Damn it I tried chewing my words, and I sounded like I was making fun of the southerners.

I wonder if she ever forgets what her actual accent is =)

[kettlebabii]

Well how this bitch!

[SPartdesign]

It's believable, but it's a really ugly Aussie accent and her friends would ridicule her behind her back if she was actually Australian and spoke like this..

[TheDrWoopie]

if you say beer can in a british accent you say bacon in jamaican

[RyanLye1975]

The accent you are using for your explanation is your best imitation of the (West) Australian accent

[TheCrispyChips]

you're speaking like a normal person! woo!

[baliphile]

Strewth! Didn't think there were any non-Aussies out there that could come anywhere near mimicking our unique accent. Not bad at all! But you still haven't got the O quite right yet, hey! The second element is closer to French 'ue' than to English 'oo.

[FLIGHTANIMATION]

WOW... That actually did sound like our accent! o.O

[FLIGHTANIMATION]

@FLIGHTANIMATION the part with the O and the R is all wrong though! o.O

[annoyingsquirt]

nar nar nar...Am I Australian yet?

[IamwhatIam5335]

I am Australian and I can vouch for her take on the accent, but hers is more regional. Being from the city, my accent sounds a little less like "chewing" my words, as Amy puts it, and a little more English. Still, good attempt for a foreigner.

I'm an Aussie and she certainly has the sound right. I learnt a lot about how I talk!

I'm Aussie and I talk like that. Actually, since I'm from regional Australia and not the city, my accent is perhaps a little broader still. I'm impressed, well done!

Amy, are you a kiwi? If not, I'm guessing Australian...You have an amazing talent...love your work mate.

[one4sorrow]

This is a good example of the 'Broad' Australian accent commonly known as 'strine'. A better example would be our current Prime Minister Julia Gillard or Steve Irwin. Most of us city folks don't speak like that though. Most of us have a 'General' accent (eg. Hugh Jackman or Eric Bana). However my personal favorite is the 'Cultivated' Aussie accent (eg. Cate Blanchett, Kylie Minogue).

[CaptainGrimes1]

@TheAvestor GERMAN ACCENTS SHOULD BE SPOKEN IN AN EFFICENT GERMAN MANNER!!!

[PiuViccino]

I'm Australian. Not everyone sounds like that. But it's very familiar. Lol I wonder what people think of our accent now... :l

[ciccio1veramenteok93]

PRESS 2 ! 

[jedycah]

@tiartffga 'Strine' is exactly what you've written there. It is a way of describing what an exaggerated, broad (not standard) Australian accent sounds like complete with the dropped consonants, but using real words rather than phonetics. Strine was chosen as the name as that's how a real ocker Aussie with a super strong accent would say Australian.

[2TonyS16]

haahhahaah

[georjaelo]

You're doing more of a rough-outback-bogan-kath-and-k­im-put-another-shrimp-on-the-b­arbie Australian accent. Only a very small percentage of us actually sound like that. You're very talented though :)

[JambalayaCreole]

This woman should train Hollywood

[JambalayaCreole]

She is using a mix of a Broad Australian English (working class) and the General (middle class, Standard Australian English) as opposed to the Cultivated (upper class). Viewer comments like "don't overdo it" are referring to the application of a Broad accent to the Standard accent.

The sample we've seen is probably 95% spot on for General but think it's as close as a foreigner could get, and certainly the closest I've ever heard a US native attempt. More spot on even than an Aussie who was bor

[MissRupertGrint1]

Ugh. I like the aussie accent but it's hard to do. I'm American. British is easier.

[TrueBlueAussieMateTr]

[vanjo6187]

[jetjet360]

@vanjo6187 haha if she has the talent for it

Was this the nurse in RAN?

[vcrmonstermusic]

[definereckless]

amy walker over-does everything, some sound like that but its generally leaning a bit more to american or leaning to english

[TheDarkDimensions]

your accent was good... but if you talk a bit faster it will sound much more spot on :)

[AchillesSmile]

She sounds like Claire from Lost. So I love her.

