian chicks to fall at your feet...Well, it's all out in the open now Maki.
Oh, and Jimbob, can you read a Yeats poem for me on an autumn night? Man, you have a smooth voice
Yes, but I'll only do it in a thick Irish accent.
...???? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Everything about you is so Huntington Beach. Now I finally have the chance to complete the depiction with your beach bum voice...and I get this! Bah!
Woah, Huntington Beach sounds like a really freaky place - all Emo Phillips and whatnot!
