Queen of Thorns you're fucking everywhere! How are you commenting in such a variety of videos? unless there are tons of people with the same account name and pic as you then tell me your secret and how I find you everywhere!
My English teacher was obsessed with Scotland and even though he had to teach us proper British English, he'd sometimes switch to Scottish when were correcting an assignment or something. Everyone loved him xD
It's pretty creepy because she's so intense and so skilled and we don't know what she really sounds like. Its like shes a robot from the 20s. Shes dope tho
Yes it does happen, to me at least. I wouldn't know anything about her experiences. Sometimes it'll just happen at random. I'm an american, but I can do This british accent 0:00 this one 0:07 French(kinda) 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. Believe or not I woke up one morning about a month or so back stuck with my irish accent for about half a day.
Heh, I know I've gotten stuck doing alternate accents before. i generally have a neutral American one, but I've been stuck in British, Scottish, and Russian before. And it was hilariously hard to get back to normal. ^^
Yes. I'm not strictly bilingual, but know enough conversational/occupational Spanish to pass as a 5 year old ;) Even after taking Japanese classes, going to Japan, I kept having to pump the brakes HARD to not reply in Spanish. RESPECT to all those who are truly bilingual and speak 2 + languages even half fluently.
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.
that wide smile is a breathing technique to suck in more air through the sides of the mouth to hold notes for longer, Sinatra is a great example but also see James Taylor
Same with Texas. That’s not her fault though. It seems like people in big cities these days just don’t have very strong regional accents. They tend to sound more like “standard American.”
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.
She's not just doing accents, she' DOING accents. I love Amy so much I'm now best friends with the person who introduced me to her channel and her existence. X
+abbyooooo haha true! as a Canadian I don't know any other Canadian who actually speaks like that. But, she still got mad skills for being able to switch it up so easily.
I’m from Seattle and this only confirms that we have the most flat accent of all time 😅 That or I’m brainwashed to my region’s own voice??? I feel inception’d
lol it is only 1 accent from that huge country. I feel like now Canada has so much more exposure to the world and people know how diverse the accents are. this is a pretty old video. It would be dope if someone could do this but include more "urban" accents from these areas. I would love to see more in-depth canadian accents too. Hopefully we'll find one!
That sounds absolutely nothing like the Newfoundland accent (being from there myself, and living in Toronto). The Toronto accent she did is more like Minnesota/Saskatchewan. Particularly Native.
COMPLETELYAWES0ME I'm from NB and the accent she used reminded me a little of the CBC Radio guys from around there, I'd say it's a somewhat exaggerated Maritime Accent.
People in Saskatchewan talk more like the Seattle accent. There is no ooot and aboot in Saskatchewan. Torontonians have a slightly more Oot sound than people in Saskatchewan do, but not as much as Newfoundland. No one in Canada says "OOOh Halloo thar!"
agreed.. now, i wouldn't exactly call myself a master of imitating accents, but I do struggle to switch from one to another at the drop of a hat like she seems to do. I usually struggle to work out what to say in that particular voice with out stereotyping... trying to do Australian without the opening line being "g'day mate"
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.
I live an hour from Toronto and that Toronto "Canadian" accent was laughable. None of us who were born here actually speak like that. It's just a silly stereotype. Most of us here in southern Ontario sound just like any regular CNN or Hollywood English-speaker.
We don't say aboot (that is such a load of crap) but yes, we frequently throw "eh" into a conversation, as in, "man it's cold out, eh?" Or, "what a jerk, eh?" This chick's so-called "Canaadian accent" was way off.
It's funny how 'non-accented' the Seattle accent sounds to me, being from the Pacific Northwest. To think that in theory, anyone who speaks in one of these ways will hear one neutral-sounding bit of this video.
Seriously impressive! I love hearing people's interpretation of other accents. Amy probably does the best I've heard. Being Australian, her Aussie accent is the best I've heard, more authentic than Meryl Streep in Evil Angels. Got the kiwi accent down as well. Would love to hear someone do different variations of the Aussie accent - upper class, bogan, outback, hipster, country; also Lebanese Australian, Greek Australian, Indian Australian etc. Good work Amy 👍
HOW AM I 8 YEARS LATE TO THIS PARTY?! That's confounding and amazing! Also sounds like a comic book. "The council of Amy Walkers will now come to order..."
