I can do a pretty good German accent. And speak it...

And also, I'm from Wisconsin. I say world like "whirled".

For me its impossible to say "world" correctly... ·_·

World sounds like rrrrrrld in American accent 

No offence... try say weld, then wold then you got it pretty much 

I did tell you that there is no such thing as an American accent because usually different states and cities have different ways of enunciating things. Not like every American suddenly drops the "wo" sound in world. 

If you really want to pin down an American accent, then do the research on American phonetics first.

I'm not sure what my accent is. I guess it's a lot more English than Scottish though, despite me being Scottish.

Good idea... but kinda hard to say to someone, "I'm going to do a philiadelphian accent" especially in australia where noone knows the states 

Then why not say something like "I'm going to do a Philadelphian American accent?" You might as well teach your fellow Australians about the states instead of continue a generalized assumption that everyone in America speaks the same way. 

What most people think of a generalized American accent is really Midwestern American English that's spoken in something like 3 or 4 states out of 50 - the only reason why it's considered to be general is that this is usually the dialect that is used in accent reduction classes because it's considered to be the most clear with enunciation and supposedly pleasant (on a side note, it's also the dialect that most American newscasters are forced to learn because of it's clarity). So if you're using Midwestern American English as a generalized American accent, it's a lot less unclear than what you assume. Again, research on phonetics first before trying to imitate an accent.

I don't really have an accent, well, I do to others who aren't English. But I'm sure Americans don't have an accent to people with the same accent, but watching the new MLP ep on a livestream made me laugh because of the adverts, I was on Skype watching it with someone else (also English) and we both starting laughing uncontrollably at the "Ah made it mahself" guy on the pizza advert (which was really weird, why were all the peperamis in neat rows?). I was picking up on the country accent (I used to live on the very southern coast), I was getting the London accent, but now I'm getting the scouse one (someone from Liverpool has moved in) which makes me sound like Lister at times and sometimes I will find it hard to actually say anything because of the accent.

i have a friend that can imitate almost any accent i can think up

I speak with a german accent ...^^
In german language I can:
french accent, english accent, italian accent, a bit russian accent
I also mix german with other languages, that's fun

I can't do anything.
Well at least not very well. 

I got a Somerset accent not too strong though... I find it really strange listening to American accents

I have a great fake British accent I use to bug my friends

I can also do french and cockney
