Only if they're from the island. You know that guy on 'Without a Trace'? He's been in a few movies. You have the NY dropped r , but I'm telling you have a familiar Latin strain in the background. Okay, maybe not exactly New Yorican lol I don't know the nomenclature of speech, but it's something that I also here in NYRicans, Dominicans, on and on. It doesn't sound Cuban, though, and it's not the major part of your speech. Only occasional.
Overall I agree it's NYC-Nassau County. Sometimes your vowels shift to Brooklyn Goozheen, though I hear the metro-Jewish influence, which tells me you went to NYC/Nassau schools.
I met this black guy a while back who sounds completely like a Bronx Jewish throwback. If you closed your eyes you'd say "Pelham Parkway, 1967"

Americans have weird accents. Period. "Can you please lend me a dowwwwler?" "How's your mowwwwm?" "You're from Owwwz-straaay-lia?" eh? not even close, american accents are sorta simmilar to mild irish accents whereas Australian accents are like a braindamaged limey from london OY ELaY EYM FREM ESTREYLIYEH G'-eye That's only if you use Crocodile Dundee as your typical Australian - he isn't. Most Australians don't talk like that. But, can you post an example of an Aussie accent?

If I try to do an English accent, I can't and that's what it sounds like - so I've always been able to do an Australian accent.
On topic: I sound pretty specifically Californian.
