Howdy! Hope you’re doing good.
Just wanted to come in and say that I hope you’re aware of just how much your last Death Wolf recording has my boyfriend and I absolutely HOOKED. Absolutely CRAZY good performance. So question: how on earth do you learn to do different accents like that?
Love you Icy!

Aww Pink! 🥺💙 Thank you, I'm glad you both enjoyed it! Short answer is study and practice.
Accents are a TON of fun for me, it's really a lot of attention to details and sometimes really subtle nuance, parroting what I hear, and not being afraid to sound like an idiot when I try to use an accent to say random stupid stuff. It's really an enjoyable challenge to try to get to a point where I can do an accent fairly convincingly.
I spend a lot of time watching tutorial videos, listening to native speakers, and just trying to be satisfied with what I hear on the playback. For Death Wolf, it was obviously clips from the movie, and also behind the scenes stuff of him performing the lines and doing interviews. I think of doing an impression as really just a very specific accent. 😅
