With Drawl (bittersoutherner.com)

Wow, these videos sound like home. Born and raised in Kentucky and I lost a bit of my accent moving to 'the city' for college but it's amazing how strongly it comes back when I call family. Now that I'm in California, people seem to find it entertaining for the most part.


Call centers for a while were teaching agents to talk with a southern accent as it was believed to be more welcoming.


To me, a drawl sounds like home and kindness.
