  • Sammi Grant has an ear for accents-so much so that she can flawlessly speak English in 12 different accents from around the world. How does she do it? Grant says that being legally blind helped her become more in-tune with her hearing. Now, as a dialect coach, she uses her talent to teach stage and television actors how to speak with accents from Australia to Scotland to Russia.

    can y'all stop bashing her? jesus. she does stereotypical accents as much as realistic ones. but either way, she's amazing.

    I always wanted to have a Hillbilly accent. That would make people really surprised since I'm asian.

    She kinda sounds like Emma Watson when she speaks in the English accent.

    She was on Buzzfeed and the comments were so rude toward her just because it's Buzzfeed. I'm glad everyone is appreciative and kind in these comments.

    You guys should (if you haven't) make a much, much longer video about her and her work. This stuff is very interesting to me and I bet to a lot of other people.

    Ok people saying "omg so many haters in the comments" shut your lying ass up, I scrolled through everything (yeah I was bored) and there's literally ZERO negative comments. Zero.

    Thanks for this great story. I love the way some people are able to work around their disabilities and discover a special talent ... and then go on to make the best of it. Not only does Sammi Grant have an ear for accents, but an ability to replicate them in speech.

    Oh my gosh she makes me crack up with those hilarious scenarios: "why don't you call me? that's alright, whatever. i just pay for your college tuition."

    I would love to hear her try the singaporean accent! Many people cant really copy it well when they hear it the first few times :)