Pretty impressive, but the Toronto accent was like a caricature of a Canadian accent that you'd hear on South Park or Family Guy. Nobody in Canada sounds like that.
Everyone DOES sound like that n the metro Toronto outskirts now !! bare n mind the downtown is now 30% asian swango, 3 words to make u Canadian , house = hose, sorry = sore-dd , and about = a boot
I'm Czech, I live in Brno (2nd biggest town in the Czech Republic) and czech accent is little bit rougher. We have sharp "R" as in Hungary, Poland or Russia. But I'm very suprised and happy that someone have idea to make czech accent ! Pozdrav z České Republiky :-)
0:26 Gosh, she sounds like Saoirse Ronan. Even has a similar voice. As a German, I thought, her accent is pretty spot on. Just the "Guten Tag" didn't sound perfect, but close enough.
Here is a woman who is incredibly talented, become renowned for her ability to emulate a wide rang of accents often only differing with very small nuances and emphasis and yet people feel the need to pick up on her flaws. How many accents can you people do that say "Her Italian is off" or "Her Chec is off" You know whats really off?? You judgmental fools that can't appreciate a talent when they see it. Most people can't even hear the difference between different Aussie accents (for example) let alone mimic them. People these days just have to tear down instead of giving credit when it is due. Sad
+Ben Harris Eeeasy, Benny Boy. It's called the In-ter-net. Nobody is saying she sucks, but if there is a particular accent they think she's off on, they are free to point it out. 75K likes/4K dislikes. Those numbers don't lie.
+Ben Harris I know for a fact that I'm listening to pure talent, and I can't help but feel impressed and slightly angry about it. Impressed, of course, because of her skill of mimicking these multiple accents, yet angry because I have been studying this sort of thing for years and so far I'm only able to do the stereotypical radio announcer, and not even a good one. 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. I give props to her and hope she has huge success, though that doesn't make me envy her abilities any less.
+Ben Harris You are right. And not only that, is that in the same city people can have different accents depending on education, socioeconomic status, etc. This is even more true with foreign accents, some foreigners can pick accents better than others so saying that she does not sound like a russian speaking English is absurd as some russians will have more or less accents than others. She is very good!
Sitting over here trying to figure what sort of accent to give a character, and I'm still at the first square. For some reason, the Texas accent reminded me of Clarice from Silence of the Lambs XDD
+Otaku Is my nickname what part of the Chicago accent is Southern? I know the Chicago Black accent has Southern qualities, but I'm White. the Chicago accent is in the Northern family of US accent along with New York and Boston, minus the British influence. 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.
+Otaku Is my nickname I also forgot to add that if you go outside the Chicagoland metro area, the accents become more "Midwestern" and neutral / Standard American. Neither North nor South. But Chicago's accent in Whites is strictly Northern since we don't have many Southern roots here.
@@blackforest825 Nahh it's not quite spot on -- something wrong in the words "five" and "born," like it went a little midwest. The vocal fry and cadence for "California, LA" were unmistakably us though :D
It sounds passable but it would be picked up as put on or maybe transplant if you had a full conversation with her if you were listening for it. Even my father (new england) who has been living here for longer than i've been alive doesn't quite sound like me (native).
I'm Argentine, after watching a lot of series and movies (now i see em without subs) i was able to note the diference in the accents. I must say i prefer a lot the US ones, especially the mid west and California, they sound very clean and clear, many of the others just confuses me in some words. Funny this thing of accents, i live in the Rosario area in Argentina, and when i was in Buenos Aires people there inmediatelly noted where i was from, and we both speak rioplatense spanish (very imperative, with voseo, seseo, yeismo) and separated by only 300 km, still there was a diference and i note even a diference between the way of speaking in my town and the Rosario city 50 km away.
