What is your favorite accent to see or hear in a play or musical? Personally, I love an Irish accent! Favorite Accent

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.

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.

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.

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?

Irish
Welsh (Shoutout to all my Welsh homeboys!)
Russian
