I moved to Barbados a few months ago for school, and despite being part of the Caribbean, has a totally different accent from my home country Grenada.
So, just wondering, what accents do you love/hate?

I like stereotypical Russian, Mexican, and British accents, because they're fun to use.
Indian accents are funny, and I'm working on one, but it's not going well.
Though I can make a conversation between Mickey, Donald, and Goofy just by myself too.

Just throw in a mention to elephants in every other sentence and say you work at 7-11, you'll be set.

lol. I just need to find a key word to help me slip into the accent. Like, I usually say "the scissors" when I start into my [stereotypical] French accent.
I know someone who's got a really good Indian accent though. And there's another person in the same class that has a really good French accent too.

I've got a "Reading accent". No, not the verb reading, the town in Reading. It's hard to describe what it is and I cant find any videos on it. It's similar to a east london accent in a way.

Fuck that.
If you've heard me on XBL, that's what I sound like. So that'd be...Tom and Watch.

Icy's webcam attempt at an Auccent pretty much made my day.
I'm a fan of anything from the other western nations, so mainly Brits and Yanks, slash Canucks. Most Amerigirls can charm me without even trying, they have that cute drawl that you don't really get much over here.
Mallick yes, it's bloody adorable. <3