***** Lol wut?... 76 % of population is white... Italians>Spaniards>German-swiss>Syrian-Libanese>French>Polish>Russian>Welsh-Irish-English. 3% of population is aboriginals and 1% african inmigrants as refugees.
I watch Doctor Who, and there is a lot of british actors in many movies and series. I dont like, the only british accent i like is Matt Smith accent, and maybe Sean Connery.
I am a long time fan of Amy Walker. I have been watching this video since I was 12. I am now 25, just as she is in this video, and I can't believe this is the first time I have noticed she barely blinks. Very impressive work Amy! Love the aussie accents. Keep it up - Manet from the Aus .
Brooklyn accent sounds more like Boston but still impressed with the variety of voices, if this vid didn't have almost 10 million views you'd be recruited as a spy by now.
Still amazing!! Happy upcoming birthday September 1st, Ms. Walker! Your age remains a secret because you are indeed timeless and forever preserved! Thank you for the many adventures you have taken your devoten fans on and the many exotic places we have been, just by your beautiful voice!
What makes Amy Walker so captivating? She starts with intelligence, integrity, and purpose; then adds a healthy dose of personal development, training, yoga, and stage presence. The graceful smile & natural good looks are just frosting on the cake.
Wow. I'm American, and watching this made me realize how, well...BORING generic American sounds. Guh. I wish to God I had a Brit or Scottish accent. And excellent work on the voices, Miss Walker.
It only seems that way because of Hollywood. If you went to any other country, people would be drawn to you. I'm a Filipino Canadian, and when I go to Phillipines, they are amazed that I can speak english so well.
Sameeee it's very valley talk or ghetto well, varies. Also I noticed that too her 25 was more like another accent tried slipping through so totally agree with you on that. Not very California.
I can only comment on her Brooklyn, but the way she said five like "foiv" made her sound more Australian. That feature isn't exagerrated to such a degree in Brooklyn. If I had to place the way she said "five" like "foiv", it would be more Philly and even more exagerrated than Sean Monahan's Philly for that matter (which he admits is comically exagerrated).
+Edouard Garça I panned down just for this. As far as I could tell, she nailed every accent....with the exception of Brooklyn. It just wasn't on the money at all. However, I am certain with another take she would be very convincing. Just not that take.
Okay- I'm from New Zealand, and we sound nowhere near like the English or Australians- English tend to bland out their words, whereas Australians sharpen their's example: Australia change their "i" into an "e" in England they practically pronounce every letter in their words. In New Zealand- we have a much more bland way of pronouncing our words- for example: we sometimes silent out the "i" and we also have a deeper way of pronouncing things. Hope this helps. :)
Jessica N hahah this type of brainless comment appears in EVERY single video, no matter what it's about. Take your time and read what you said, for one it's not a very original statement, people just repeat it without thinking. There's no logic to it. It's like me telling you "Oh, you don't like this movie? Well then go and make a better one. That's right, shut up" Where's the logic there? You can't criticize just cuz you're not in the same league as the director who made the movie? You're not 11 years old, I can tell from your photo, so don't talk like one. It's an age old nonsensical immature thing to say, grow up.
Logan Johnson Because of the level of stupidity, lots can be said about it. It's a phrase many people say without thinking or fully knowing what it actually means and its massive nonsensical content. Btw my comment about her stupid statement didn't get 2 thumbs up for nothing. Not to mention, I wasn't arguing, I was pointing out her fallacies and stupidities. But you're obviously a simpleton with a simple mind who can't tell the difference. And by the way, that comment is almost 2 months old. You just fell flat on your face now, didn't ya? Dumb PRICK ;). Who is arguing here but he who comes to reply on a comment that was made 2 months ago? Rethink your life.
I was reminded of this video by someone on the Vanity Fair video - I remember that I saw this when you first uploaded it. So good! I'd love to see more reviews of movie accents where you do the accents as you're talking about them ❤
Wow! It's finally happened! I've finally seen somebody who can do more accents than I can! You sure SO CRAZY GOOD! I've always had a tough time trying to talk with an accent from around Fargo N.Dakota. there is something so fun about the way they talk there. You know, the "Ok sure. You betchya". The way the actors talk in movie DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, is so funny. I can do a few words but that's all. You are VERY good my dear. I liked your UK accents the best!
