Neat video.

So do any of y'all talk like the accents depicted here, or are they grossly exaggerated? :D

The London ones are a little accurate.
Dublin one is fine.
Belfast is a little off
Scottish is okay but not hard to impress.
The foreign ones are good, I think.

The Texas one is just simply awful, so is the South Carolina one. I think the Europe ones sound well, but maybe that's just what I hear on TV/movies and it's not accurate to real life.

I don't think the English ones sound that accurate. They just sound like someone putting it on - I've certainly never come across someone who sounds like that and I live very close to London.

Her vowel sounds aren't quite right. I think she was probably born and raised in America because there is no way she is English and the accents are very VERY sterotypical.


Reminds of of this woman, who is hilarious, with her "English" accent:

She seems to have the Brooklyn accent down. But don't think that all New Yorkers talk like that. Yea, I do say "tawk" instead of "tahlk", but other than that, I don't sound like some dude out of the Sopranos.

Hahahaha that lady is great. She's so very bad, it's actually somewhat good.

I love her English version of coffee - COFFEH! Now I always think of coffee as COFFEH.

Till I moved to the States I unfortunatly sounded like the second London accent at the start, but no one could understand me so I had to tweek the way I spoke and its kind if stuck.
However when I'm really angry it cones out, my husband thinks it funny as hell

I wish she would have tried to do WI, I would have liked to hear what she thinks I sound like lol usually people are way off and try to say I sound like Fargo which is not right!

Not quite up to acting standard, unfortunately for her. :p

Her Scottish, Irish and Northern Irish ones were pretty awful.

yeah, the "texas" one was just PAINFUL to listen to!

there are a few words here in the south we'll throw in the heavy accent when saying just because its fun and stereotyped LOL
