I don't know about you, but I love the members with the Euro accents on the forums. I think it's really cool. Me personally, I'm filipino, but my accent is like 0.000000001% because I only slip up on certain words sometimes. What accents do you guys dig?  Grin

I do a pretty good job of concealing my Deep Southern U.S. accent but when I get angry, it pretty much comes out strong.  So, I believe the next Sith Character Uncle George creates, needs to say "Y'all Jedi better watch out!"

i used to do a bunch of improv and always played the foreign guy because i used to be very good at mimicing various accents

actually, one time one of my mates and i were in an Adidas outlet buying new football boots for the outdoor season (hehe picked up a 300$ set of predators for 89$ that day)

the girl at the cash as we were finishing up the transaction asked me when i came over, we looked at her a little dumbfounded and asked what she meant

turns out she was from northern ireland, and i guess with the way we were talking about the premier league, the way we pronounced certain players and team names, a hint of a Uk accent crept in

she just assumed we had been in canada for a number of years and had lost most of the accent



its not the first time its happened, but it was one of the more memorable ones

I can do a fair number of different accented English...  comes from watching a lot of TV.

So, back in high school, the easiest one to do at the time was Scottish, and I did it one time backstage during a theater performance, only to have another student look at me and ask where in Scotland I was from.  Considering I was born in Kentucky, I found that hilarious.

I love the scottish accent, and can kinda do that, but according to my family, all my accents are Scottish, but i say stereotypical things.

  Funny, I had a customer from Tennessee ask me if he could speak with another sales rep today because he thinks the guy his wife is cheating on him with is from New York.  I asked how that meant I couldn't help him and got told that it was obvious from my accent I was from there to and just listening to me speak was making him madder.  "No Offense" he added. 
  I told him, "Well if the guy your wife is with sounds like me don't bother buying a hidden camera from me just start the divorce proceedings.  Us Cajuns feel the women of Yankees like you are fair game and once she has been with a real man nothing you could do would ever satisfy her, NO OFFENSE!" 
   I got to listen to him stammer for a good 3 minutes before I hung up on him.  When he called back back I pretended to be British, told him "there, there" and sold him a $1000 in spy gear.  Even said "Cheerio!" when I hung up.

Reminds me of a time that Artorius decided to introduce himself as "my friend from North Wales" to my fencing team.  That was amusing...

   Lol don't mean to self promote here but if any of you are interested in some cool spy gear  www.minigadgets.com  Depending on what your interested in I may be able to give you a good deal, just depends on what my markup is.  And so you know the voice changer won't help your accent.
