Hi guys, I'd appreciate so much if you could recommend me some YouTube channels that people have one of these accents: Northeastern, Midwestern, Southwestern or Southern

Justin Rhodes is a great homesteading channel in North Carolina Smokeys.

Jerma985's an obvious one for a good Boston accent, 8bitguy has a nice Texas accent, and technology connections has a good Illinois accent

Derek from Vice Grip Garage has a mild Upper Midwest accent. Not full-blown Yooper, but definitely identifiable.

Charlie Berejs and You Betcha for Midwest

This one is pretty good at portraying Southern accents. This video shows a north Alabama vs. a south Alabama accent.

For New Mexico the classic answer for this question would be shit burquenos say
The channel is like a local comedy group and they have other videos (including a second "shit burquenos say") I like this one they did somewhat recently. (For context they're making fun of Belen which is known for having a lot of hispanic rednecks, for lack of a better term)

This has been one of the more interesting midwest channels I've found.
Since you are interested in accents he still keeps alive a lot of speaking patterns that died out in this part of the country from his 29 years in prison away from changing culture.

Shoot, that's really intriguing! Thank you!

Each of those regions encompasses a lot of different accents the vary by city, state, urban/rural location, and different ethnic and cultural groups.
If you want a walkthrough of North American accents, this dialect coach did a video series on them.

Here are a few channels or shows featuring specific accents.
This channel does humorous examples of a thick New York accent.
This channel posts videos about Appalachian language and heritage.
I like this Tiktoker/Youtuber’s parody sketches where she imitates the accent of her lower middle class mom in Pittsburgh.
The movie New In Town takes place in Minnesota and features Northern Midwest accents. So does the movie and TV show Fargo.
This YouTuber is a spider enthusiast from Missouri and her Northern Missouri Midwest accent is different from the Minnesota Midwest accent. It’s also different from the Southern Missouri Midwest accent.
If you look up clips of them speaking, Former President Bill Clinton has an Arkansas Southern accent and Former President George W Bush has a West Texas Southern accent.

Love that series of videos.
CPolland12@reddit
It’s a southern Thing is a funny channel. ALL southern accent

That's what I need! Thank you!!

Are you looking for an example of a creator with an accent, or a channel about the accent and culture of the area?
If you're looking for the former, check out Scott Herman. The channel is about fitness and weightlifting, but his accent is a good representation of suburban Massachusetts.
mdchefff@reddit (OP)
Mostly a creator with one of those accents, the channel content can be about anything.
Thank you for the suggestions!!
