Of the lot I enjoyed the Kiwi imitation most, but they’re all good. I was least convinced by Texas.

My guess is the more you know about any of the individual accents, the less impressive it is. I’m from Tennessee and I got a good laugh out of her South Carolina accent.
The “Toronto” accent was actually Newfoundland.
I’m from the Lowcountry of SC and she got the Charleston accent down pretty well. I’m impressed.
All the British ones were spot on. To my ear the others were also very good, though I’m less well qualified to say.
These were very good, especially the SC, Texas and New Zealand one. My eye kept being drawn to the title “Does anyone know this chicks name or at least her age?”, which only added to the comedy.
Can’t believe some of the nitpicking on that site, considering most people can’t even hide where they’re from with their accents! Those of us who aren’t trained linguists and dialectologists will only ever have superficial and cursory ‘knowledge’ of what an X/Y accent is supposed to sound like anyway.
Now having said all that I definitely thought the North American ones were less convincing.. overall a terrific job though. Cheers.
She made a couple of slip ups, but the accents were dead on. Even the Texas one, after she had a moment to get into it. The difficulty is going straight from one into the next. It takes a moment. But once she had a few words to get into it, in all honesty she could have been any lady from Texas.
She is amazing, but I want to point out that her Parisian accent was fairly bad. I’m not sure how to describe it, but Parisians tend to have a very “tight” voice.
She sounds more like the Haitian or African elites who were raised in private schools.
You people are picky. I’ve been to half those places and known natives from all the others; she did a better job than I could (especially skipping from one to the other that quickly) and I’m pretty decent at accents (I’ve been mistaken for English, Irish and US Southern by natives of those places over an extended conversation).
I’m also very amused by all of you who think her British is good but her American accents are weak. It says right on her YouTube bio that she’s an American.
Her Texas accent was a dead ringer for Sandy on “Sponegbob Squarepants”.

It is enlightening ! we should thinking about it for a long time untill the things to be proved
