Can you imitate a foreign accent?

Post Reply New Topic

I can mimick a British accent, a Southern accent, and an Australian accent.

What about you, fellow Aspies?

Can sorta do a British accent.

I can do a stereotypical Glaswegian accent. I consider Glasgow to be foreign.

By British accent do you mean the posh, pompous one?

Not sure. Just like the one you hear on like Charlie bit me. Ju st funny british accent. Sister and I walk around walmart and other public places doing accents. It helps em feel at ease.

I do a pretty good Russian, French, and Australian accent.

I can do a wide variety of accents but I often fall off one and neatly into another.

When I read books to my kids, I make the characters come from different places. It always has them laughing.

I can mimic if I get kicked in the middle a woman or someone from way up north lol nothing personal but people like from New York have high pitched voices and talk way to fast lol

I think we all can....

I can do Australian pretty easy, I can also do Cajun and the slow Southern draw, British is a bit harder and I'm not sure if it's accurate to any region but it's passably British. You'd think that the British accent would be easiest for me though, I lived there three years(6-9) around Oxford and took on the accent.

Indian accents are very much fun.

I can do an American accent, but not well enough to fool an American.

I sometimes say my r's with a slavic accent, though it is accidental.

I can do the English accent (and the Cockney accent too).

I can do a Romanian accent.

I can do a Brooklyn accent (I do live in the U.S.---but in Appalachia---so the Brooklyn accent is quite different from the Appalachian accent).

And I have always been able to impersonate people (I pick up on mannerisms and accents). I can also do some cartoon voices.

I do this too. More than imitating foreign accents, it has become quite common of me to absorb and reproduce the general language I am around, in a random way. I often get asked "where are you from?" or "what accent is that?"

My best answer is that it is a mish-mash-conglomeration of many different accents and mannerisms that I have picked up and do not discern between. My perception is that most people have a standard "accent" that they speak with on a regular basis. That is their speaking voice, part of what defines them. I don't seem to have a regular speaking voice. It shifts and changes depending on where I am and with whom. And I don't mean like speaking politely around your grandmother versus casually around your friends. I mean the whole manner and sounds of words can change, like I might be trying to imitate a foreign accent, except I am really not. That's just how I speak. It comes off to others as an odd curiosity... they've told me so.

I have to intently focus on each word that I say if I wish to maintain a consistent accent in my speaking voice.

I'm so happy I can communicate with you all through text

i like to do accents but i am not talented. i care not that i am not talented and here are a 2 examples i recorded to night of accents. the last one is my natural voice.

i only spent 4 minutes making these files and they are not scripted so pay little attention to the content.

i am not very good at imitating accents, but i like to talk in alternative modes often.
