21 Accents By Amy Walker
Following my blog religiously you will probably notice that I am religiously into accents. Accents in the English speaking world are fascinating if it’s up to me. Plus, I absorb pretty much anything that teaches you how to improve your phony Texan or English accent. The video attached to this entry is full of lessons to improve your world accents.
Amy Walker did a pretty good job in covering a variety (21 to be precise) of accents. I love her Sco-ish, German and New Zealand accent. I also recommend the interview the the 21-accent-lady (it’s very captivating to hear her natural accent).

Her German and the first Australian accents could use a bit of work, but it was pretty amazing overall. All the North American ones were close to spot-on. Cool find :-D
I think her German accent was really good, but of course, I can hear she is American. I think that accentless German is pretty hard to gain being an English speaker. You will probably say that about English, but German is so tricky with its CH and CK and stuff like that.
