      Ivan Reis yeah, most people who do accents or impressions have specific phrases that help them get into the accent/impression. A good example is when Kate McKinnon talked about it on the Ellen Show.

That everyone has an accent is kind of my point, because the accent I'm talking about isn't really thought of as an accent at all, but is likely the local accent of Connecticut or maybe parts of California that spread through mass communication.

    I thought about Fran Drescher when he did Queens. Looked it up: she's born in Queens.

      @@kongvinter33 Queens is not mostly Jewish at all. I looked it up and Jewish people make up about 9% of the population. That is a high percentage compared to the country as a whole but Queens is basically the most diverse area in the USA. I'm from Queens and there's a pocket for every "ethnic" group in the world. It's not mostly anything

      I was a little confused on that one because I'm an upstate New Yorker and I don't pronounce the I in Florida either! Never even been further south than Indiana. Weird.
