Why can't i have that fabulous english accent?

Question

i went to birmingham and london with 5 of my friends last summer

and we're planning to go again because we had a blast,

but there is one of my friends who is just soooo good at the english accent that all the people who were english that we met thought she was from london!

how is she able to fool the natives!?

Answer 1

I am English and you really have to be born with the accent, any impersonations sound very fake to me. I am sure that my attempt at the American accent would be laughable to the average American so i would`nt even try it and i think that the English accents are even harder to copy so i would`nt even bother trying.
