I saw this, it's amazing. My wife and I both watched it.
She talked exactly with all the mannerisms and everything.

I've heard of this condition before, most likely from the same story. apparently it's actually called "foreign Accent Syndrome", and it's a recognized medical condition. it's very rare, though.

I wish you all could've heard her: it was very very compelling. Not just the accent, all the mannerisms were there.

I did hear her, and yes, you're right. It's freaky how British she sounded. A person who has never set foot anywhere outside britain couldn't have sounded more convincing.

Yup, it's definitely a rare condition. I've heard of it before.

Hmm was hoping the medical people on here would weigh in on this one. Thoughts as to what causes it, or how it works?

Even on the discovery health channel, they were saying it was very rare, and that they couldn't exactly pinpoint what caused it.

Actually, you can see the video on:

She sounds a bit Scottish to me and it may be her dentist's fault.
