Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: can u do a british/english accent? i can. i took me a while. i'm still learning other accents, because i have my heart set on acting and sometime u may need an accent. i'm very passionate about acting. so can u do any accents? i can do english (0xford), cockney, american southern, american western, new york, south african, italian, and french. Yes, and a halfway decent Cockney one as well (but that sometimes turns Scottish about halfway through). I do German, French, The South, English, and Spanish. I liked DiCaprios Boer accent in Blood Diamond, I would like to practice that. I only use them in public. I can do And Irish Accent on account of my Great Gram is from Ireland i'm pretty good at imitating her. nope :) The first time I realized I could actually do an accent was when I got called to audition for a multi-media project in which I would have to have a Polish accent. I didn't even know what a Polish accent sounded like. I rented "Sophie's Choice" and also learned that a friend of mine's late father was Polish, so my friend helped me learn the accent quickly. I only had a few days before the audition. I nailed the audition and got the job. I thought I would never need a Polish accent again, but within the same year, there was a play with another Polish character. I nailed that audition and got that, too. Since then, I've had to do a Scottish accent, US Southern, British RP, and I am now working on an Irish accent for my current show. I have also taught myself French, but have yet not had a chance to use it in a show. It really is a useful skill to have. I'm sorry I didn't study dialects earlier. Great job for learning a British accent - that one has come in most handy for me (four or five shows so far.) Keep up the good work! I can do a bunch of different English ones, German, southern, and a halfway decent Swedish accent |
