English kid does 24 different accents...

This kid is great. Some of them are not perfect, but all are darn good.
However -WARNING - before you watch, he curses up a storm in his impressions so if you don't like the f-bomb, skip it

This is definitely NSFW and you may want to turn the volume down if you have kids around. Despite that, I think he's got some talent.

Pretty good! I think you can always hear a little bit of his British accent in every other accent, though.

Not bad at all, apart from the Welsh accent, he's wide of the mark there, Richard Burton is the dude for that ; )

Just as I suspected, his Indian English accent is pretty stereotypical. An improvement on comedy shows

but that still isn't how a good English speaker person here speaks.

To reinforce my point, my cousin was in NYU a few months back and the people he met were surprised by his clean (supposedly "un-Indian") accent. He did the funny stereotypical Indian accent and had everyone in splits.

I know it's just for fun and you won't find a person more into self deprecating humor than me. Even so, if the "kid" is after accuracy in mimicking accents, he failed to achieve his target there

I do a few accents myself while drinking and fooling around with friends. (There was one night I was chatting with my friends from UK,Nerherlands&Belguim and a few Turks,I was drunk to the feet,I introduced myself as a Russian person and kept with it,people were crying,choking of laughing.It is my best heh.

)

I used to do the French accent the way he does but there's this exchange student from Paris and he sounds nothing like that.
