Brought to you by Jake Wardle at www.jakewardle.com/. My third big accents video! A follow up of 'The English Language in 24 Accents' that unexpectedly went viral in September 2010 and 'The English Language in 30 Accents (Animated)' from July 2012. I have included all of the accents from my previous videos although I have relabelled some of them based on feedback.
I start with accents from my own country and then move on to other countries around the world and then progress to other random voices which are not all accent specific but refer to different types of people including but not limited to; film and video-game characters and video-game races.
I have also added subtitles this time because it was a heavily requested feature in my previous two videos. The subtitles include a few slang/ dialect translations in brackets.

I picked up most of these accents and voices from TV, Movies, Video-games, internet and real life experiences. I apologise for the all the accents and voices that I didn't include or got wrong but it would be impossible to imitate every accent and voice on the entire planet (let alone do them all perfectly) I am only human after all.

Accents labeled with "unspecified variant" mean that I am unsure of the specific type/region the accent is from and that it does not represent everyone from that country.

I myself am a British, Southern English Londoner and my natural accent (that you hear at the beginning and end of the video) is a mixture of Formal RP and Cockney.

Finally, I would like to say a huge thank you to all my friends, family, viewers, and subscribers around the world who have supported me over the years.

    This man literally brings “select your character” into real life
  • @leonzhang297
    The neighbors must be wondering how many people are living in his house.
  • @spoders92
    I like the vapid American accent. “Dude, I was like wow, man.” Quite accurate.
  • @billyk8397
    As an Australian it borderline felt like there was a perfect change of pitch when you shifted into the Australian accent. Like how did the timbre of your voice perfectly match how everyone sounds here? I’m honestly terrified 😭😭
  • @BlazeYTVX
    This guy alone could be the voice actor for an entire movie.
  • @um9751
    @4:59 I burst into laughter when I heard the Cantonese accent - you sounded exactly like my nephew!!!! 😂😂😂. And I appreciate you stated it clear as Cantones
  • @Vg-nu4fq
    Every comment ever: “His alien accent was really on point.” I’m alien.
  • If this guy were an FBI agent he would fool people instantly...
  • @psykocyan9668
    I speak Cantonese natively, and MY GOD this man does the accent perfectly.
  • I truly don’t know how anyone can nail every single accent like this. What a pro!
  • @2half1whole46
    Imagine if he gets hired as a voice actor and in the end credits he's the only voice actor
  • @Shlumbus69
    Bro how do you nail all these effortlessly. Massive respect.
  • @GRIFFYJAMS
    im in tears. this is the most incredible video. the writing is sooo good. I am inspired, not sure how, but inspiration guides me
  • @royalz3920
    Someone: What's your nationality? Him: Yes
  • @jiriknemeceq
    This guy looks like he's anywhere between the ages of 14 and 50
  • Loved it! HILARIOUS! My Spanish tutor was born and lives in Argentina and the first time I heard him speak English, I was shocked to hear him speak with a British accent. He has never been to an English speaking country.
  • The black accent got an audible laugh from me. Haha. And as a Nigerian, I appreciated your take on that one. Great Job! You're super talented!