I think her name is Amy Walker...
Yes, but how old is she?

I love how she's introducing herself in all the other accents, but in Scottish she's just saying stuff
because the different sounds are awesome to hear haha
jumping from accent to accent is so much harder than people are giving her credit for.
Agreed.

I heard Reba mcintire

Literally the same thing I though aha
It's not just changing accent, there is a mental switch that takes on the identity of the accent. That's purely fascinating.
I noticed her mouth changes position, too, with different accents.
True
I remember watching this a teenager and being fasinated by this, now I'm the same age as you! WOW!
waw rly
@BaNiQueen mind = blown 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Three years ago, I was also the same age as her. I too returned to this video after seeing it first in 2008.
Any criticism of this woman’s talents is ridiculous. I can do a few accents. But she jumps from one to the next in an instant. Incredible.
Wow you are really good at accents but I am so suspicious to know what your real voice is!
Its like the accent for Seattle, Washington!
Probably british
@CobRob No. She’s from Seattle, Washington.
i wonder if people who can do this kind of thing ever accidentally start talking in a different accent without realizing it
Yes it does happen, to me at least. I wouldn't know anything about her experiences.
Sometimes it'll just happen at random.
I'm an american, but I can do
This british accent 0:00
this one 0:07
French(kinda)
German(mainly the stereotypical nazi accent)
Spanish(spain version)
this irish accent 0:21

THAT WAS SCARY !! How dead on your New Zealand and first aussie accent was jesus christ . Great Video.
I looked her up and apparently she lived in Australia for a little while as an exchange student :)
+Jackson “Zer0Zer0” Rosenquist It is jaw dropping, no one ever gets it right but she nails it.
The "Seattle" accent is how like 75% of Americans speak.
Yeah...NOW! lol
it's because in Seattle, we have the "General American accent"
TB-Ryne I thought general amercan was mostly concentrated in the midwest. According to the studies referenced in wikipedia.
TB-Ryne actually ohioans do lol
Snowflake As a fellow northern Ohioan, I approve this message!
Her accents are amazing. However, the Toronto accent is much too rural.
Like it's from Keswick or something, right? The Seattle accent she does is much closer.
Brenhan Mc Kibben
She was born in Seattle! (According to Wikipedia.)
Same with Texas. That’s not her fault though. It seems like people in big cities these days just don’t have very strong regional accents. They tend to sound more like “standard American.”
Bingo. Also had a little bit of irish in the "hello". I've never heard a Canadian say hello like that.
Yes I enjoyed all the accents but as I am Canadian, the Toronto one sounded off to me.
I wonder what her actual voice sounds like
I do, too. 😃
Its the Seattle WA voice she did.
why don't you watch her other videos...
Like this
Her actual voice is lost lol. Never to be heard again.
Anyone else get a little creeped out watching this? lol.
the video is a little bit depressing
+Yimin Fan She looks sad.
how? she's so talented.

You must have hated the Scottish one then.
Since when was Toronto a city of 100 people in Northern Ontario, where everybody wears Kenora dinner jackets.
lol it is only 1 accent from that huge country. I feel like now Canada has so much more exposure to the world and people know how diverse the accents are. this is a pretty old video. It would be dope if someone could do this but include more "urban" accents from these areas. I would love to see more in-depth canadian accents too. Hopefully we'll find one!
Haha well hey at least us Vancouverites can kind of feel represented.. By the Seattle accent that is
Am I the only one who was shocked when she said "WHAT?! BECAUSE I"M DOING THE THING" ?
Gotta get that new york italian vibe in somehow:))she's amazing tho
That's the only one that had me shaking my head. But being from New Jersey, I guess I'm more sensitive to the local NY/NJ accents.

