What accent can you do best?

[soren7550]

Southern since both my parents talk like that (even though they were born & raised in New York) and because when I was young, my mother blasted country music all the time.

Sometimes though, I unwillingly slip into the southern accent. -_-'

British, Irish, French, and Southern American.

 

[Dags90]

Apparently American.

No one's seems to be able to guess that I'm actually Swedish.

To be honest, picking out non-native speakers from a specific non-English country is pretty tough. Usually there's just a vague wonkiness that I call "ESL English". The Romantic languages are the easiest, after that and Germans it's pretty tricky. A big clue is if someone has a generally American accent but uses "zed".

African.

As in, the accent a black guy coming from Africa would have.

Ah, but which one? A guy from Mali sounds different from a guy from Kenya.

They do?
Well....to be honest I have no idea, but it's the only accent I can keep talking in for an extended period of time.

But I mean, I have no idea what region of Africa I would sound like.

 

[captaincabbage]

Australian. Granted that's because I am Australian, but I do it well nonetheless.

Fo serious tho, I'm pretty good at a Neawleans accent. There's something about Cajun accents that I can just nail.

 

[Bobbity]

I'm really bloody good with an Australian accent, funnily enough.

 

[yankeefan19]

I can do a Jeff Foxworthy-ish southern accent, a little bit of a Cajun accent, an English accent that I can't tell where it's from, a Cockney accent, and a Scouse accent (kinda).

 

[Klarinette]

I can't really pick any up off the top of my head, but if I'm anywhere for a couple days where there's any kind of accent, I pick it up without even noticing.

Hmm... actually, I can do a pretty good Cockney accent, but that's not really anything to brag about.. haha.

 

[Slangeveld]

I can imitate a Dutch accent if I try really hard. It's more difficult for me than most would consider, since I -am- Dutch.

 

[ApeShapeDeity]

I'm pretty good at accents. I can do a decent;

Texan
Glasweegian
Torry
Yorkshireman
Steve Irwin (BTW very few real Aussies speak like that)
Generic Indian
Insulting Mexican stereotype
and, uh... does gay count?

Interestingly, I've never, to my knowlege heard an American do a convincing Aussie accent. The closest was Downey Jr.'s effort... and that was still pretty bad.

 

[TiloXofXTanto]

I am an American (by birth) who can speak a near perfect British accent (somewhere between Cockney and stereotypical at times to be honest), I can speak in a near perfect French accent when I'm mentally convinced that I am Jacque (a crazy Frenchman who speaks in third person), I have a strange half-Russian-half-German accent that I fall into occasionally, and I can do a pretty good stereotypical Indian accent.

 

[Blackvegie]

Oirish.

 

[Dyme]

I am German, I can kinda speak okay English I guess, (you probably wouldn't hear its Germanness, you'd just think somethings wrong) but I can definetly do some severe German accent.


In German, I can kinda speak a bit Berlin accent, though I suck at it as well.

 

[Twilight.falls]

As a very tall Asian man living in Louisiana, people are amused by my Marvin the Martian accent, and my stereotypically Russian one.

It's pretty funny to go an entire schoolday talking about my Space Modulator.

 

[lokiduck]

I am from Washington State USA and have no accent, but I can do a pretty okay Russian Accent that mom says sounds like a cross between Scottish and Russian XD When I told my russian teacher this, he said I had been watching to much "Hunt for Red October"

 

[hailfire]

indian. I had a teacher with a strong indian accent for like every year in grade school, so I can do a pretty good impression.

 

[shadyh8er]

I've watched Baccano! so many times I can pull off a New York accent fairly decently. I especially love doing Ladd Russo and Jacuzzi Splot quotes.

 

[Sandjube]

Australian, so I can do an Australian accent pretty well =P Barring that, a little bit of Russian?

 

[Captain Schpack]

South African
British
Scottish
