What is your favorite accent to see or hear in a play or musical? Personally, I love an Irish accent!
Right now it is the Irish only for the fact that i am doing it.... but for awhile i loved Russian when i did it.

I was recently in cabaret as Fraulein Schneider and doing a German accent was really fun! But I took a dialect class last semester and I have to say doing Cockney was a lot of fun! Irish is kind of hard for me, dont know why.

i enjoy doing (keep in mind i have a vaguely conneticut snob accent naturally);
southern
british
bad cockney (particularly for fright fest at great adventure)
russian
irish
i also do a french one but it likes to slide into german, as well as alot of more ethnic accents reserved for voiceovers
Ohhhh, Cockney is so much fun to do. So are South African, and Indian.
I adore Cockney, if only for the reason that I have a bit of it in my speaking voice and especially my singing voice (trippy, I know. My diction is AWFUL). Thus, it's fun for me to do.
But I personally love hearing an Irish accent.
I have a crush on southern accents. It's probably my annoying, northern Locust Valley lockjaw; southern accents are so pretty in comparison. And I like Cockney a lot, too, they're just fun.

I looooooooooooove Donna Lynne Champlin's Italian accent
ugh- keaton, when you live in Wyoming and half the people speak with a heavy southern accent, and half have no accent at all, it can totally get on your nerves.

Well, it wasn't in a play, but I was involved with a Kiwi girl for a while (and am still friends with her), and I like that New Zealand accent. Irish is nice too.

I love the British, Scottish, and Austrailian accent!
definitely not russian. I'm learning it now and I feel like it makes me sound like a man. it's so very juvenile of me, but it's depressing that I sing the stuff fine without the accent adn i thin it sounds nice, but with it...well, I sound like a man basically. lol.
I love doing british (standard) accents, and love listening to those and australian.

What is a British accent? As someone from Britain, I'd by very interested what that means...After all, English accents, Welsh accents, Scottish accents and Northern Irish accents would all constitute being a Britsh accent. Or do you really mean RP? Updated On: 3/18/06 at 06:37 AM

Welsh (Shoutout to all my Welsh homeboys!)
