Can you do any English accents?

[Vikingspeider]

Let's go English in this thread as well!

 

So, the question is - can you do any English(lingual, not geographical) accents? Examples would be BBC English, Leeds area, Irish, Scottish, Australian, American, Southern states... the list goes on and on. Can you do any? I love all of these - although I can't quite do a Scottish one yet. There is hardly anywhere to pick it up from!

 

Oh, and Eastern Europe accents are very easy on your lingual brain centre(easy to understand), they're easy to do and sound great! Try them!

 

Anyone?

[Jethrotulling]

I'm good at Norwegian accent :!:

[Skugga]

I rarely speak English colloquially, and haven't been able to develop my accentual skills much. I definitely should, but there are few to practice it with. I may take part of my computer science degree in the states, which should help getting rid of my Norwegian-soundingness.

Having lived a few years in Namibia and some years in western canada, I feel I have a fair mastery of both a classic american east-coast accent, a southern accent, and to a certain degree the south african accent. What you call a BBC-accent is also quite easy, provided I understand what you mean.

[unserheld]

I bet you can=) I win!

[Tee-Zee]

I'm quite at the norwegian accent, but i guess that comes to us all.

 

The BBC accent, or Recived Pronounciation, is easy. Partly because it's what we learned in school (or at least they tried to teach it to us...) and partly because i watch a lot of British TV.

 

Two other accents i do well is Southern American, which is also called "redneck" and Brummie.

 

Brummie is probably a geographical accent, but it's quite different than other English accents and dialects. Spoken in and around Birmingham, West Midlands.

[Alinoe]

Ah, the brummie accent is great. I quite like the newcastle accent as well.

[wûst]

I like the Scottish accent and Liverpool's as well. I do not really manage to do the Scottish one, all I know is that they like to Rrrrroll their Rrrrrrs.

I switch to Irish when I'm drunk!

[QuantumTrombone]

Well, I do like to think I can do the BBC English, Irish and the Australian accent reasonably well..

 

Oh, and the Norwegian, of course.

Ah, of course, THAT English accent. Never heard of, in what location is this English accent spoken?

Well, it is mainly spoken in the far north by a strange people who call themselves Norwegians.

[plastkniv]

You mean in the North of England since this thread is about English accents.

[€uropa]

My primary accent is a mix between norwegian, scottish and american english.

 

I have a scot for an english teacher and I've learned to do the Edinburgh-scottish accent. But Glasgow, uhh, that's not even english.

My english teacher always says "Okaaay, booyz, let'zz see who'zz herre todaay." But if there is too much noise in the class he goes norwegian, "Nårr jeg snakrr skal ike derre snake".

I speak American English as well a little hint of British. I have to speak slow if I attend to get a good accent but if i speak fast I will sound like a Norwegian - American, like this:
