Members DRW50 Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Vicki Fowler on Eastenders. A British actress trying and not really succeeding at an American accent. After about six months, she suddenly began speaking in the actress' natural accent, with the hilarious explanation that Vicky decided to start talking like everyone else so she could fit in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpO3k40JEOM&feature=plcp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Yikes! I think all attempts I've heard of British actors to do "the American accent" sound similar to that. I don't know anyone who sounds like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 A lot of British actors end up sounding kind of Southern too. Some work better than others. This always cracks me up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj3I2GMPhMQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Yeah Thandie Newton comes off sounding kind of Southern when she puts on her American accent in movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 The worst for me will always be Jonathan Lavery/Jeff Branson's voice on AMC. UGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Almost twenty years later and I still can't believe this [!@#$%^&*] got approved. When Alan Spaulding returned to GL in 1994, someone decided a fantastic return story would be to have him pretending to be a Japanese businessman, with an accent apparently inspired by Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OVPQWBmFjk&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jox_oQeMzpQ&feature=plcp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Titus Andronicus Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Shane, Bo and Hope attempt to be southern. It's supposed to be intentionally bad, but Shane gives it an extra effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Bo's russian accent in this clip. He sounds like a robot from Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Lynn Milgrim's weak sauce attempt at a Maltese accent, which just seems like she recited "the calla lilies are in bloom again" a few times before each taping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN6AqH2gQ_Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 I love her to death, but Vicky Wyndham's English accent as Justine was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Can we just include the whole pseudo-Shakespearean accent she used for AW's last five years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
