      Your Irish accent is perfect! Have you ever tried any other Irish accents outside of Dublin?

      Art Stug The only struggle is when it’s hard to find consistent, authentic samples. When I performed in Under Milk Wood years ago, it was so hard to find good Welsh accent samples because those accents can be strangely looked down upon, even though they’re Beautiful! Like Elvish. 🥰🧚‍♀️

    I remember a video she did years ago that went viral. Everyone laughed at her attempt at an English accent.

    The background is lovely but highly distracting.

    I usually cringe at Americans doing British accents, but Amy’s ones are not bad (although a bit non-specific)

    I love how she switches throughout the whole video. Amazing! And her explanations were so easy to understand with her demonstrations.

    I came fully prepared to denounce her in favor of Erik Singer. But I’ve been schooled. Por qué no los dos, right?
