I can do a french and scottish accent.

Eh not really. I can do a real good southern accent though, but mainly because I have one. Not the hillbilly redneck kind though. Although some stuff I say probably sounds real hillbilly. I can do a good Boston and New Jersey accent too.

Can you ACTUALLY do a Scottish accent? Most people who think they can really can't, the same as the english accent.

When I see his posts, I fill with righteous rage.

Well, I made about 5 random people think I was scottish while talking to them. ^_^

(yes, I did go up to 5 random people in the street and start speaking in a scottish accent. Don't ask why).

I can also actually do a english accent!

^Is english.

I can speak french with a french accent... apparantly...
If I'm in the mood, I can do a passable brummy accent...

People say I sound like I am British, although I have never been to Europe. I would love to have a British accent though, the way they talk is just so funny

Would this be Media "British" (which doesn't exist) or one of about a million English accents?
I'm gonna guess Estuary English, that's the one most represented in the Media.

I can manage to get rid of my local dialect when I need to sound more professional, but Im horrible at most accents. I cant do any sort of Southern American for anything, and I cant get over how strange people from Minnesota or the Dakotas sounded when I drove through. I wouldnt attempt British accents. Too many to distinguish, and I'd end up sounding like a muddled thing. I think the only thing I can do kind of well is French in French. Not Southern French though, as I cant understand them too well either.

When I was little, I used to pretend I was from Transylvania. Later on I had a friend with Romanian parents, heard then talk, and realized I sounded really bad.

Ooh, I wish I could do a 'Hungarian speaking English' accent so I could pretend to be foreign in sticky situations, but I can't

The two words I can say with a Scottish accent are 'I'm SCOTTISH'

When I was in America a few years ago I got asked if I was from England.

Because, y'know, Australian and British accents are so similar.

Hmm...! Well I'm a bit rubbish in general, but my Brummie isn't too bad & my Welsh is alright until is starts spinning off into some strange Indian accent!

I am desparate to do the Irish accent Grah!

OH AND AUSTRIAN Yes, baby! I can do that accent. Oh yes.

that's me.

Well, yeah. I mean, the only obvious difference is that you people say "didgeridoo" instead of "trombone" and "kangaroo" instead of "Margaret Thatcher." And "platypus" instead of "lorry." Other than that, you're like twins.

I can do a pretty good "Texan" accent, since I've certainly had relatives that speak with it (including my parents, but they grew up in different parts of Texas than I did).
The area I grew up in has such a high turnover rate and is so culturally diverse that I almost don't hear accents anymore, unless they've VERY strong. This has resulted in me having pretty much a nondescript accent. I've had people think I'm from New York before, and at the time, I'd never even *visited* there!

Not really. This is a slight problem as of a few weeks ago, because I'm going to a drama camp, and we've been filming a movie, and my character has a French accent, and I'm sure I'm completely screwing that up.

I can't really identify or tell the difference between most accents. So I'd probably confuse British and Australian...and then I'd confuse them both with German or Italian or something...seriously.

Also, I can do a pretty good impression of a generic-something-or-other-ish-type-girl-thing-in-an-overly-stereotypical-school-with-labeled-cliques-and-stuff (as I said, I can't identify accents well ), but I'm not sure if that counts as an accent, really.

I'm sure the rest of the world would confuse kiwi/aussie accents, and canadian/(non-southern) american accents even more
Do accents from countries that you used to live in or are part of your cultural background count? I didn't think so . I guess the answer to the original question is no- I can't do any passable "foreign/fake" accents (not even french, which I studied for 7 years! ).
