I'm trying to master a number of different accents in English. I'm quite pround of some of them, but other are just plain bad...
Here is the link to the file file (1,4 mb) I would really appreciate comments on these. I would like to know how good they are and I'd also be curious on where you would place the different accents. Edited by elvisrules on 20 January 2010 at 5:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Wow pretty good. I'd say the first was a French or Belgian accent, then Irish, British, and Indian.

First: French
Second: At first I thought Scottish but then it sounded more Irish and even a bit Northern Irish at one point. Quite watered down. Third: English, Londoney I guess. (but I'm from the North of England so I can't place Southern accents very well) Forth: Indian 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Learning how to speak different accents is something that really interests me, but I'm not exactly sure of the best way to go about it.
To others who have done this, what process have you used to get used to the different sounds of a particular accent? Does anyone know of any good programs that are designed for actors to learn different accents? I'm sure there must be some about, but my searches haven't really been successful. I would love a Pimsleur style program which could teach me Welsh or Estuary English, but I'm not sure if that would actually exist! 1 person has voted this message useful | |
