Am I the only one? I can talk in different dialects. My Philadelphia accent is pretty decent.

I'm pretty good at speaking in an Irish accent. I'm working on perfecting my English accent.

The best accents I can mimic are British and Southern accents. I can also make my voice go really high-pitched to where I sound like a girl. :wink:

I'm good at accents, but I can't do it if someone right out asks me too. I get too nervous! I'm pretty okay at imitating peoples' speaking pattern and inflection on an individual basis, too. And okay at imitating voices. Like Tom Ripley. >:]

I'm kinda good at accents and voices, but my consistency is bad. Too runny.

Yeah I'm pretty good at some different accents but my mind has to switch somehow for me to do them - then I don't have to think about it, it just flows. It's fun

I've done alot of voice acting in my projects and I was told that I was very good at changing my voice.
I could do prank calls if I wanted to. :lol:

Can I speak in different accents?... no, but I can speak in other voices by changing the pitch or exaggerating my speech and memorize them for use later. I find it quite fun and can be very funny in the presence of a friend. It helps when making unique dialogue because it can be pretty silly. I like changing my voice for that :)

On a separate note I have two natural voices. One which is kinda meek and is my most natural voice which occurs when I'm calm and is kinda... i don't know... genderless. Then I have another natural voice that gets put on when I'm upset or more uneasy or in serious situations which is a little more guyish and serious.

I've picked up Cockney pretty well from my Grandad.

Can also do a Scottish one pretty good.

This thread needs to change into uploaded videos of the accents for everyone to see!

I used to make lots of different voices as a kid but I kind of quit doing that because people made fun of me & bullied me a lot for that & lots of other things. I sometimes talk & laugh like Beavis & ButtHead around certain people & I can also sound like Weird Al Yankovic at times to
