You can do it easily, Clod. It's more about intonation than pronunciation. Brits have so many different accents that if you get the vowels un-americanized, speak at a reasonable pace, and stress the right syllables, it'll be fine.

One thing I have noticed about impersonating accents is that they often drift through regional dialects. Someone doing a "British" accent might start Queen's English, slide into Educated London, drift into Cockney, and meander through Yorkshire to Scottish, aye?
It might help to have a specific person whose accent you are mimicking in mind - maybe even a picture of them in front of you - to keep you on track.

Oh, stuff it, just drop a lot of "I say" and "Don't you know" and "old chap" into the text. ;)

hehe. just go for educational american, but faster and stress the other syllable.

:lol:

I just realized that my little Portia [ who died recently] was featured on the cover of 2010 BT mini calendar this year and I did not even know! She was 3 months old here

She is also in another 2010 calendar I cannot seem to find, I saw on my friend's wall, she and her litter sister are on the month of May.

Thats great! How wonderful. Happy for you.

There really IS no sense crying over spilled milk. Who'd've thunk?

Not really, but I'd like you to cry for me. kthxbai

Back in University I once asked classmate, who played on the University team, what the differenece between League and Union was, he replied "one is a game for thugs played by gentleman, the other a game for thugs played by thugs", I forget which he said was which.

My first thought is why, Brits are plenty used to hearing american accent, I would have thought a well enunciated regionaly neutral american accent would work just fine for most applications.

Uh, you mean dolphin sleeping bag?

I've always wanted one of these, but I would not prop myself up against a tree in one, that'd be asking to be shot!

We've always wanted to see you in your bare costume.
