Also,



...I don't do it to make fun of people, but I just find it very amusing to try and imitate people and to have fun just trying to string my words along.

Sometimes I can do a northern English accent (I'm south western), sometimes "proper" English.

I'm not very good at other accents though - I'm sure people would find them insulting xD

I used to record a "radio show" for the lulz with a friend on my cassette recorder years ago, and we had American and Jamaican characters for some reason. It was hilarious at the time.

I can do a variety of accents from around the British Isles; I can accentuate my south west accent to make it sound stereotypical, and I can go for Bristol, Wales, Birmingham, Ireland, Scotland, the north of England and an even more heavily stereotypical London accent. There's also the stereotypical American accent that we Brits sometimes use, though I've no idea where to place it on a map. Probably the deep south. xD

I can't really fake any accent. Except the stereotypical Minnesota accent, and that's more a matter of changing up some words in my vocabulary for me. I don't pick up on accents too well, and the only accents I've heard in amounts where I could imitate them a bit (albeit terribly) are the New York, New York accent and the Missouri accent. Maybe those of Wisconsinites and Iowans, but to me, they don't sound very different at all. Maybe a Chicago accent, since it's not a big stretch.

No, I'm horrible at it XD It's hard enough for me to try and talk in the "proper British" accent, let alone other regional accents or accents from other countries XD Although, some people have said I randomly pronounce some words with a Geordie accent, which is weird since I live in the South West and know no one from the North of England o.O All I can really do is make my own accent stronger or posher XDD

Nope, can't do it. x_X; It kinda sucks because my dad and brother can and when we're joking around I can't join in properly because I can't fake accents if they're using them. ;~; I can't even do a crappy British or Australian accent haha.

I think I can do a horrible hick Canadian one though. XD;

I can imitate Russian and British accents (note plural), but sometimes when talking to people with a thick accent, I imitate it unknowingly... UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE

@ Signomi - Good attempt, I can still hear a bit of your natural accent in there but it's still very good. :3

I can do an okay English accent but... that's it.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

I can do southern United States, Scottish, stereotypical South Asian, and stereotypical East/Southeast Asian with an actual degree of success. I can also do a few others, such as Minnesotan, New Yorker, Jamaican, stereotypical English, Irish, German, stereotypical Scandinavian, and stereotypical Eastern European, albeit with less consistency.

This is what happened:

-clicked in thread-
WOAHMYGOD THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!
-clicks in skype-
CAN YOU GUYS LISTEN TO MY ACCENT
them: OK
-talks in various accents-
~Ten Minutes Later~
SO CAN I?
them: yeah

I can apparently speak in a British accent really well. I don't think so, but there are some words that just come naturally in a British accent because of the way my mother taught me to speak (grammatically. It's hard to explain).

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.
