Does anyone know where/how to learn accents? Audio or dvd's? I am interested in creating more varieties in my roles, as I recently had a few people ask me what accents I can do and how good I am at them. Didn't know it was relevant. Most actors I know are trying to get rid of their accents lol.

Hi Annika, accent coach Amy Walker with "21 accents" has her videos on YouTube. While you can hire her and I bet, she's not cheap either, she has tons of free videos on YouTube. She's awesome!

Expand commentThe things that works best for me is Gillian Lane Plescia's Accents for Actors CD series. You can get them at the Drama Book shop in Manhattan or online. She really gives you the rundown of how a particular accent is different and what you gotta pay attention to. I listen to that a few times, choose a few particular clips that are especially helpful for me and than do them all day basically. Note: The people interviewed in her CD's are actual locals of the area of whichever accent the CD's for. And, btw, lol Annika, how many Hungarians are out there? Hehe.
