What accent can you do best?

[Shoggoth2588]

Definitely my Japanese accent. That's my best accent by far but I'm also pretty proud of my British accent.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

I'm English (Hertforshire)

In the past, online, I have gotten away with pretending to be from:

America
Scotland
France
The Middle East
Australia
South Africa
Wales
Liverpool
Yorkshire
Somerset
Ireland

Accents are pretty much my trick, but the best I'd say I can do is a scouse accent, having watched Red Dwarf and Robot Wars constantly through the 90s. Craig Charles is a legend.

The best specific character I can do would probably be Alan Partridge. I've had people struggling to breathe from laughter doing bits from that show.

 

[UnendingLight]

It's not amazing, but I do a pretty good Russian/Eastern European voice.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Apparently my best is Scottish or Irish. Other than those two, I can pull off a fair few, but I'd live to be able to master a South African accent, or a Mancunian accent.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Generic American
Southerner (English or American)
Boston
Eastern European
Scottish
Welsh
Raspy Black Guy

Russian, which is good because it goes with my Russian hat, and I learned the accent from a number of games ranging from S.T.A.L.K.E.R (I know thats Ukrainian but shhh) Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metro 2033. For reference, I am British with a strong accent (standard old Stephen Fry style ) and love to see a good (or bad) impression of one.

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

Russian. My friend taught me how.

 

[SuperNova221]

Pn topic slightly: None. But it really grinds my gears when people say they can do a British accent then put on an uppity cockney accent and shout 'Ullo gov'na' all the time as if that's how all Briitish people speak. There's a different accent for nearly every city/area. "British" isn't an accent. Same goes for other countries I would assume, but I can't talk on their behalf because I'veo nly even lived in Britain.

 

[WorldFree55]

people have said that I have a great Russian and Australian accent. In other words, I can be FPS Russia guy and the crocodile hunter!

 

[Psycho Cat Industries]

Texan seeing as that's where I am from.
I'm not really sure if it counts but I can do the WALL-E voice pretty well.
Just a random thought,what is the accent in Dragon Age 1?

 

[SckizoBoy]

Just a random thought, what is the accent in Dragon Age 1?

Whose? Ah, doesn't make that much of a difference, they all try to pull off British RP (to varying degrees of success, though Claudia Black wins, obviously...).

 

[Googooguru]

I do an Awesome Irish Accent, But then again i was born in Dublin so go figure

 

[standokan]

Ernie from Bert and Ernie, it´s exactly like the real thing.

I can also imitate fairly well and know a couple of stereotype accents, though for some reason my accents at some point alway turn into `fat black guy´.

 

[TheSaw]

I can't do any other accents apart from the one I have.
Which is british-y.
Going further into detail, I have a Yorkshire accent.

 

[Tucker154]

Im an American with an Irish family. So guess what accent I nailed down. Come on,guess. And you are correct! An Australian accent!

 

[FalloutJack]

Oh christ... A thread like this? I'm a madman with voices and sound effects. I can, in fact, do quite a number of them. For the record, my normal accent is Pittsburghian. Yes, there is an accent for a city. Those who have been to New York know that they have accents as well, so go figure. What else can I do? Here's a short list...

British accents, especially anything that sounds like James Bond or anyone from Monty Python or Doctor Who.
Irish accents...because I'm actually part Irish.
Italian accents...because the other major part is Italian.
Peter Falk voice...because I watched alot of Columbo.
Indian accents, from hearing them alot.

There are more than this, but I'd have to think of them all. I don't actually know what could ever be my best.

 

[Isnack]

irish, a tee teh tar teh tater.

Ah,it was bugging me since I have yet to hear anyone speak like that.Thought it might have been butchered Welsh because I know a guy from Wales who almost sounds like that.

John Wayne. More an impression than an accent, but I'm pretty terrible at accents so can't really claim anything there. I can sound just like John Wayne, though.
