Huh, I never thought accents were very difficult in the first place. I live in the US and I've never traveled to any other country, although I can pull off multiple accents very easily. British, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Hindi, Jamaican, and French are the ones I can think of right off the top of my head. This explanation and all of these "categories" are just confusing me, lol.
i need your help! im from the us and im in a play, my part in the play requires a "propper english(british) accent" but my accent is tragic! if you could make a video on how to say words like "sir" "miss" ""mr" and maybe even the name "mr.warbucks". please help:)
I think I'm in love! You are BEYOND talented. And the way you look into the camera and explain everything...I feel like we are great friends sitting across from each other at a cafe haveing a chat! I "sumbled" upon this video and it was exactly what I needed for the day. I'm off to the mall...gonna try out and accent and judge where I am based on reactions. Love your face!!
@ikaikasteffens12 As she has said in an interview, she has no "real" accent, but if you mean the one she spoke first, during childhood, that would be a Northwestern US accent.
@ikaikasteffens12 its pretty easy to tell, based on the small things she does with her hands, head and neck while talking you can tell she shows predominantly american mannerisms. Those give her away :)
you are by far the weirdest person I think that I have ever seen on here. Ok cool you can do all these accents but do you really have to be so weird about it???
Her American accent is very good... or maybe its her actual accent
English is VERY good, I've been to many places in this world and I'm in New Zealand at the moment and it is one of the HARDEST accents to impersonate yet New Zealander's can't impersonate mine (english) and I find that very interesting. After living here for so long (11 years) I've got hold of it and can now impersonate it, Robin Williams does a good New Zealand accent impersonation, take a look at him.
@lordtufty Yeah, good one. I'm studying languages and linguistics at Cambridge, so I think I'm probably qualified to make a judgement on somebody's accent.
@menglinhai Well seeing as Oxford is the only place that really matters (I'm not only saying that because I study there...), studying at Cambridge doesn't change the fact that you are too inbred to detect a good English accent.
@lordtufty You're not at Oxford... What is a tute, or a scout? What course are you doing? At what college?
Anyway, have you heard of ad hominem? Just because you don't think she has a convincing English accent isn't a reason to start childishly insulting me, just because you happen to disagree. If you went to Oxford (or, indeed, any self-respecting educational establishment), you wouldn't think like that.
@menglinhai I am studying at Oxford actually... at school. But that education is better than the one you get at Cambridge University. (If you do not understand that I am just winding you up you are more stupid than I thought)
@filmbrewer No. A British accent could be Scottish, Northern Irish, Welsh, as well as English. An English accent is one which people who have been brought up in England have. It is exclusively from England.
When your able to speak fluently in sooo many different accents, they do tend to blend without you knowing it, I have had that problem considering i can do atleast 10 different ones and also cartoon characters also.

This is incredible, she has quite a few accents and it sounds natural to me. The melody seemed silly at first, but when I actually listened I could hear plenty of different phrases that matched the melody you did. I want to learn the more stereotypical (rural as well) Canadian accent for humour purposes, but I'd also like to learn more than just that. It seems like something incredibly fun and interesting to be able to switch between accents.
So...where are you from?
