Not really making or creating... just learning
I know the german accent and american as well as a bit of cockney...
EDIT: I can also do french
So much fun
I'm trying to learn Irish as well as Scottish and South African...
I find that these Videojug vids are fun and helpful

Anyone else good with accents?

Aside from some not half-bad (fake) British accents I've heard, yes.

Scottish accents are fun.
British accents are plain, although that could be because the local accent (Australian) where I live is so similar to it.
British accents could be very interesting to people in the US

you should post a recording of your "american accent" so i can make fun of it/be offended by it :))

I basically lengthen and exaggerate all my vowels and then give the Rs a real fat sound and make all the As and Os sound like the a in bath.
Oh, and I say aluminum instead of aluminium.
Why are the old blocks still there

That's choking.
Sounds good to me...
Could be because accents are often generalised.
For example his Aussie accent is very hard to here in Australia outside of movies
Still good though if you're trying to impress people

Whenever I think Australian, I thing "[removed] royt mate" and stuff like that.
To an Australian, what do American accents sound like.

Actually, different states (and even different cities) usually have different way of enunciating things. The turning of T sound into D sounds is pretty prevalent in New York City, not so much outside of New York City, for example.

yeah it's a bit silly saying there's one 'american' accent, especially because the country is so large and diverse
i sound very different from someone from like florida for example

Really? I didn't know that, see how uninformed and generalising I am?
A general image of how foreigners see americans though... sadly
