What foreign accent could you put on effectively for a day?

Question

Be persuasive.

An accent foreign to you - so if you're English could you put on a Southern US accent, if you're French can you do a good Scottish accent, etc.

I am loving these answers.

Answer 1

Italian, pu`o dirmi come arrivare gli oggetti smarriti ?

mio bella tipa o raggaza...

Bella bella mio bella rosa mio molto molto, si fantastico

si si si si, veramente veramente veramente.
ti amo, ti amo, ti amo.

Me no speaka da lingo, explaina to,a mio.

mio non comprehendre speaka moro sloweely

Pick the bones out of that, you won't know if we are going home together or not, of course if you are a girl we won't be, unless it's for tea!

I forgot, and did a spell check, it whizzed round like a darlek;-)

Grazie, Cassandra

Answer 2

I grew up in a British colony, and so I grew up with lots of British teachers and people around me - so over the years, I've learned how to do a just about perfect British accent. I did it when drunk once, and people were asking me where in the UK did I hail from.

I go to college in America, though, so I can (and tend to) speak with a general mid-Atlantic dialect that you find most Americans speak with.

Years of anime has led to a pretty convincing Japanese accent, and I don't mean a thick one that kind of mocks them as a people. Just a light general one that I've heard from those who go to omy school, and those I've seen on TV.

Canadians are also very prevalent where I come from, and I'd worked at jobs and such with them before. So I know how to do a great accent from there; it's not difficult, it's just a very slight change from the American accent.

I also know how to say things in a French accent, because I took French for seven years. In fact, I launch straight into my French accent if I'm reading something aloud in French - unintentionally. My teacher would be proud. :)

I lived in a very international nation, so I heard many accents on a daily basis. I guess you could say it just rubbed off on me, because I can do a lot of them very well.

Answer 3

I can do almost any accent --

British - I've been an Anglophile since I was 4.

German - I lived in Austira for a year and a half and spoke fluent German.

Eastern Indian - worked for an Indian man for a year and do a killer impression of him.

Italian - my husband speaks Fluent Italian

French (kind of) No good reason here.

Aussie - Come on,who CAN'T imitate Steve Irwin.

New Zealander - I have a very good friend from New Zealand and I love the way she talks. "I'm going to beed. Can't get it out of my heed".

New York - It's a gift.

Texas - I'm a native, I'd better be able to do this one.

Virginian (one of my faves) - HEAVY southern accent. Just fun to do.

Japanese - lived there as a young girl.

I totally suck at Scottish. Can't do it.

If I had to choose one for a whole day, I could totally pull off British. In fact, when I was 18 my boyfriend introduced me to all of his friends as a Londoner and I had them going for weeks.