The Canadian accent😂. I'm Canadian and honestly we all sound like the Seattle accent but a bit rougher
Lol yeah
Any one of us from NY/NJ have to love how she starts the Brooklyn accent by screaming at someone, that was PERFECT and TRUE!
Not bad for having to switch gears so many times.
agreed.. now, i wouldn't exactly call myself a master of imitating accents, but I do struggle to switch from one to another at the drop of a hat like she seems to do. I usually struggle to work out what to say in that particular voice with out stereotyping... trying to do Australian without the opening line being "g'day mate"
Yes... She has some talent most definitely... Very well done!
Very good Aussie and NZ accent.
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.
In Christchurch, New Zealand it's possible to pick up on various accents within the city. Population? 350,000

It's funny how 'non-accented' the Seattle accent sounds to me, being from the Pacific Northwest. To think that in theory, anyone who speaks in one of these ways will hear one neutral-sounding bit of this video.

I had to rewind a couple times and listen for anything out of the ordinary
saame
I'm Californian and I never realized how our accent sounds! It's so noticeable when it's being compared.
It's definitely distinct. I just associate it with how the Berkeley/Gilman rock community talks so sometimes I can recognise it over other US accents.

Seriously impressive! I love hearing people's interpretation of other accents. Amy probably does the best I've heard. Being Australian, her Aussie accent is the best I've heard, more authentic than Meryl Streep in Evil Angels. Got the kiwi accent down as well. Would love to hear someone do different variations of the Aussie accent - upper class, bogan, outback, hipster, country; also Lebanese Australian, Greek Australian, Indian Australian etc. Good work Amy 👍
HOW AM I 8 YEARS LATE TO THIS PARTY?! That's confounding and amazing! Also sounds like a comic book. "The council of Amy Walkers will now come to order..."
If I waited for about a month, I would be 11 years late to this party.
12 years LOL
12...
@@papapalpatine1563 I just got here. Am I the only one commenting here post-lockdown?
@@Vidaow no - i just arrived too! Lol
Insane still 16 years later. I watch this video once every few years. I hope you made it big, Amy Walker!
Pretty impressive, but the Toronto accent was like a caricature of a Canadian accent that you'd hear on South Park or Family Guy. Nobody in Canada sounds like that.
Yeah it’s more northern American
Everyone DOES sound like that n the metro Toronto outskirts now !! bare n mind the downtown is now 30% asian swango, 3 words to make u Canadian , house = hose, sorry = sore-dd , and about = a boot
1:55 rage
lol i'm doing the thing

The subtle difference between your California and Washington was fantastic. You nailed this video.
I love the Aussie accent “True blue Aussie mate” :):)
Who is Amy Waller?
dieselworld walker
She literally said her name like 474765376 times n u still couldn't get it straight SMH
Who od John galt?
I'm Czech, I live in Brno (2nd biggest town in the Czech Republic) and czech accent is little bit rougher. We have sharp "R" as in Hungary, Poland or Russia. But I'm very suprised and happy that someone have idea to make czech accent ! Pozdrav z České Republiky :-)
Yes in Hungary has the hard R
Nazdar, vole!
Amy, you're video has helped me with my Sci-Fi novel.
Garret1912 I don't like being that guy but... *your
Well if you're going to write a novel, you should know the difference between "your" and "you're".
fakecubed lol
How has she helped you out mate?
0:26 Gosh, she sounds like Saoirse Ronan. Even has a similar voice. As a German, I thought, her accent is pretty spot on. Just the "Guten Tag" didn't sound perfect, but close enough.
Yeah she should definitely be filming movies or something
@@freeshlavacadoo Americans can't usually tell the difference between accents.
@@freeshlavacadoo I said Americans think all Irish accents are the same.
@@starkiller007 A lot of Americans don't think there's a difference between a Scottish and Irish accent.
That New Zealand accent was perfect Amy! Not many people can get our accent right
Are you from there? : D
Hasufel y Arod Yup! Born and raised there my friend :)
Pleased and honoured to meet you, pal.
I assumed New Zealand's accent was pretty similar to Australian.
Please tell me of your country.
