The ability to mimic accents

[Dragonfire]

I can't do accents at all My cousin can but he slips out of them really easy, he kept switching from a American to Indian accent when he tried to prank call me once. XD

I can do some accents, but I can't talk forever using them (English, Australian, etc.), and I can sorta have a French accent, but it's not very good.

Although, my Texan accent is pretty good, for obvious reasons.

I've been told I have a tiny Texan accent, nothing too big but it slips out when I say certain words and phrases.

The funny thing is that when I talk normally, I don't have a Texan accent, which is odd because I've lived here for about 13 years. I have to make the accent come out.

Oh, that reminds me... I can do a good Texifrench accent. xD

I can do an english accent pretty well, according to me, that is. But I think it passes.

Apparently, a lot of people say I accidently slip into a Long Island accent, even though I am most certainly not from the area.

I can do a slightly horrible southern accent, and an okay indian accent.

Forget about irish or scottish.. Doesn't happen.

I have a moderate Southern accent, I'm told. Can't imagine why, but I think I got it from my mom, who grew up in North Carolina. It's not very pronounced when I talk, but over the phone, it's horrible.

For a good comparison, think of Sawyer from LOST. That's kind of what my voice sounds like.

Well I am into drama, so I guess I'm not so bad at accents..
but I'm french also, so I don't do english accents, but the french ones.

Like French from france, I do that very well..
English people speaking french, I do that very well too
I think thats my two best ones /ok

I cannot imitate accents. However, after I was in the U.K. for two weeks, I started to sort of speak like them, using words like queue and imitating the talking elevator that said "First floor...mind the gap!"

[Shoyru_Lover]

i'm hopeless at mimicing accents - i can do one or two words of some accents, but even then its not very good

and before you even try and claim it kym, your english accent is shocking!

Jolly good ol' chap! Excellent call if I say so meself!

I speak in a British accents when I read out loud.Even though I live in Canada.Weird.

[shapu]

Lots of people do that - I've never figured out why that is, myself, although I've tried. I think there's a subconscious desire to sound more educated or refined, and most north americans hold the English in high regard (at least as far as the idea of refined society goes).

We have a whole unit on accents in Theatre, especially in One Act, it's insane, we have to learn around 5-language based accents, and around 30-area based accents, like Brooklyn, Valley-girl, southern for me XD, there's a lot more, we even got graded on it XD.

I guess I can do some accents. When I'm speaking in Spanish or Italian, I can put on a decent accent. My own accent is not as noticeable as those of my friends from the same area, though it does come out once in a while. The accent from my area consists of a really nasal sounding "a", and it usually replaces the letter "o". Like the name of the city I was born....Rochester becomes Raaachester. Sometimes, certain words come out sounding like I'm from Long Island (like "man")...who knows why.

Accents are fun when you're bored

[Sigh]

I'm quite good with Southern, French, and English accents, but I can also do Irish fairly well.
I pick up accents quickly, and always have. I dislike talking to people with strong English accents because I'm always afraid that I'm going to embarrass myself by subconsciously switching on my English accent.

[pipsqueeek]

I'm not quite sure, actually. I'd try some out, but my family's home and I don't want to make a fool of myself Plus I've got a sore throat.

I might be able to do an english accent. I think I end up thinking with one, occasionally, although I'm not sure how it would end up out loud. It'd be generic, though, since I don't know of the different regional accents. Heck, I hardly distinguish between regional american accents, aside from just north/south.

I think I've got an alright french accent. Well, it'd probably sound atrocious to a native speaker, actually, but I might be able to fool an english speaker

[Sugarinii]

I can pull off a nearly flawless English accent. I have no idea where I got it from, though.

Also when I'm flustered and upset, sometimes I'll just uncontrollably start talking with an English accent. It's much better then. o__O

As an actor and a person with a lot of experience in this category, I'd consider myself a pro at mimicking dialects and accents and such. I'm not boasting or bragging, but I've just had a lot of experience with it in the past 6 years. I've acquired quite a list actually! I've done several greek plays, the crucible which took place in the salem which trials long ago in salem, ive been in many english comedy shows, and british as well (ive actually found the major differences between the two), a western comedy, and right now im actually in a Comedic version of Hansel and Grettle, so its all german accents!

Also, im in Speech, which is basically a huge talking tournament with as many as 2000 people on a weekly basis, where there are 11 categories including Drama, Humorous, Informative, Great Speeches, Poetry, etc.... and my category is "storytelling", so over the past 3 years ive had to tell almost 50 different stories from all around the world with of course, different dialects to get better scores.... in order to make different characters, i actually compiled a list of all the accents i can currently do... here are all of the characters i have really strong for storytelling:

Austrian/German: Unt 'ansle und grlettle vent ouut inntdo das voods! (and hansle and grettle went out into the woods)

Mexican Spanish: "ay mayan. Wie neid do go ouut into deese woods aind git sumadem raddish flawerls det dey got iin therle." (Hey man, we need to go out into these woods and get some of them reddish flowers that they got in there"

French dude: Zeez frlench guy iss eh, 'ow you seyyy...eh,, velly intellesting!" (This french guy is... how you say... very interesting!"

Midwestern:(minnesota, wisconsin, canada) Will yeah! Yeh' betcha! Ouv course yer goona taik summa dem dare wahterr 'n spiiiill it all overrr that there flawr! Theeis eeis cyanada of chorus! (well yeah! You betcha! Of course your gonna take some of them there water and spill it all over that there floor! This is canada of course!)

New York/East Coast: Ey! AwHen ahh wee gonna detch this layowsy woild and maggit big somedAYY" (Hey, when are we gonna ditch this lousy world and make it big someday?)

Hick/Hillbilly/Alabama: Theeis aone taaaam, aii wuz ieen theis pet stow'... 'n they yall sayad thait I coul'n git nun mo' a dem fisheyes dey bie sellin' thaire.... (This one time, i was in this pet store, and they all said that i couldnt get non more of them fishies they be selling there)

And I've learned how to talk different between "'an o'ld Ilrishmin" "Uand in o'd Scoattishmin!" (irishman and scottishman)

I've also got western cowboy, australian (pretty much a steve irwin/crocodile impression but it sounds just like him), I've got jew, an arabian, a britain, and englishman, the outrageous type of britain that they have on montey python and the holey grail, and I do a pretty good "old spiritual black slave" (not trying to sound racist or anything, just saying its another one i do... that deep voice that sounds so soulful yet sad at the same time) and a bunch of others I do pretty well... so yeah, ive learned to speak in a lot of different ways. If I recorded them, you really might not be able to tell it was the same person if I played them in wierd orders and such! It's really fun!

I speak a pretty wide varitey, but im still learning. "Arighta nowa, ima trlying toa learni how to speaka itahlian!" (italian!)

And I'm also trying to learn the new japanese-american... "Oh, yis! I saww a leery big beeuding wid dtha tahww towa aund de towpa! (Oh, yes! I saw a really big building with the tall tower on the top!)

those ones are kind of hard though... im having a hard time with the japanese guy one!

Most out of state people say my Texas accent isn't too bad, but when I've gone Texas hick on them they are all shocked Thats about the only one I can do.
