    Why yes I can! And I can also fake certain regional dialects of England.

    Yes, I can. In fact, that was part of the ploy I used to buy liquor when I was underage.

    If I ever thought so, I was wrong. Now, I'm in a house with guy from Leicester, England, a son of a Scottish-born Irishman. We spend a lot of time talking, discussing politics, construction, theater, history, etc., and I'm sure that his worst fears include that my accent might rub off on him and he might start sounding like a Brit redneck or something else too bizarre for his family to recognize.
    The last time I tried to fake an accent and really hoped it would work, was one night in a bar in NYC after a rehearsal session with an Irish theater and I was hoping to get a part in a subsequent production. I faked an accent and the person to whom I spoke, a stranger to me, let me know in no uncertain terms that I was full of it. That was the last time. Never again.

    Pretty well... but I find when you ask a British person to do an "American" accent they always choose the southern ones or New York.

    As a matter of fact, I can do a lovely British accent, a decent Irish accent and a spot-on Scottish accent. Now it's time for my tea...I must be off. :-D

    Yes, and just as good as Anthony Hopkins did an American accent when he played Richard Nixon ~ NOT!

    Maybe... but you'll never know if I'm telling the truth now will you? I can fake a Northern accent quite well and that's about it. It's the posh accent I can't keep for long - it begins to evolve into Cockney somewhat, and thats a bit of an oxymoron.

    No - Do Brits do american accents and then laugh at us and the way we talk and act? What do you think of the way we talk - honestly
