Is anybody extremely good at faking accents?
I am..
I can do English, Australian, Indian and Texan.

What can you do?
 
I'm terrible with accents. Some asian guy was yelling at me at work today because I took the lane ropes out 3 minutes before the swim ended and he wanted to swim right till 8. Couldn't understand a word he said. All I could tell was that he was furious because of the tone of his voice.
 
I used to live in texas so i got that one down... im pretty good at the farmer from iowa one too.......oh, wait.
 
Haha it's so much fun when you don't know anybody and you just fake an accent for the whole time. I'm also a really good actress (no boasting) so when they ask me questions about my home town (London, for example) I can answer them really easily and not look like I'm lying. :)
 
what classifies a texas accent? my entire family including myself is from there. but i was raised just in the south in general so people say i talk real slow and have twangs on certain words.

but i can do british and russian pretty well...
 
i rode the lift with an austrailian guy today... i couldnt understand half of what he said... or i had to think about it for a second...

thought id share...
 
colby's accents kill everyones.

myself, I can only really do australian, thats because i have 100's of relatives there. i just know it now. haha
 
This girl at my work has bar none the greatest chinese accent ever. She'll do it for a while really loudly and then break into what sounds exactly like angry Chinese ranting. She doesn't speak Chinese. It's amazing.
 
i can do middle eastern pretty good. lol oh and chris tucker, not really an accent but its great for xbox live.
 
despite having English parents, and formerly an English accent until i went to school I can not do one. I have a wicked Swede but for some reason I can't pull of a brit, mine comes back when i am hammered though whcih is weird, especially as I am drunk right now but obviously nobody on NS can hear me.
 
everyone who thinks theyre good at accents usually suck because they do it over the top/stereotypically. it might be funny, but its not really how typical people with that accent actually talk. english is the worst. i dont think a single person in the US actually knows what a real english person sounds like (old english and cockney are not what normal english people sound like)..etc..
 
After living in the Maritimes for 5 months I have the eatern accent down to a cue if Im drunk

Otherwise Im only half decent at a few.
 
can do a saskatchewan, a southern, australian, indian, new york jewish, and hank hill

i pretend to be from the south when I am drunk
 
last time i went to breckenridge my cousin and i fooled these guys into thinking we were from sweden. they were from texas we then went out that night and were going through people saying look out these 2 are from sweden. dumbest guys ever.
 
-im russian so i can summon up my old accent pretty well

-british (lived in london for a month)

-new york, not too hard

i can mimic people pretty well if i've hung out with them a few friends of mine are from spain and i pick up some of their accents sometimes
 
Today on the lift at Keystone I did an extremely strong Southern accent. I already kind of have one since I am from FL, but this was hilarious. I started talking about my guns and my trucks.
