Are you good at making accents , vocies, copying people

I fidn I am almost as good as impersonatign as the dudes that are on tv doing it.

I wodner if this is due to aspergers. I feel as akid I alwas had no vocie, I used to copy the sayings and vocie of the coolest kid and my best freind in school. This worked well for me.

I also find I can copy any celberity or nationality and make their voice identical without even much effort. Eg. I was in Thiland and I learn some Thai words by copying them and the Thai people say I was so good I sound liek Thai person. Whereas other people even if they say the thia words the dont use the proper accent and phrasing etc off the words.

I wonder if aspergers enables you to learn and pick up and copy the voices in a way for example you would imagine a parrott or a robot lol?

Or can you not do this?

I don't know if its related to AS or not, but I have always been good at accents and copying people's voices too. I have a good memory for the way that words sound and am able to pronounce them with good accuracy. All of this has made learning foreign languages quite easy.

I lived in Japan for a year and no one could tell I was American on the phone (since they could not see my face). It was quite amusing at times.

Nope.

I do have the occasional compulsion to mimic accents of those around me if they're particularly strong - e.g. my last manager was from Texas, the one before was from Scotland, I slipped into their accents a little, but I think this is normal for most people. I am terrible at accents, I can't even manage to mimic my local accent, friends and family always mock me for trying or when I slip into using local dialect.

I used to mimic accents all the time. Mostly, I mimic cats.

Animal sounds maybe... Cant really do voices

I'm not very good at doing that. I even sing with a Cockney accent.

I am human parrot.

Yes, but not if I consciously try to do it. It happens without any effort on my part.

I haven't done it in a while, but I used to do at least a couple decent impressions. I can also mimic accents/dialects pretty well, cats and dogs too.
I think I have good pitch while singing too, only I don't do it enough to be sure or have a second opinion.

I was born in Russia but I moved to Brookline, Massachusetts, when I was a little kid. Most people say that I have a Boston accent and I live in Texas now. My mother and grandmother have thick Russian accents, they both came to the U.S. when they were adults, and they are both NT. I had an English language tutor that my mom hired a few months before the big move to the U.S., I learned the rest of the English language on my own using a Russian-English dictionary and a notebook within 6 months after living in the U.S.

Not sure if I'm good at it, but I definitely do a lot of accent mimicking, from singing along with the song artists' different accents to adopting the accent appropriate to whatever I'm saying. I tend to borrow phrases or sometimes just the tone of voice from tv and movie characters.

But at the same time I've got a sort-of speech impediment? I just have a noticeably strange voice for which I was once put into speech therapy. And there's a massive difference in the voice I hear in my head and the voice that's actually coming out of my mouth, so maybe I just think I'm good at accents. XD

I'm good with accents. I've a very good ear for them and can often tell which part of the UK a person is from, down to the county or even city, even the more obscure (not just Liverpool, Birmingham, etc). I never have trouble telling if someone is Canadian, rather than American, which is a common mistake among my fellow Brits.

i'm not good with accents or voices at all.

I've been decent with accents but I'm usually better when it comes to mimicking voices. Metalocalypse characters happen to be a specialty. I can do a perfect Nathan Explosion voice and my Skwisgaar and Murderface impressions are pretty good too.

In my opinion, I am good at mimicking accents and some voices. I can always hear the accent; the individual parts of the sound. With practice I feel I can become adept at using any accent. I tend to have a harder time copying actual voices, as I tend to have a naturally higher pitched voice; that makes it easier to mimic some Japanese voices and younger voices though.

I can also mimic some kinds of animal noises, if I am allowed to practice. Unfortunately, family members are less tolerant of howling or barking than they are attempts at foreign accents, and usually tell me to stop it if I try. (when I was younger, if a dog or wolf howled or barked or growled in a tv or movie, I would howl or bark or growl along with it, and if I could I would rewind and replay, and continued to do it as many times as I could before someone would become annoyed and make me stop.)

I will slip up into various accents, real or fake, at random. My most recent accent/voice I am falling into is the one used by Clarice Starling from Silence of the Lambs, who is played by Jodie Foster. West Virginia I think that accent is or at least it's supposed to be?

I've always been fascinated by sounds from people and animals since I was young. It all fits in there with my special interest in languages in general, I think.

I'm working on mimicking British accents. I've gotten a lot better at it than I used to be, especially considering that my favorite TV shows are from the UK.
