What accents other than your own can you do well?

[Eggsnham]

I got thinking of this because of my last thread on habits where I stated that my unconscious habit is speaking with myself in either an English, Irish, or Russian accent. I've been told by several people that I'm good at accents, and I have no reason to distrust these people as they are all pretty well traveled and have met people who had the accents portrayed.

So what accents are you good at?

Also, I may post a video of myself doing some accents; but it's a stern maybe, because I don't have immediate access to a camera, and the fear of embarrassing myself is very great.

So, discuss!

I have never met anyone who from another country who could pull off an Irish accent.

OT: I'm not great with accents or languages I'm solid with guessing where an accent is from but I couldn't imitate one to save my life.

I can do a German accent like Hans and Greuber in Yugioh Abridged [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA7hf_dpI1k]. Clearly a fake accent, but I can reproduce it well.

I can do Russian, Irish and American pretty well. I'm also ok at some others but the 3 mentioned are my best. I could do my American one for hours on end. I even fool Americans

I'm English. I can pull off the stereotypical Mexican accent, so much so that I did it for a whole day. People were amused, then annoyed, then they shouted, at me, with mean, mean words. I can also pull off a convincing Irish (not the cork accent), Russian and Welsh.

Kinda french...when I'm speaking french.

Kinda good with a british. However I often drift between 3 different accents when trying anything. They change, and theyre usually kinda good. But...

 

[DragonChi]

I'm not to bad at the British accent.

 

[Wardnath]

Australian here, but I believe I could do a British accent.

What kind of American? I'm Texan, and get yelled at whenever I speak any other way for some reason. Anyway, I can pull off Irish, English, Italian, German and Russian fairly well. South African is a bit out there, but I can pass it off around most people here.

I act a lot. I kinda can mimic someone's voice if I can study it long enough I guess. With enough time I could probably do almost every accent.

I like doing British, Russian, and Italian accents though.

I suppose it is a bit of a New Yorker/Connecticut accent. Not too sure to be honest.

i can pull off a Scottish accent pretty well

 

[Antitonic]

I can usually do generic English, southern American (Georgia/Alabama/Texas/etc), and New England.

On occasion Russian, South African, New Zealand, and others have made appearances.

I'm English and can do pretty convincing Dutch, Irish, Russian and Scottish accents. When I first came to uni I convinced a group of people I was Dutch, was pretty amusing. When me and my friend go to house parties with people we dont know, he puts on an American accent and I go Irish, hilarity ensues.

 

[thepopeofatheism]

Hmm.... Well, I'm from southern Michigan (that's one of the United States, if you didn't know) and we don't have an accent. My lack of an accent is so strong that no one can ever tell where I'm from.

However, I've grown to love accents, and practice them frequently.

These include, but are not limited to: Russian, British, Australian, Irish, Scottish, German, Italian, Mexican, Jamaican, Bostonian, Texan, Creole and [i/]Korean[/i]

Honestly, when I'm actually speaking Korean, Koreans are very confused that I am white.
