RE: Atheist Forums Accent Tag! Round 2
August 1, 2014 at 4:11 pm
I'm too shy to make this video but I'll try in the next days... Since I'm a non native my accent is most likely a mix between british and american, according to the influences I received in music, videogames and films, as well as highschool. But it's pretty neutral actually, portuguese is a language with few highs and downs vocally so it's pretty easy to have a reasonable english accent, unlike our neighbours the spanish who possess a strong latin accent while speaking english

If you do one I'm game. In fact, that could be a pretty funny idea, we could have a list of accents and you have to try and do them.

Isn't it hard for a british with the typical accent to perform an american accent? I mean I could make the case of me copying portuguese from brazil, but it would sound unoriginal and look like a forgery

I'm a bit bashful. I'd rather see you do it. It would be funny seeing an American try a British accent also.

Well, in my experience it's pretty easy to do an American accent, but, I'm not sure if the yanks would agree with me.

If you're good at faking you could make a video copying different accents, like the russian, german, south american and asian ones. It would be hilarious. The russian one particularly has made me read the word 'comrade' with a different pronunciation

Somehow my Quicktime player got corrupted, so I need to download a new one.
