Amazing British Kid Can Speak English In 24 Accents (VIDEO)

While many people seem to only speak in other accents when drunk, this kid reveals himself to be an inadvertent dialect savant in this remarkable video. Within eight minutes, he masters two dozen accents used by English speakers. He says that the video is "mostly for his friends," but it's no surprise that such an impressive mimic has received so much attention on YouTube.

We're curious how he's learned all these accents, which he effortlessly flows out in hilarious one-sided phone conversations. (Yes, he even gets the American accents mostly down pat -- rare for even many trained professional actors!) With chops like these, we'll even forgive him for the 'stache.

I am a Japanese. His japanese acccent sounds English-like than what native Japanese speak. Japanese accent English is more vowel accented.

I adore how polite this young man is.. he's so sweet. He's also very talented.. I'd love to hear how he sounds once he's fine-tuned these.

He would be good in a teen spy movie, and to blend his voice to what ever fake passport allias he needed.

He'd be a hoot at parties. Being a midwesterner (Iowan) we don't really have much of an accent so stuff like this is fun. He's got a future in something.

To the people who live in the south or on the east coast, you definitely have an accent. (I'm from IL and I live in SC.) I have the accent here.

I'm an East Coast transplant and Chicago, and trust me, you *do* have an accent.
