Okay so I'm normally a pretty shy person around people I don't know. In fact, at work I haven't made any friends with my co-workers at all. However, when I serve customers I talk in a British accent with confidence and get great tips due to it. Part of this is due to the fact that I just think it's hilarious, the other is because in my normal voice I have no confidence. As a matter of fact, I have never uttered a word in my college class until today and when I did I spoke in a British accent! It keeps a smile on my face because they really think I'm not from America, which in turn gives me confidence! Is this normal?!?!

    I think you mean an English accent.

      No he means British. He just switches between all the different ones at random times. Languages, too. It's impressive.

    There is no such thing as a 'British' accent...

    I suppose it's fairly harmless and if it's good enough, then the customers aren't to know! What kind of British accent do you mean? There are probably over a hundred. I'm guessing you mean well spoken London or 'Southern' BBC kind of accent? On the other hand, you might mean Cockney London or Westcountry Devonshire (usually referred to here as 'farmer'!) I should mention there's a lot of variation just in the South. I know if I attempted any kind of American accent in public, I'd just make a fool of myself. I can do an excellent Australian accent, though (the softer type.)

    I'm more confident when I ram food in my mouth.
