  • It is nice. But most of the guys spoke good accent. These guys are professionals, so we distinguish much. But if you can get the videos of normal ppl from different states then it will be so much of fun to watch. Moreover we can easily make out the difference when ppls from TN,AP, Kerala, Karnataka, Bihar, UP and some north eastern states. By the way i am from AP but settled in USA.

  • @mramakrishnaraju I really wanted to include more non-professional/actor/politic­ian accents but couldn't find many examples in English with good video quality. If you do find some send them my way! :)
