Not bad at all. I would know you werent Irish but its a good effort. It could nearly pass for the neutral mid Atlantic accent that a lot of clowns in Dublin have somehow developed. As another person said you could probably fool a foreigner. Are you able to speed it up a bit cos it sort of sounds to me like you are concentrating on every word which is a bit of a giveaway.

@thewalls111 thanks:) I'm still working on it, so I'll try to get it faster. It's a work in progress:)

You do it a lot better than other accents I've heard here hehe!

Its not to heavy which is good!

What movies did you watch I would love to know I might know a few others you could check out.

I don't really know what tips to give lol! I've never really thought about my accent haha!

One thing about the Irish accent is it varies cos different countries have different accents. Might be a good idea to check out which one you like best :)

@fluffyvolkswagen haha Thank you!!! I watched Waking Ned Devine <3 and yeaaah I went to a Chieftains concert and heard them talk but that's about it.

@fluffyvolkswagen I guess what I'm trying to get to is like if you randomly heard me talk like this, and you had never met me, would you think I was Irish? yeah, that's it :3

To be perfectly honest with you, I actually didn't hear an Irish accent anywhere in the video, but judging by the comments you seem to need a little bit of work. I think you could work a bit more because 2 people haven't heard it. Not trying to be mean by the way (:(:

im from Dublin and you sound NOTHING like a dub lol, when you live outside of dublin the accent will change every 10-15 minutes you drive, seriously. You sound like your trying to do an armagh accent but it just sounds like a really bad leprechaun accent lol sorry :/ keep trying tho !! :)

[lauraluvsyuh]

Just alot of common words and your sorted :)

Sorted = your right

Grand = good

Deadly = great

Well = hello

Your mad = can be a compliment , as if yer nuts , but also good if yer funny

No bother = its okay

there a few words im always getting questioned about from people outside ireland .

Um it's kind of like a really really light northern accent or mabey like a connaught

Accent I'm not really sure all I know is you could not pass off being from Kildare, my home land!
