I can do a lot of different accents, whether or not I'm doing them well is up for debate but in my drama class they loved my English accent and would ask me to do it a lot.
Anyways I can do Enlish, Scottish, Irish, French, Indian, Asian, German (sorta), Northeastern US, Valley girl Californian, Southern US, etc. I also do a pretty good impression of Yoda lol.

Actually, my "englsih spoke properly' accent is... what's it called...Cockney? Is that right? I don't know, I've never been out of the US.

I'm Canadian, [but I live in america ._.], so I have a normal american voice. I never use it though. I absolutly ADORE British/English accents. I think they own all! I usually talk with an accent like that, and people think I'm odd.
So if any of you have a British accent, I suggest you run. Unless you prefer to be tackled and have your voicebox stolen. ^-^

I honestly don't try, but I've had four different people tell me I have a British accent sometimes. It's disturbing, because I'm Canadian and I've never been to Britain.

Argh, this is so frustrating. I'm into acting, ad I'm in a play of The Secret Garden, which is set in London, so we have to have the accent to match, but I was in a play where I had to be Southern, and now I break into that accent halfway through my lines. Everyone makes fun of me.

Our pouth yastor (youth pastor) can do a Texan accent really well... it's so funny - we played Mafia in the "Town of Texas" and the whole time he was downing Texans... (nothing wrong with Texans, just it was kinda funny, ya know, him bein' actin' like he was all Texan and stuff, and then he's goin' on talkin' like ya'll Texans are old-fashioned).

 You wouldn't believe how much I hear that. People always think we'll go 'round with wrangler jeans, a button-up cowboy shirt, cowboy boots sayin' 'yee-ha' (Which some of us do, minus the 'yee-ha' part.) which is largely untrue. Its kinda' insulting, but usually its just fun to stand to the side and giggle. Really, I've only ridden a horse once or twice in my life. I've never worn cowboy boots, I've never worn wrangler jeans (Levi!) and I don't wear a cowboy hat. (Sometimes I would like to, but they look horrible on me) But Its perfectly normal to wear B-ball shorts and a tank top in January. Anyhow, Tell your 'pouth yastor' I said howdy!

I'm not one for accents. I had to do an irish accent for a play. When I practiced I'd start out irish, then slowly go into czeck of russian or somthing like that. Its wierd. I did manage to do it, however. I can do a scottish accent alright. I can speak in a northern english and cokney english accent fairly well (a talent gained from watching Doctor Who more often then neccesary)

Let's see....
I used to be able to do a English (Sort of...), and an Irish (Again, sort of...)
But I'm really good at Redneck. Mainly because I am one. Well, It's not even that, it's this weird mixture of German, English, Irish, Indian, and a whole bunch of other stuff. The area I live in has this whole different accent than the rest of the state. We can always tell when someone is from out of town, they pronounce the name of our city wrong.

I love doing scottish accents. My friend and I can speak in a scottish accent all day. It's just the most awesome accent.  But English... there's heaps of English accents. There's the person-who-lives-in-England-but-has-a-very-mild-accent accent, there's the accent-that-cuts-out-h's-and-t's, and others that I cant think of right now. So English accents are awesome, because there's so many.

i'll second that one. i love the variety of accents we have here, and we really do have some great ones - i love yorkshire accents (i have a lot of yorkshire blood in my veins, so the accents sound kind of familiar and homely to me) and west country and brummie accents always make me laugh (though not in a mean way). i'm sure it's the same in most countries, but being english i notice the variation in accents within england more.

I can do a good english accent. I don't know about anything else. I've never really tried. People tell me I have an odd accent already. I have a very slight lisp and both of my parents are from New Orleans, but I don't sound like either of them or anyone else in my family really.

Name of the city is?
And I do redneck very well. It's funny, because I'm a strange mix of Puerto Rican and redneck. One side can draw the family line back to the native Tainos that Columbus killed and enslaved, the other can draw theirs back to the original southern plantation owners...so it's possible that one side of my family enslaved the other. Anyway, before I went off on that tangent, I was going to say I can do the 'West Side Story' accent and the 'Cold Mountain' accent. Brilliant.
