Hi, if you want to hear a Southern accent, you'll need to go to a Southern state. Texas is more of a Western state with an element of the South, but you're in Austin and there is a mishmash of folks here from all over the country. Also Austin isn't like the rest of Texas and you'll rarely even hear a Texas twang in this city. You need to visit Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, the Carolina's, Virginia and West Virginia where you will hear a plethora of different Southern dialects. They are quite charming so I can understand why you would want to hear them being from up North.
