I don't think I have much of an accent, more like I slur my words a bit. You can still understand what I'm saying, but it's damn annoying. If I could have any accent, it would be Japanese.

I shift accents based on my vocabulary and grammar. If I say something like "You will enjoy time here." I only left out one word. From then on, RUSSIAN ACCENT!

I hear a single British accent and BAM! Can't help it.

And then I have just strange combo accents that you couldn't place for the life of you. Aussie has a tendency to get combined with something else if I try it.

But Russian is my fav. NOW YOU WILL SHUT UP YES?

You can never have a real conversation with someone from northern Europe and NOT notice it. It's something they can't help.

I often use a Scottish, or occasionally Italian, accent when talking with people in my neighborhood. Because I live in a neighborhood of criminals and I prefer that they know as little about me as possible.

For the purposes of comedy, I switch around English, Irish, Russian, and Old English, depending on my level of insane.

I dabble a bit with all accents but I normally stick to my Michiganian accent

I use an accent 100% of the time I talk, and I do it impeccably because... it's a Wisconsin accent and it's MINE.

Heh, nah, with foreign accents I try not to. Of all the people in the world unfit to attempt other dialects, Wisconsinites are one of them.

...eh?

If I'm making a joke that involves a hoighty-toighty attitude; British.
And occasionally I'll slip into either a Russian or German accent on a whim.

It's not quite the same as everyone else, but I have a southern accent and I've trained myself not to use it when I don't want to. :D That, and I like annoying people with a terrible British accent.

I take my hand at accents, including: British, Scottish, Spanish (Mexican), Japanese, Canadian, German, and Nekian. Unfortunately, the only ones that are even halfway convincing, are the first 3. But, they all get laughs, so...

EDIT: Russian! That's the one I forgot. Thanks, Sable. =^.^=
