Anything would be appreciated. I need to learn how to talk with a russian accent because I am playing a mad russian scientist in a school play.

Mad Russian scientists are usually pretty good at English : )
Roll your "R" a lot, no "th" sound, instead "z", example: the weather= ze weazeR
No "ing" sound, instead "ink". Example: something= somezink.
Also depends what part of Russia, but those are details.
You can email me,Russian linguistics major, I think I can help you.

Not that I know of. Try watching these movies though, for great examples of real Russians and good actors doing the accent: Doctor Zhivago, The Saint, Hunt for Red October.

Probably. Just type in what you need to know, like 'learn Russian accent' or something in a search engine such as yahoo or google. Hopefully that helped!

Go to Blockbuster and rent some movies with Russian characters (ie., James Bond films like The Spy Who Loved Me). All I can remember is that Russian people drop articles ("the" and "a") when they speak English..."I buy car"..."I go store, buy food"...

Just watch movies. or old star trek episodes. The Terminal. Tom Hanks' character is actually from Krakozhia , which isn't a real country, but sounds a bit Soviet-ish to me.
