"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Interestingly, it seems to have pegged me mostly correctly. I've lived all my life in and around Atlanta. Most people notice a Southern accent on me, but I definitely don't have a Classical Southern accent.

I got The West, which had a very similar description. I'm from PA, fwiw.
