    You really captured the part in the transatlantic accent. Not only was the accent flawless, but you also forced yourself to smile extra big, and show all your teeth, which is something entertainers like Frank Sinatra were trained to do in the old days. Classic. I loved this.

      German(mainly the stereotypical nazi accent)
      Spanish(spain version)
      this irish accent 0:21
      Scottish accent(which ironicly enough, gets thicker when I'm drunk)
      Russian
      and This Ausie accent 1:25
      Plus a good majority of the american accents we have here.
      When ever I start doing it for long periods of time, I have a hard time trying to stop myself from doing it more.

      When I first saw this video several years ago and this one was the first Amy Walker video I'd ever seen, I wasn't creeped out. However, it does bring back a feeling. It's the same feeling I get when I'm around theater actors. It's the feeling when you can't tell if the person is actually acting or being sincere in what they are saying. It's a very disconcerting feeling. Watching this video without any background information, it's difficult to know which accent is the real one (if it was even displayed here). Though, I've since seen more of her videos and I think I know her real accent. However, she could still be putting that one on just for her videos.

    I always find it interesting how many people will criticize accents from a particular region or country without realizing that there is no such thing as a specific accent. All people in all areas of the world have variations of their regional dialect. Therefore, as long as you are in the correct vocal range, all criticism is essentially invalid. Most people live within a microcosm of reality, and have little reference beyond that.

Chicago's accent is mostly mainland European influenced, and those people didn't have a significant impact on the Southern accent, so I'd like to know how the Chicago White accent is Southern influenced, because the Northern Cities Vowel Shift isn't present in any part of the South.

      The only thing I have left I haven't done is work with a vocal coach, yet with my progress thus far and hearing how amazing she is with many of these, it's both encouraging, and discouraging at the same time since I want to strive to this, yet feel I'll never reach it.
