I go to a performing arts school and I think EVERYONE in our theatre department should watch this! I love these videos!

please do how to do a German accent

You're so great! The southern American accent left just a bit to be desired, but that's a tough one. Even for me, and I'm Merican. But good to know in case you get any Tennessee Williams plays. Whatshisname (Andrew?) from Walking Dead has that down pat; for years I didn't even know he was British, really thought he was American. I died when I heard his real speaking voice! Now where's the Scottish accent, now that Trainspotting 2 is coming out?? Lots of "shitey" and "canny" there, yes?

Agreed - my Southern's a little patchy ;) Yeah, he's a beast at accents.
I couldn't believe Idris Elba was British after watching the Wire. Haha
- that's true! Although a Trainspotting musical would be pretty badass
:)

Yeah, and that one actor from 12 years a Slave! Chiwetel somebody... A British actor not only doing an outstanding American accent, but also a PERIOD American accent and capturing not only a southern black accent, but southern black slave accent, no less!

what about the Transatlantic accent?
