My friends tell me I have a perfect Irish accent and every time we go to the movies they want me to order the popcorn using it sometimes I start talking with it and don't realize it till someone askes why I'm talking like that.
What accent can you do best?

when i get angry and start ranting i start speaking in an incoherent Irish tongue.

I can do a good Australian, English, and Irish accents, along with a whole bunch of strange voices. I have a massive amount of different character voices I can do.
I'm British and so I got that one pretty good but I can kinda do a Russian accent otherwise got nothing 
I've been able to do a wide variety of accents since I was an infant (I kid you not). The one that comes most naturally to me is a sort of silly Canadian accent. By that, I don't mean the kind where you say "Eh?" or "Aboot." I avoid THAT accent like herpes.
All I can really say about the accent I use is that I speak it with a slight underbite and say "Oh sure" a lot. I tend to use it in conjunction with a particular kind of kidding sarcasm.

irish, scottish, and brittish (don't ask for what part of england, i have a very little and probably incorrect idea of how that works (it's from what city/part of england one comes from right?)) and i can do french, german if i practiced a little more, and russian. anything else would make me racist for sterotyping.
are we counting actors and characters as well? oh f**k yeah;
starscream and cobra commander, jack sparrow, sean connery (how i practice my scottish accent) master gibbs, probably most pirate characters i'm in love with those movies, and optimus prime.

half the time any accent I do turns into either a generic English accent or more likely a generic Middle Eastern accent-- I have no idea why
Geordie and Irish but that's mostly because they aren't far off my own accent which is Cumbrian. I can also do a pretty awesome Valley Girl and Cowgirl.
Dammit. Beat me to the punch.TheRealCJ said:
But seriously, while general accents I can't do, I can do fairly good impressions of Vin Diesel, Tychus, and Arnie.
I can do the occasional British accent really well, though I couldn't tell you exactly which one I'm doing. I grew up with Monty Python and Eddie Izzard, so there's that, though, and I listen to a lot of the Arctic Monkeys.
I can also do indeterminate Slavic accent, and also something else that's kind of similar but even less determinate. I'm actually not sure what it is at all.
I don't have a ton in my repertoire, but the ones that I do have are really excellent. I once decided to speak in a British accent all day and a couple of girls I didn't know thought I was actually British.

I fake accented my way through Britian and Germany. Though Germany might not count because i was speaking German...
Admittedly, it's not entirely obvious to a non-African, but seeing as a region as small as the UK has twenty-odd different accents and hundreds of variations on those, it's safe to say that the entire continent of Africa shares a fair amount of variation in accents.Lem0nade Inlay said:
What most people consider a generic African accent is, from what I can tell, mostly central west African, around Mali or Nigeria. Of course, I'm sure there's even more variation within that region, but I'll admit to not being able to tell the difference at that level either.
I'm half Irish and i can nail that accent and i can also do British, Russian, Mexican, and African.