Hahaha no, must not confuse the kiwis with kangaroos :P
Excellent. I checked some info about New Zealand. It was very enlightening. I'd love to listen New Zealand slang and accent.
amazing!! She's like one of the only people I have ever seen actually get the New Zealand accent right! She's really good at accents!!!!
Here is a woman who is incredibly talented, become renowned for her ability to emulate a wide rang of accents often only differing with very small nuances and emphasis and yet people feel the need to pick up on her flaws.
How many accents can you people do that say "Her Italian is off" or "Her Chec is off"
You know whats really off?? You judgmental fools that can't appreciate a talent when they see it. Most people can't even hear the difference between different Aussie accents (for example) let alone mimic them.
People these days just have to tear down instead of giving credit when it is due.
Sad
+Ben Harris Eeeasy, Benny Boy. It's called the In-ter-net. Nobody is saying she sucks, but if there is a particular accent they think she's off on, they are free to point it out. 75K likes/4K dislikes. Those numbers don't lie.
+Ben Harris I know for a fact that I'm listening to pure talent, and I can't help but feel impressed and slightly angry about it. Impressed, of course, because of her skill of mimicking these multiple accents, yet angry because I have been studying this sort of thing for years and so far I'm only able to do the stereotypical radio announcer, and not even a good one.
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. I give props to her and hope she has huge success, though that doesn't make me envy her abilities any less.
+Ben Harris You are right. And not only that, is that in the same city people can have different accents depending on education, socioeconomic status, etc. This is even more true with foreign accents, some foreigners can pick accents better than others so saying that she does not sound like a russian speaking English is absurd as some russians will have more or less accents than others. She is very good!
I could listen to her talk all day.
I never get tired of watching this, Amy! you are so very talented. Your transatlantic accent is just my favorite thing.
The transatlantic accent is the best.
Yeah, it's the classic American accent of the educated and upper class. Or at least it was. Such a rarity to find people can use it well these days.
It's so pretty to me
Right? I wish she would do a tutorial solely on the transatlantic accent.
***** You've actually found someone who speaks in that imaginary accent?
She can actually do an NZ accent 😍 subscribe
Its now 12 years old, and the worst part is I still remember seeing it like 10y's ago.
Sitting over here trying to figure what sort of accent to give a character, and I'm still at the first square.
For some reason, the Texas accent reminded me of Clarice from Silence of the Lambs XDD
***** I noticed it, too. She definitely had that Jodie Foster thing going on.
***** WHAT? I THOUGHT THE SAME THING! I just watched that movie recently, though.
Me too with a slight Reba
Hello Clarice :3
IsabelleSandbank Hello Dr. Lecter
You left out the gem and standard of American English: Midwestern Accent.
The Midwest accent isn't always the standard, especially if from up North like Chicago or Minneapolis
+U238 I feel like if anyone non-American tries to do an American accent it's usually a southern or Cali valley accent...
+Edouard Garça Nah, I live a town over from Chicago, we have a mix of a southern and mid-west without the annoying-ness of the minneapolis.
+Otaku Is my nickname what part of the Chicago accent is Southern? I know the Chicago Black accent has Southern qualities, but I'm White. the Chicago accent is in the Northern family of US accent along with New York and Boston, minus the British influence. 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.
+Otaku Is my nickname I also forgot to add that if you go outside the Chicagoland metro area, the accents become more "Midwestern" and neutral / Standard American. Neither North nor South. But Chicago's accent in Whites is strictly Northern since we don't have many Southern roots here.
I HATE HER FOR THIS! THE THINGS I WOULD BE DOING IF I COULD DO ALL THOSE ACCENTS
She got paid for this
It has 10m views
Like...what?
Bro when she hit that California one 💀
The best one
@@blackforest825 Nahh it's not quite spot on -- something wrong in the words "five" and "born," like it went a little midwest. The vocal fry and cadence for "California, LA" were unmistakably us though :D
@@annafantasia WOAH you seem knowledgable "the cadence blah blah vocal fry" woahhhh🧐🧐
It sounds passable but it would be picked up as put on or maybe transplant if you had a full conversation with her if you were listening for it. Even my father (new england) who has been living here for longer than i've been alive doesn't quite sound like me (native).
