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?

    I think the bigger question is why doesn’t his wife or son speak in the KC accent?

    There are so many layers to the Midwest accent because the region is so large. The southern states of the Mid West sound very southern while the Northern states sound more nasally. I am originally from Michigan but not so Mid West to sound like I am from Minnesota and not so Southern to sound like I am from Kansas. A lot of people have trouble placing my accent.
