It basically means no one is paying attention... ¬_¬ Big Al has a weird accent. You could consider it neutral, maybe, but not particularly American. Though that could just be the wonky reclist at play.

doesn't change his accent is indeed American. EXACTLY.

Just saying this because on VO I noted how someone commetned that Diva is the first vocaloid with a true American accent. But its confirmed Frank S. is american. this was first raised when Anders used to post on VO in the early days of PowerFX/Zero-G + VO standing by each other. Someone said there should be an American accented vocalid and Anders then confirmed Big Al has an American accent.

so whether or not you want to say how American Big Al sounds, it doesn't matter, Al has an American accent.

Also, I despise the term "neutral accent" because you can still tell which country that person comes from; only possible if they have a accent of some sort.
