Any American accent. I heard a women who was American around a shop in the UK. Anyway, her accent was so obvious that it stuck out like a sore thumb within the shop.

It was so different, almost alien. I shamelessly followed her around discreetly just to hear more of it

Gotta be Russian

I am a fan of English accents. :3
As for accents I randomly put on... Russian.   I don't know where it comes from.  It just sneaks up on me.

[wafflez]

Doing Russian and Indian accents are always fun.

[ManOfSteel]

Favourite accents to randomly start talking in: Scottish and American.

I find consciously doing accents difficult. If I'm around a certain accent for a protracted period, I start speaking with that accent.

My favourite accents to hear are Russian, Polish and Charleston, south of Broad.

But my fave is likely Scottish,ever since hearing Sheena Easton on an episode of The Tonight Show. When she would say, "Johnny", my ears would melt....

<3ly accent..


I like ****aigne, Welsh and Scottish in Britannia.
Russian, German and Indian accents are fun to hear!

I have an English accent that has some similarities with Greek accent.

When I try to imitate Scottish accent, it looks like a hybrid of Scottish Scandinavian (inb4 we're totally different) and Russian. [Thanks to the movies and video games!]

French. And of course Russian (because it's mine ;])

Same here. Once had a fellow PnP gamer from Wales pull me aside and ask if I was making fun of him. NO!!! I did not realize I had been using his accent in game for the past few hours, and explained my 'talent' for mimicry, and love of accents.

I can't imagine being enamoured with American accents. In the west for example, there isn't really an accent to speak of. Syllables are stressed with regularity. I find the more distinct accents like southern and east coast to be obnoxious. There's so much elegance in French or British, and Russian sounds commanding, almost domineering. A native Mexican just rolls the dialog out. I visited Thailand years ago and it was fascinating to hear a man speak with assertiveness and then a woman almost sing the language. So yeah, I'm biased, but American accents are just blah.

 I love to hear American accents from actors with a good ear, and does not go for the stereotypical drawls, pronouncements, etc. Some of the VO folks are incredibly versatile, too.

Here in Colorado, it's like there IS no accent. It's the center of the country, and it's like all accents converge here and cancel each other out. I don't know how you would even mimic a Colorado accent. ::shrug::

I don't understand the appeal with a French accent. To me, we sound like d-bags, especially when trying to sound smart in a foreign language. I use an American accent but if I'm having fun it will sound like Spanglish.

I'm also trying to modulate my English with a fake Canadian accent, and the French Canadian is also hilarious.

[Milan92]

Somtimes I'm able to do a British accent or even Irish.

My favorite accents are probably Scotish (Ewan McGregor style), Italian and....well British

Best accents in the world:  anything Caribbean (Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, Guyana etc).   No mention of these yet?  Hands down the best to hear and try to speak in. 

I also like Scottish accents, from Ewan MacGregor to Groundskeeper Willie.

The most interesting accent I ever heard, was from an airport worker in Fayetteville NC. I'm american and from CA. But this guy sounded different than the usual southern accent. I could barely understand him - maybe he was from a rural area or something .

That must be problematic for his job.

Having lived in AZ in my youth, I would start with any local terms, phrases, etc that are viable. For instance, when I was living out that way, folks would ask for a 'pop'; not soda (Illinois), Coke (here is North MS), or soda pop (possibly NE states).

As for the accent itself, that is why I believe a good ear is required, as I also seem to hear it all blended. This may be a reason why I detest the GWTW drawl so many utilize, when I have only heard a few folks actually speak with such a heavy syrup to their voice. And one of those was my sister who began using it in order to get better tips! And she was born a Yankee!

I have a mild scouse accent, being from the outskirts of Liverpool like. But while the South Liverpool accent like Ringo "ey fellahs, I've got a hole in me pocket." is OK, the north Liverpool is pretty horrible. "a'right laaah"

Pedantically, there is no 'British' accent. You won't find the same accent from county to county, or country to country.

This one is ****ing hilarious to us English (and probably most others TBH)