I only really know the New Zealand Accent, and she did it perfectly
I'm Argentine, after watching a lot of series and movies (now i see em without subs) i was able to note the diference in the accents. I must say i prefer a lot the US ones, especially the mid west and California, they sound very clean and clear, many of the others just confuses me in some words.
Funny this thing of accents, i live in the Rosario area in Argentina, and when i was in Buenos Aires people there inmediatelly noted where i was from, and we both speak rioplatense spanish (very imperative, with voseo, seseo, yeismo) and separated by only 300 km, still there was a diference and i note even a diference between the way of speaking in my town and the Rosario city 50 km away.
***** Lol wut?... 76 % of population is white... Italians>Spaniards>German-swiss>Syrian-Libanese>French>Polish>Russian>Welsh-Irish-English. 3% of population is aboriginals and 1% african inmigrants as refugees.
***** Nope... is not... 50% of Brazil inhabitants are from european origin, the other half are blacks, aboriginals and mixed races.
Argentvs Capo, you havent seen enough james bond movies to prefer American over English (much classier)

I watch Doctor Who, and there is a lot of british actors in many movies and series. I dont like, the only british accent i like is Matt Smith accent, and maybe Sean Connery.
I am a long time fan of Amy Walker. I have been watching this video since I was 12. I am now 25, just as she is in this video, and I can't believe this is the first time I have noticed she barely blinks. Very impressive work Amy! Love the aussie accents. Keep it up - Manet from the Aus .
I want to learn how to do a 1940's Transatlantic accent.
nailed new zealand
she did not blink once
Brooklyn accent sounds more like Boston but still impressed with the variety of voices, if this vid didn't have almost 10 million views you'd be recruited as a spy by now.
Boston???? No sir....Not even close. :-(
She is so talented her skill is incredible!
Damn shes good, couldnt tell which accents was hers lol
***** I couldnt
***** Not even close. Here Cali accent was off when she said her age and when she said California
***** She was born in Seattle, Washington. So she was probably raised there and lives in California now.
I love this intelligent girl,she shoud be an actress
She is.
Still amazing!! Happy upcoming birthday September 1st, Ms. Walker! Your age remains a secret because you are indeed timeless and forever preserved! Thank you for the many adventures you have taken your devoten fans on and the many exotic places we have been, just by your beautiful voice!
What makes Amy Walker so captivating? She starts with intelligence, integrity, and purpose; then adds a healthy dose of personal development, training, yoga, and stage presence. The graceful smile & natural good looks are just frosting on the cake.
the trans Atlantic accent is fantastic
timeless - 16 years on YT and still amazing people
Awwww haha thanks so much! 🥹🥰 We’re doing a lot on the @21accents channel these days, if you’re down to nerd out with me and our awesome coaches 🤓😉
Wow. I'm American, and watching this made me realize how, well...BORING generic American sounds. Guh. I wish to God I had a Brit or Scottish accent. And excellent work on the voices, Miss Walker.
-_- SCOTLAND IS IN BRITAIN
Callum Micallef It is? *checks atlas* Oh, whoops. Well, I meant more either a classic English accent, or a Scottish one. Sorry for confusion.
Jones6192 Your America it happens I am about to blow your mind >>>> they are 4 countries in Britain , England ,Wales ,Scotland, North Ireland
It only seems that way because of Hollywood. If you went to any other country, people would be drawn to you. I'm a Filipino Canadian, and when I go to Phillipines, they are amazed that I can speak english so well.
lonewolf604 are you agreeing with me ?
Wonderful! What a delight to revisit again and again over the years! Splendid!
that Texas one was Reba.
who is ironically from Oklahoma, they are neighbors though so close enough
i remember watching this vid a decade ago, so nice to go through best vids i've watched throughout the years again
SHE NAILED THAT BROOKLYN ACCENT. My 4th grade teacher sounded just like that!