[ModelTXInfAmY]

I am Aussie and I would say you sound like someone who isn't Aussie trying to do an Australian accent. Basically it sounds shit.

[AllInDrummer]

you can talk to me with any accent you like AALLLL NIGHT BABYYYYYYY

'cause you're hot

[tankmen93]

As an Aussie, you actually had me fooled, sounded like a bogan; but fooled me all the same.

[miaharted]

Thank you, really helpful, have to do this for a show.

[LolaFudge]

You sound like Julia Gillard lol (I'm Aussie)

[ilikevines]

australian here, i think that's a pretty good description to how we pronounce things differently..don't overdo it though!

[voxje]

your green eyes are uber pretty

[Manifesto89]

Aussie here, pretty good accent, sounds great. Maybe a touch sterotypical Aussie like Steve Irwan, but great effort.

[cicero1453]

Do you take accent requests? I'd like to hear Indian, please:)

[ashtickles]

im aussie and i always think that i never sound like this but when i hear myself on videos and stuff, yeah thats my accent ay lol

[PhoenixTearss]

Lol, we (Australians) don't say "G'day"... like ever.

[brendonbody]

@PhoenixTearss

I say it all the time, even overseas I need to stop myself from saying it. I grew up in a small town in outback Queensland.

[PhoenixTearss]

@brendonbody I guess it really depends on where you live in Australia. I rarely hear people say it, but that's probably just 'cause I live near the city.

[Falcofan22]

It seems that most people when they try to use an Australian accent mix in kiwi, Australian is much more relaxed. This accent sounds like that, but picture it wayyy in the outback, you need to think of Brisbane or somewhere more urban, it's nothing like this.

[tmasma]

I'm Australian and I don't really think we 'chew' our words. Like i can see that sure some Australians talk like that, but not all Australians. I don't i guess because I already speak with an Australian accent i don't need to 'chew' my words. I feel like my accent is more refined than that.

[michelleeybabes]

im aussie , and i sound nothing like that .

[RiimeZ]

Lol Im aussie and I dont sound like that at all.

[kymon117]

...And pronounce everything with an O.

"Noice". 

[RavenHairedMaiden]

She's actually not that far off. Only certain words she wavers a little, but I'm a little impressed too. Generally "put on" Australian accents sound... not Australian I suppose. But she's very close.

[RavenHairedMaiden]

@geasse1

She's from seattle :P

[lorraineistheeggman]

I'm actually impressed.

[O0oSorousho0O]

Your "Good" sounds like an Indian accent.

[QueenofPB]

u should try hungarian accent!

this is copy right from Amy Walker

[nolabush25]

[kasaichris]

wow she's good!

[aprilblenk]

You know if you came to Australia and put on that accent, I might actually believe you’re Australian. Not bad at all!

[eckhard]

[s3th300]

@eckhard HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA.........HA!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[magnetxxella]

this is a really broad australian accent. most parts are good, but you've overplayed it a bit. and yeah we don't say mate after everything

[TheMercurykiller]

Im Australian an it sounds pretty real. Sounds like some of off spring.

[buckz55]

try arabic accent ... very hard

[gummybrain]

@buckz55 It depends on which Arabic accent you're going for. Syrian wouldn't be too difficult. It's got some good, distinct sounds to it. Moroccan might be harder, depending on which accents you're used to trying.

[probano]

You should start doing the asian accents

[jfman22345]

hey im Austrailian and she does kind of good i have an American and Australlian accent so yeah and no we don't say maite after everything we say so get it right ok

[ThePigsreallycanfly]

Yah, you're a bit "Shazza" with the accent but not too bad.

[horsegal433]

That really good. I am australian and its pretty believable. although ur g'day mate is a little ott. :) still tho, ur great!

[horsegal433]

thats really good, i am australian and its very believable. but ur g'day mate is a little ott. still, ur great!

[nightarcadia]

little bit too bogan

[ku42]

can you do Indian accent alalalalal plz

[GoDudi]

I wonder what accent you use when you're mad... A whole lot of accent, I guess? Lol.

