I speak extremely flat.
If that's an accent, then it's new to me.

I'm talking about American English, btw.
Although I'm no professor about it... So the above is merely deductive reasoning.

Maybe you have a broad an generic American accent like I've been told I do but it's still an accent. Someone from another country wouldn't listen to you speak and think that you have no accent.
