      American accents are actually pretty distinctive and so, just like the British accent, it isn't all that hard to pull off.

      Because all british people fake their accents.
      You're welcome.

      It's because Americans actually pronounce words. The British have gotten lazy with their own language over the decades. That's why we say water and they say wo'err. We say isn't it and they say innit. We say fish AND chips they say fishnchips. So it's easier for Brits to fully pronounce a word properly than it is for Americans to speak like morons.

        When you say British you’re thinking of one specific type of Londoner

            He's right, I don't think Americans even notice. It's like Brits with the glottal stop.

              Half of my family (incuding me) does this and the other half doesn't. We're all from the same place.

            You must be deaf then because the vast majority if not all US accents pronounce a soft D instead of a hard T.

    What I don't understand is Scottish folk doing an English accent that sounds nothing like Scottish

      A rare thing. In fact, struggling to recall any good examples. Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan voice isn’t perfect but it’s fine. He can’t do a rougher London accent well.

      I'm also ESL and can do it perfectly but my British comes off like a parody of Michael Caine.

        A vintage sounding transatlantic accent is harder to pull off than both. It's essentially a symbiosis of both.

    What gets me is there are people who can't do any accent at all or even attempt it. It all sounds perfect to them. Pajeets for instance literally can't tell a difference between an American talking and them talking. Chinese are really bad at this as well. I know it's your first language but you can't hear that you sound nothing like us?
    Maybe it's a development thing idk.

      This makes the most sense to me. You could probably do an American Southern accent as well as most Americans

    American accents generally have a lot of sounds that are easy to replicate. I could probably learn every accent in the US in a few hours but couldn't do a Geordie accent if you put a gun to my head.