[Pikapal1]

To do list:

Nigerian, Jamaican, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hong Kong. Then my life would be complete. =D

[anisacali]

@Pikapal1 Umm you do realize Arabic is a language. I come from Somalia(East Africa) and i speak Arabic. My friend is from Turkey and speaks Arabic.

[acehoneyful]

I guess she's gonna have an effin' hard time doing a Filipino accent, haha! ;D

[xMaximumPowerx]

Maby a bit less weed b4 u make another video would be good.

[cicinonobebogino]

i'd love for you to master a jamaican accent. it's so hard to find someone whos not from there who doesn't make a it sound stupid. but otherwise im a drama major at my school & i find your videos are amazing for learning diction :D

[wellsphere1]

try hebrew accent :)

[smalltime0]

fairly good, however as someone from Perth I can say that isn't what people 'round here speak like... it sounds more like someone from the country, rather than the vast majority of the population who live in cities. Then there is also a massive british population in Australia, with british accents.

[tumblingplanet]

chew your words wisely

[Roar198734]

she does better than me and i'm aussie

[Roar198734]

lol i chew when i talk!

[Wildguitar007]

Sounds more New Zealander

[new2hackin]

Sounds pretty real but to be honest, it's a little stronger than most of our aussie girls accents.. Like I barely notice their accents when we're talkin, but you, this, this is really noticeable.

[CHUNDERTHUNDER99]

dont ever do oi oi oi again...you dont deserve to do it

[iheartxMcFlyxGabbiie]

lfmao i like peed my pants when she said "thats aussie mate". sounds like she was trying to seduce something i dunno! lol

[Freshbott2]

I hate it when people say 'Arsey'!

[againstgermany]

lol, if dudes do that it sounds kinda gay..

love Australia though (even funny how u pronounce ur own name ha)

[thtsradd]

@againstgermany Uhmmm, isn't Australian accents like, as manly as they get? o_O

[againstgermany]

@thtsradd well i dunno, I'm not Australian haha

they do say the men are really manly but if i hear british men talking (and don't be hard on me but australian looks pretty similar to british)

[againstgermany]

@thtsradd then i think it sounds pretty fem

[tziokas]

I'm from Melbourne - Aus and her accent is spot on!

[Freshbott2]

I'm from WA, and you Victorians have the funniest accents, gotta love you mob.

[tziokas]

@Freshbott2 hahahahaha how is our accent funny? I went to Darwin once for work and I didn't really pay extra attention to the accent there, How is it dif?

[Freshbott2]

@tziokas Haha you wouldn't notice it 'cause you've probably grown up with it. But the rest of us are always picking shit out'a you guys. Basically the way most Victorians pronounce vowels and stress syllables. The Kath and Kim accent, but not as exaggerated. All my rellies are from down there, so they all speak with it. But don't take it offensively.

[yoyozippy]

i wonder how many ppl sit at their computers and go naooooooo naooooooo naooooooooo

[ambidexterity1]

@yoyozippy I know I did, lol.

[marciemousey]

Parts of this sound like far broader an accent than most of speak here, but very good nonetheless!

[456lexie]

Good job Amy! It's a hard accent to do but I think the only give away it's not your real accent is when you over do it a little bit.

[Alienm00se11]

@456lexie Still I'd never suspect it wasn't her native; thats scary good. Anybody know where shes really from?!?!

[456lexie]

@Alienm00se11 She's from the USA. You should check out her 21 accents vid, it's really good!

[Vanessa61369]

was gooood

[hvf26]

holy shit thats realistic

[darkside5second]

hey its great ur doing these videos and all, i fully support u,, but just a heads up; im australian and we dont talk like that. i dont know anyone who talks like that from australia.

[nipun45]

[kiikat]

ah ha! so i'm not full of it -

i always thought i heard the "nar" hint when hearing an aussie say no

btw great vids ;)

[slxdragon]

I've heard many non-Aussies try mimick Australian - all thumbs down. Amy's actually the first one I've heard who can do a legit version. Well done.
