Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) is from KC and people from Kansas speak in a Midwest accent. I don’t get it. I grew up in STL and lived in KC for 3 years. We don’t have southern accents. I’m I missing something?

    Jason Sudeikis grew up in Kansas, so I imagine that influences his voicework a fair bit tbh.

    I will add that I’m an Aussie and I have a fairly broad Aussie accent, and when I hear an Australian accent on TV or a movie thats not in an Aussie setting, my first instinct is always “there’s no way we sound like that” even though I absolutely sound like that 😂

      I’m an aussie living in the US and whenever I hear aussie tourists on the street I cringe. I get the shit end of both sticks now because yanks think I’m super Australian and aussies think I talk like a yank. Guess I’m a hyphenate after 12 years.
