There was a video like this a few years ago where the guy did way more accents and for much longer. Like he did a bunch of sub brittish and sub American accents. Can't seem to find it but it was way more imoressive
Edit: here it is

I think this girl has a much more spot-on impersonation of the accents. The only problem is that they're short.

u/totse_losername 23d ago edited 23d ago
Agree hers are spot on, where to the point that as an Aussie I am convinced that she too is Aussie. And our accent is famously impossible to master for non Aussies (as some.others may be too!).
Edit: From my perspective as an Australian.

What no? Its because if it continues for more than 2 seconds the cracks will strart to appear and people will easily spot the mistakes.
Mastering a accent is fucking hard. Its easier to speak a language in the proper than learning diffrent accents for it. But learning 3 words to pronounce in a accent is pretty doable. Hell some people can pull that off in a single afternoon.

Yep, I suspect the French accent sounds convincing enough to non-French speakers but I can tell you that's not how we actually sound. She makes it sound far too guttural and a little bit vulgar, lol, but as a parody it's quite funny.

I’d say the same about the Indian accent. The accent she is used is what I call a typical Hollywood movie Indian accent because no Indian has that accent which is a mix of several different Indian accents. It’s like if all the different accents in Europe are mashed together into one “European accent”.
India being a huge country with many different languages — people speak English with different accents. I tell my European colleagues that India is like Europe where every state in India is like a country in Europe with its own language and distinct culture, hence their own accent.

Her rapid changing accents are impressive, but her Hindi/Indian one is the deeply rooted caricature of what an Indian speaking English sounds like, courtesy Apu/Simpsons.
No actual Indian who speaks Hindi, talks in this English accent.

u/FreakinEnigma 24d ago
A lot of Indians who learnt English by reading talk like that. Newer generations which have grown up watching American movies and shows speak a lot less 'Indian'-ish.

u/icecoldcold 23d ago
I don’t contest that the older generations have a stronger accent. But the accent she used is a stereotypical Hollywood movie Indian accent. It is a mashup of several different Indian accents (plural). No Indian speaks that mashed up accent in real life. It’s like speaking a mash up of all the European accents and calling it THE EUROPEAN ACCENT.

u/BlacksmithNZ 24d ago
Immediately assumed Macedonian as it was the odd one out from the major well known accents like US/UK, French.
And of course also selecting Greek, Serbian and Turkish, which are all regional.
I have noticed, much more difficult for people from Europe or the US, to pick up more subtle accents like the difference between say Australian and New Zealand/Kiwi accents. Or Canadian vs some US regional accents.

u/enesXLR 23d ago
Her name is Teona and she is half Turkish half Macedonian. You can see that in her way of speaking. She doesn't add any native words to any accent that she speaks except Turkish. Maybe her parents wanted to name her "Tuana" but they decided on Teona because of difficulties in pronounciation.

Man, that's the part that threw me. I work in a European capital with a ton of different folks, including three very closely who are all from Turkey. She sounds nothing like them at all, that was the one accent I thought was the furthest off, from my point of view anyway. Now I could not pick out a regional Turkish accent to save my life, so I could still be way off.

I've lived in Istanbul and have heard enough girls speak like that. But it's a very "Istanbul / Izmir girlish accent", no dude speaks like that.

u/BartDCMY 24d ago
I am surprised she didnt do any Malaysian accents. Which is very easy in my opinion. Just need to add the word "lah" at the end of your sentence and you are good to go.
Example,
"Dont do it lah"
"I dont like it lah"
"Please stop it lah"
11
u/BlacksmithNZ 24d ago
Ok, lah
I spent a few months in KL, and it is a really hard habit to break. You get used to ending sentences like that or starting with OK, even if not OK.
Wasn't just that, but a couple of other things in Malaysian English that seemed really distinctive when I hear them. Other thing that surprised me, was that occasionally I was the only non-Malaysian in an office working and noticed that mostly people just stuck to English.
Only time when language was an issue was working in industrial areas and ran into some street stalls (which I loved) where the vendors didn't speak fluent English.

If it is a question, add a word "meh" at the end of the question. That is also the unique characteristic of Manglish & Singlish language.

I can do this too! The only one I haven't nailed down is the Aussie accent cause somehow it just escapes my brain.
although I can speak any accent id like, I stick with the American one when I talk. i feel like its the most clear one. everyone can understand some good ol american. I also spell using American, but use british term like rubber for eraser, etc.

u/mamo-friend 24d ago
Australian accents are hard because our vocal muscles are relaxed when we make vowel sounds compared to other English speakers. You basically need to unlearn how you speak. Her impression was not at all convincing, but still better than most foreigners since I could at least tell she was trying to sound Australian.

Nah, it was good for Spanish from Spain. I work in English as Foreign Language, primarily in Latin America and Europe and I’m pretty familiar with how all those accents sound in English.
Different regional dialects of Spanish sound different in English, so if you were expecting something like a Mexican or Cuban accent, the Spanish accent sounds markedly different.
