What accent can you do best?

[Randomologist]

I'm reasonably good at a British accent with received pronunciation, I do it all the time.
Outside that, probably my Irish accent is best, but again I think that's because I have family in county Cork.

Scottish, watching ~7 lets plays from ScottishDuck17 can teach you a bit about the accent.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Well, when I'm speaking the language, French. Otherwise Geordie, Mancunian, Stirling Scottish and I sometimes apparently slip into an American accent from what I'm told, don't know what part though.

 

[Twilight_guy]

I'm really good at a doing a really bad version of accents! Wait, that doesn't count.... DAMNIT!

I'm not good at accents. I suppose I could be if a I practice but I see no reason to do any voice beyond my own.

 

[SonofaJohannes]

Despite being swedish, I can't do the swedish accent. I normally speak with a british accent.

Wait, how? You don't want the Swedish accent anyhow, it's horrible.

It is horrible, so I started speaking british, and eventually it just became natural.

Australian.

Actually my American is decent I think...but I never do it around other people.

 

[LandoCristo]

I can do a pretty decent Australian accent. It's pretty stereotypical, and probably not endearing to any Aussies who hear it, but it's alright.

But my Jamie Oliver impersonation is golden. Seriously, I sound just like him when I do it right.

Well... apparently my Texan drawl, but that doesn't count because well hell I'm from Texas, other than that I'm told I can do a pretty damn good Irish accent. To be honest I just have to listen to someone talk for long enough and I can mimic the accent decent enough.

 

[Togs]

I can do a quite good Edinburgh accent, which I tend to just slip into when I get drunk.
Actually had some proper Scottish people ask me where in Edinburgh I was from, was a little embarrassing.

As I saw the thread title, I thought "inb4 'British accent'".

I then read through the thread a little, and immediately died inside.

OT: I can do a mean Edinburgh accent, South Wales Valleys (though I'll sometimes dip into a Brummie) accent, and a decent Yorkshire accent (though I don't know which type). So I suppose, along with my own very very faint West Country, I can also speak a 'British accent'.

Oh yeh, and I love to try my hand South African Nigel, no idea why, but i just flows so nicely.

 

[Shadowfaze]

Im english, but i speak french too so i can the accent alright. 'Srow zat pees off sheet off ze roof!'

 

[Zhadramekel]

I can do a slightly American accent and a pretty good North-East England accent (i.e. Geordie) but for some reason I can't do a Yorkshire accent even though I'm from there.

 

[plank_man180]

Fuckin' Geordie Meeate.

 

[Wintermoot]

I can do a decent Arnold/Austrian imitation/accent (although I use a few German words in it)

 

[Zac Smith]

Jeez, the amount of people here that keep saying they can do a "british" accent, there is no such thing as a british accent! You wouldn't say "I can do an American accent" because there isn't just one. In britain their is England, Scotland and Wales there, and even they are spilt up in different areas with different accents. No one can say that a Brummie (Birmingham) accent is the same as Estuary (South East and parts of London)

 

[Hobnobninja]

Being a quarter English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh means I can have a good crack at certain accents from those countries.

(For those who care about regionalisation, The English accent is either middle English (posh), Brummy or from the South-West (farmer) The Irish supposedly sounds like its from the Cork area, the Scottish sounds like it comes from around Dundee and the Welsh sounds like it's from Aberystwyth)

However, I can also do a very high quality Russian (managed to actually convince several people I was Russian by speaking in the accent for three hours) a passable South African and a a very weak generic American accent.

TL;DR: I can do accents me.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I am from Ireland. Most English people I know who think they can do an English accent sound ridiculous. I can do a westcountry/bristolian accent fairly well, after living here for about a decade. I seem to pick up on accents really slowly though, apparently my accent sounds like I never left.

 

[IamQ]

I can do a finnish accent, Danish, Southern Sweden.

 

[BlackStar42]

I can do a pretty good Scouse, Birmingham and Black Country accent, a half decent Welsh, and a godawful Scottish one.

 

[gbemery]

My best are Indian, Arabic, Scottish, and Russian and in that order too. My Russian easily slips into Arabic or Indian and is hilarious when it does.
