Ryan Seacrest is from ATL he doesn't have any accent. Neither does Julia roberts.
Can also be because not everybody is raised by ppl who are from where they're from

Lol funny you say that...I'm born and raised in Michigan and my whole family says "aint-tee" instead of aunt....we all say "pop"...we call our grand dad paw paw...me and my brothers call or mom by name and we call our granny "momma"...weird.

What's also crazy...is that my hometown (Benton harbor Michigan) is only 45 minutes away from where I was raised most of my life and for some reason Benton harbor raised natives have a strong country accent and different slang..real weird. Feels like a whole different state when I go down there....I still wonder to this day how they have that southern drawl.

Black folks in Detroit/Chicago still sound southern. Not all but most of us IMO.

Such a shame. People speaking in without a limiting accent? How dare they speak so that you can understand what they say anywhere in the country. Let's all stay limited to our blocks.

This is true. If you are educated, your parents are more likely to be educated and professionals. It stands to reason, they would speak more mainstream English to be taken seriously in their profession and thus their kids would grow up without a strong regional accent.
Let's be reality, you're not letting a surgeon operate on you if he sounds like Jeff Foxworthy or T.I. You'll be like, i think i'll use that surgeon that sounds like a TV anchor instead.
