Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

English accent: convincing.

Italian, French, German, Australian, Asian: best used as purposely cheesy.

New Jersey, Bronx: convincing, having lived in the New York area for over a decade.

"Fargo" accent: convincing, being from the Upper Midwest originally.

I'm happy to sound like Sid the Sloth from the Ice Age movies and all too adept at sounding like a nerd or hen-pecked husband.
