Question:Specifics would be, uh, Northern Ireland or around the London area. I've been looking for a decently priced book/CD but I'd like to see what you guys have to say. Also, this is for acting purposes if that helps anyone.

you know, you dont need that, the best way to lern british accent is watch british movies, bbc, listen radios from there.... I lernt the accent by that way....

of course, you have to listen the sentenses and then pause the move and repeat lots of time till you can say that with the accent...

i personally don't know any...but go to like the united kingdom version on myspace and study certain words and phrases they use like that is so fetch or cheerio..lol... and look up british accents on youtube and watch british movies these should all help all my friends say i should have been born in the united kingdom or something...lol..
~hope this helps ;D

Irish films like "The Commitments", "My Left Foot" and "The Crying Game" are a good start. Real Irish accents from real Irish actors.

Irish is hard, listen for the vowel sounds.
