Doing Accents?

brummytom · 13-10-2009, 09:26

Are you good at imitating accents?
I know a lad who can do a ridiculous number of accents, all amazingly well. When I saw Michael McIntyre last week, he did quite a few accents - and to be fair to him, his Birmingham accent was spot on.

Yesterday, me and a mate of mine had to act out a View From The Bridge scene in English. He attempted an Italian accent, but sounded more like Bob Marley trying to do an impression of Ghandi.. we stuck with brummy accents.

I can do Northern Irish decently, we had a teacher come on our bus and shout "Set Doyn Noy!" (Sit Down Now) a lot.. so yeah. And I can do a good inner city dub one too.. but any other, noo.

So yeah, can you, if yes, what ones?

And yes, this is pointless but I'm off school sick so just humour me

no offence, but that sounds more like a Geordie trying to do cockney rhyimg slang.

Nope I’m one of those people who tries to put on a Scottish accent and I end up sounding like I’m from Deli.

Oh yeah, the first one is Geordie. 'Giz a pint o Bovril wirrus tea, pet.'

I can do loads of different accents, but one of my favourite to do is also one of the hardest to maintain. The South African accent. It's so brilliant but deadly to keep up.

In all I can do around 40 different regional accents quite well. Although I can't do them all one after another, I have to get into it first. And maintaining most of them is quite difficult.

An American walked into an English pub and ordered a pint of Budweiser.
The barman replied "You're American aren't you?"
The American says, "Wow, yeah buddy. Could you tell by the Budweiser I ordered, or the accent?"

The barman replied. "Neither, you're just the fattest fu<k I have ever seen."