I've lived in LA my whole life, and her Californian accent is pretty ok, but when she says 25, you can tell she isn't from here. Lol
Sameeee it's very valley talk or ghetto well, varies. Also I noticed that too her 25 was more like another accent tried slipping through so totally agree with you on that. Not very California.
I can only comment on her Brooklyn, but the way she said five like "foiv" made her sound more Australian. That feature isn't exagerrated to such a degree in Brooklyn. If I had to place the way she said "five" like "foiv", it would be more Philly and even more exagerrated than Sean Monahan's Philly for that matter (which he admits is comically exagerrated).
+Edouard Garça I panned down just for this. As far as I could tell, she nailed every accent....with the exception of Brooklyn. It just wasn't on the money at all. However, I am certain with another take she would be very convincing. Just not that take.
someone here can help me to improve my English. my skype. hicham. tobi1
I'm Canadian from Toronto and I don't understand how that's a Toronto accent at all
Wow, that was an impressive collection of accents! Thank you Amy :)
As a Canadian I don't know what she was talking aboot when she was doing the accent of my country, eh!
I can never tell the difference between England, Australian and New Zealand accents
***** Sometimes its the same for me, I'm american and I would have no clue if someone was Canadian or not
Okay- I'm from New Zealand, and we sound nowhere near like the English or Australians- English tend to bland out their words, whereas Australians sharpen their's example: Australia change their "i" into an "e" in England they practically pronounce every letter in their words. In New Zealand- we have a much more bland way of pronouncing our words- for example: we sometimes silent out the "i" and we also have a deeper way of pronouncing things. Hope this helps. :)
I have never heard a person from Toronto speak like that ever... That's more east coast accent like a Newfie accent
That's the first video about English accents from those I've ever watched and it's still the best. Thanks, Amy.
more like 21 stereotypes...
***** she lived in australia for quite some time though, so that explains it, thus not being much of an argument there.
Let's see a video of you attempting this.
Jessica N
hahah this type of brainless comment appears in EVERY single video, no matter what it's about. Take your time and read what you said, for one it's not a very original statement, people just repeat it without thinking.
There's no logic to it. It's like me telling you "Oh, you don't like this movie? Well then go and make a better one. That's right, shut up" Where's the logic there? You can't criticize just cuz you're not in the same league as the director who made the movie? You're not 11 years old, I can tell from your photo, so don't talk like one. It's an age old nonsensical immature thing to say, grow up.
Logan Johnson
Because of the level of stupidity, lots can be said about it. It's a phrase many people say without thinking or fully knowing what it actually means and its massive nonsensical content. Btw my comment about her stupid statement didn't get 2 thumbs up for nothing.
Not to mention, I wasn't arguing, I was pointing out her fallacies and stupidities. But you're obviously a simpleton with a simple mind who can't tell the difference.
And by the way, that comment is almost 2 months old. You just fell flat on your face now, didn't ya? Dumb PRICK ;). Who is arguing here but he who comes to reply on a comment that was made 2 months ago? Rethink your life.
Shonaripa
I'm sorry your self-esteem is derived on whether you can win an argument on a UA-cam video. Fucking loser.
Damn...I remember watching this when she first posted it. ahh...I'm getting old haha.
I was reminded of this video by someone on the Vanity Fair video - I remember that I saw this when you first uploaded it. So good! I'd love to see more reviews of movie accents where you do the accents as you're talking about them ❤
I keep coming back to this video, too.. I remember sharing this with my friends like, 6+ years ago, and now UA-cam has reminded me it exists lmao
Wow! It's finally happened! I've finally seen somebody who can do more accents than I can! You sure SO CRAZY GOOD! I've always had a tough time trying to talk with an accent from around Fargo N.Dakota. there is something so fun about the way they talk there. You know, the "Ok sure. You betchya". The way the actors talk in movie DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, is so funny. I can do a few words but that's all. You are VERY good my dear. I liked your UK accents the best!
Aww thanks kindred! Vibes to the joy of kaleidoscopic expression! ✨💎✨
I can't be the only one who thinks she's absolutely gorgeous.
