VOICE QUALITY.
You know how you hear a voice across a crowded room and you can just tell that it's American? What's at play there? To answer that question, let's first define our terms: What is voice quality and the American sound? It's a combination of vocal placement and cadence. This means a throaty sound and a stairstep intonation.

Listen to British comedian Eddie Izzard imitate the American accent. Notice how his voice moves back in his throat and down in his chest when he's imitating the American accent. This throaty quality is an essential characteristic. There's even a fancy word to describe it-rhoticity-which is that solid R as in hard and far. There are regional dialects that are notable for lacking rhoticity, such as the classic Bostonian Pahk yah cah in Hahvahd Yahd for Park your car in Harvard Yard, but the overwhelming majority of Americans growl out the R.
