Go to glasgow with a knife and ask the nearest man in a tracksuit for a chib. He will teach you all the accents you desire.
Don't forget to wave your knife in his face, it shows that you're willing to learn.
I'm British and I don't like my accent, I'd rather have an eastern European one (e.g Russian etc).
[QUOTE=BURN DOWN;25684304]Get a Texan accent. So much more badass.[/QUOTE]
As a Texan, with out an accent, I'd like to inform you that deep southern drawls will drive you crazy.
They are lots of accents all over britain.
I spoke so much in other accents I think I actually lost my original one.
I can speak various accents. My French one possibly being the most stereotyped and insulting.

No. They will just shout disapproving comments and go back to being twats.
Depends, the are a variety of different British accents. I'm from Birmingham some people around here "some" like me struggle to pronounce their "TH's" so like saying throw comes more out like frow. But yet I can pronounce it when I say "The" and "Their."
Rather annoying since my girlfriend keeps pointing it out and attempting to teach me. I will never learn to say it though.
You most likely end up learning an accent from round London most common one used in movies and probably the easiest to learn.
By the way don't learn from killing floor it just stereotypes the accent and in my opinion is fake.
I think the Irish accent is just win though also depending on where they come from or Yorkshire northerner is rather cool.
I like the majority of english accents
except when little kids have them, british kids annoy me more than anything

I'm guessing that by now everybody knows what this guy sounds like?
I sound quite a bit like him. It's a great accent, you should try it. It instantly reduces the amount of respect anybody would otherwise give you.
[QUOTE=FreddiRox!;25683958]Trade voice boxes with me.
I hate my voice. I have a slight lisp just so you know.
Whenever I join a server on Counter Strike they go "Oh hey its harry potter" and the other day someone said "Your a wizard harry." everytime I went to speak on Project Reality.
Believe me it sucks.[/QUOTE]
Lmfao not for us.

What kind of British accent? Scottish? English? Welsh?
[QUOTE=dag10;25683915]British accents sound awesome, no?
Is it possible to form a British accent that I can switch on any time I wish?
British accents sound awesome, and people with British accents, even if not British themselves, are listened to much more.[/QUOTE]
You should go visit other European countries, put on a british accent and see how your treated, everyone hates them.
which one?
America doesn't have a accent.
In my opinion of course.
My accent changes subconsciously depending on who I'm talking to.
When I play over the net, americans think I'm british, brits think I'm american and Aussies just get confused.
Also I'm terrible at doing an australian accent when it's the only one I should actually be good at.
British accent sucks

Kids with the Southern U.S accents are way worse.
Fuck for that matter the Southern U.S accent is extremely annoying.
I've been unintentionally developing a cockney accent over time, but I'm one of those people who shifts accents every once in a while. :saddowns:
Change your vowels about.
Say "Air hair lair", and you'll sound like a posh/incredibly camp person saying "oh, hello". So "o" as in toe should be pronounced as an "e" as in meh but elongated.

Listen to that voice, it is not interesting. Why would you want to talk like us?
[QUOTE=PvtVain;29587927]America doesn't have a accent.

It doesn't have AN accent. It has loads of different ones and, for example, none of them sound like anything from Britain.
How can you have no accent? So long as accents exist for the language you speak, you have an accent.
You pronounce things in different way to people who speak the same language.
Id love to have a Russian accent.
I probably have an Australian one, but i dont know.
