Oh the Places You'll Go. In 68 different accents. Not necessarily accurate, but different. SLYT

She's completely in love with the British Isles, but all of her Northeastern USA accents, from the Jersey Shore to Newfoundland, are straight outta Jaaawnstin, Row Dye Lun, and her southern accents are weird and not accurate to my ear, and I lived in Florida and Nawlins.

That said, if I hadda guess, she's from my neck of the woods. She's overemphasizing vocal frizzle to make it seem she's from the west coast, but doesn't actually respect Northeastern accents to differentiate sufficiently.

I can never watch these fake accent videos; the only place I go is straight to plaatsvervangende schaamte.

Aw that's harsh. She's not flawless but she's got great brio. I love the expressions.

Sounded pretty good, except for the accents I'm actually familiar with. Those were absolutely terrible.

I love these accents videos; super fascinating to watch. I especially liked the last minute, where she goes into her own identity expression, fully animated and playful and all that. Unabashedly with an agenda, too. I've got a lecture/workshop coming up about identities online and this is just perfect to share, thanks for posting it here!

She's charming, but that's one of the worst Boston accents I've heard.

That was cheeky and delightful, and I learned that Sean Connery is Egyptian!

Entertaining if not completely accurate. Wish she hadn't rambled on at the end, it made her sound like a dingbat!
