Offense sensitivity

Offering my voice talent as a native English speaker is my main expertise. However, I am capable of some dialects from London and Scottland, Australia and New Zealand. I can also impersonate French, German and Spanish accents when people of those languages speak English. However, with today's offensensitive cancel culture, can actors actually do those sorts of things anymore?

I thought I'd add that to my specialized portfolio, but not even Seuss is safe these days.

Unless you are going to mock an accent, there's nothing offensive about that.

You'd be unconvincing if you used 'British' as a synonym for 'English' as you appear to have done here.  (Assuming you aren't time travelling and Scotland hasn't gone through devolution.)

Thank you, Kim.

I've corrected my faux pas.

I LOL at this because you know we call it "acting" for a reason.
