None of my friends can pin down my natural accent, but I have perfected another more normal one when I want to blend in. My natural one is like a suave scotsmen with a lisp, who's trying to impersonate a Southerner, and failing.
What accents other than your own can you do well?

I can't do any, actually. Although, I do occasionally slip into a bit of a New York accent, but that's expected, as I'm from New York.
I've got a fairly neutral English accent and my dad's got a proper rural Somerset-esque accent which I can do really well. I'm good at the Birmingham accent, do a really good tough cockney voice (a great impression of a local tattoo artist I know) and am pretty good at Scotish, especially a more flamboyant Scotish accent. I study drama so I guess being good at accents is pretty useful. I don't do a great west American accent, like Californian, but I'm not that bad at a New Jersey accent and can do a cariacatured Alabama/Texan accent for shits n' giggles
I can do a decent Irish accent.
Apart from that though, my accents are not so great.
I usually do silly voices more! XD
(I love winding my mother up, by walking around the house and pretending I'm Sean Connery!XD)

I taught myself the skills for this in drama class. I can convincingly do British (proper and Cockney), Russian, German, Italian, Japanese and French. I can also do Scottish and Irish, but not quite as well.
Sadly, the only one I ever got to use in a play was Italian, when we did Taming of the Shrew.

I have an Irish accent but usually speak with a british accen (Except when I'm tired)that is so good People keep on asking me about how long ago I moved from Britain to Australia, I can also do a good russian accent and as long as I haven't been doing the russian accent recently I can do a good german accent.
I am Mexican so I do spanish very well, but people are often shocked how well I can speak english.
I am American, and I can do British decently well, and my friends say that my Italian makes me sound like a mobster.
I've been told that my regional British accents - Scouse, Brummie, Cornish, Geordie - are pretty good. I can do a decent Russian accent, as I can an Irish (apparently).
When I try a Scottish accent, it either ends up sounding like Sean Connery or Billy Conelly. :/

I can to a couple. a non-stereotypical british, australian, irish (I would like to think so), and I'm working on a south african one, but its a pain in the butt to get down, cause its such a crazy mix of origins. I can also do a stereotypical eastern european, new yorker, southern, and mid-western accent too.
I can do Irish and Russian quite well for long periods, I am good with most accents, but not as good as those two.
