I've lived in the South all my life, and I've never heard anyone speak with this particular speech impediment. I'm sure this nice lady was an "A" student in acting school during dialect classes. But those dialect coaches aren't from the local regions they teach about. The accents they invent are totally phony in acting school. This is the mythical Hollywood Southern Accent started in the 1930's by Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. But she's from England.
@garydunncolumbus I have also lived in the South my whole life, and life the lady specified, this is an older, sometimes seemingly "classier" version of the southern accent that was common in high society of the South in the old days...I think she is wrong on the Alabama and such, but if you talk to old money in cities like Charleston, you can definitely hear traces of this...
Also, let me add something. If you want a good example of someone who speaks with the accent she is trying to mimic, go listen to Coach Pat Dye, who coached Auburn's football team in the 80's. He is from GAWGA and is the closest person I have heard to this accent in modern times. I am from Bama and this accent is NOT known around here. Maybe in Montgomery circa the 1800's, but not today.
As others have said, the accent she is doing here is the OLD coastal accent, which sadly is mostly extinct today. My great-grandmother was from Georgia and she sounded like this and did not pronounce her R's (think Gone With the Wind). None of us descendants sound that way. We moved onto TN and AL and most of us speak with a Appalachian accent (more hillbilly sounding than this) and we do pronounce our R's.
I always got a kick out of listening to my great-grandmother speak.
this is a flat lands southern accent from older upper middle class type families, more of a charleston if you will. you might catch this in the old cotton producing areas of alabama but on the whole youre gonna get something different
like she said, its an old accent, but you MIGHT still find it in some places. I'm in tennessee and i hear it every once in a while. this is a very rich, wealthy accent. people who sound like this are classy. i think its beautiful.
That sounds so beautiful. If southerners say they don't sound like that anymore maybe they should go back to it. Does that mean most people really just sound like hicks now? Like the rednecks they might show in a movie? It can't be, right? That's a big chunk of Americans sounding, well, not as refined as Amy's accent.
@SicotheClown I hope you dont thank you're talking about all southerns you're talking about the white southern americans, cause we most deff dont talk dat way where im from...
Wow that was BEAUTIFUL! I WISH southerners sounded like that... I think this particular accent, is, like you said, a rather OLD one... Like Gone With the Wind/Civil War era. I don't think I've ever heard anyone speak like this in real life... Gorgeous though...
It's SUPER annoying when I see comments like, "well, I'm from so and so and we don't talk like that." Shut the fuck up. Obviously not EVERY person from that state/country talks the same. She's just doing the stereotypical accent. I'm from Texas and I don't have a southern accent at all but I know plenty of people who do. So umm...chill.
@thenamezjenna The thing is that no one in Alabama actually speaks like this, so such a stereotype is as false as if one were to say that Americans are known for their skills in the game of Cricket. I love Amy's videos but she should have done her homework first on this one.
@dlane0308 Personally, when I think of people from Alabama, I think of their accents to be pretty similar to this. I even remember driving through Alabama and hearing some VERY thick country accents, but of course that's not everyone. Plus she also said this accent is old, so the newer generations wouldn't sound like this.
@thenamezjenna Well you are thinking wrongly. I've lived here all my life. Just about no one drops their rhotic "r" sounds and if they are among the few old folks who do so it is only on the end of certain words. When Amy said "Amuhcan" I busted out laughing. I've never heard anyone say anything like that in all my life.
mmm, huntsville here. I think you've achieved an incredibly precise impersonation of Scarlett from "Gone With the Wind." If that accent ever existed in these parts, it died long ago haha.
well, being from the capital of alabama...i can honestly say i have never met anyone that truly speaks this way, nor do i believe i sound this way either...that would be the true "southern belle" accent...which are mostly found in "JAWJA" so...yea THAT"S BOUT IT FOLKS
You are very talented with your dozens of dialects. Actors are all taught by dialect coaches that this is a Southern Accent. You execute this exactly as any coach would expect and you've obviously worked hard on perfecting it. So your versatile talent is evident. It's not your fault, but I must say that Hollywood continually uses this "accent" for some reason as being representative of the South. However, I must inform you that there has never been anyone truly Southern who speaks this way.
ok im from alabama and i can tell u right know noobody talks like that well i dont sound like that to my self anyways maybe i should make a video and u decide
I live in mobile Alabama which is as south as you can get in Alabama. Now I'm not trying to say that the more south you go the stronger the accents get, where I live I can deffinatly say is Alabama. Woods everywhere. This video isn't right or wrong because where I live no one talks like that. IV met people that do but not many. Things IV noticed about language in Alabama is we don't like to end words with "G" we say " Fishin, huntin, walkin, talkin, sittin." also words seem mumbled.
I am from Alabama and been here all my life and I do not talk like this and practically don't know anyone who talks like this unless they are doing it on purpose. Only the older generation talks similar like this.
The accent in this video is very strong. I'm from Alabama and most of us do have this tipe of accent, but most of the time it's not as strong as it is in this video.
the alabama accent sounds really cool coming from some sorta wealthy CEO from Alabama or some sorta expensive Lawyer like that old Lawyer stereotype ..
That's how my mama talks, but she's from New Orleans. My grandparents are from Bump f* Egypt, and they have a country twang (nasal). A real Southern accent is a mix between drawls on vowels ("I" is [ah]) and don't forget the diphthongs!! [ah swE jE] is "I swear" (old money accent) versus [ãh swe jeR] (country twang). She is really good! She understands what makes the sound in the mouth! Remember, she's using the Southern Accent used in Theatre and such.
That's nothing like I sound like. It's a combo of Jr League and redneck, and there isn't one o those. Either Drop your r's or get twangy, but you can't do both, and we have both here. Oh God, I should have typed that heah shouldn't I, or Aaahiah?
@huntingrl67 Just because you or people you know don't sound like that doesn't mean there aren't those who do. She's just indicating an accent that's unique to the region.
@huntingrl67 She may be wrong about the origin, but the accent exists. Some of my relatives from the New Orleans area speak this way, I've always thought it only existed as a NO accent. That's where "Nawlins" comes from I think
The accent she's doing she does PERFECTLY. It's awesome, and don't bash her for that. But I wonder if she's ever been to the actual south? Here in Upstate South Carolina, we sound... Different from that. Twangy, chewy, rednecky goodness.
thats good but that aint exactly how you do it i should know im from alabama lived in the south my entire life that was good now but it aint quite how my momma talks she does it
@trentlittle are you from mississippi or alabama? cuz if you're not, then you wouldnt. lol Or you're just from the wrong parts of the state that don't talk like that. Where i'm from in alabama, EVERYONE talks like that. haha :)
Yes, it's not what even what the older generation sounds like here. It's nothing like Alabama's accent. It sounds more like the Georgian or general "Hollywood Southern" to me. Mississippi even... But not Alabama.
I grew up surrounded by an older generation of Alabamians from all over the state and not one of them had an accent even reminiscent of this.
This really isn't representative of any Alabama accent I've heard. I'm not sure if this is aimed at actors, but I hope not, as this is the kind of accent that we make fun of when we hear it on film or TV. I do think it is representative of other regions, but not really Alabama.
@carstett Yes it is. Depending on the generation of people speaking, Im from Alabama, I know plenty of older people that speak this way. So yea, it does represent an Alabama accent. Just depends on the generation speaking. It's not a hick accent. Its southern. There is a difference. Just saying.
Back in the day this is how they actually sounded, well not exactly but it was close. I showed my grandmother this and our family is from Alabama, Sheffield, and she said her grandmother sounded like this.
"This is an old accent" seems to mean that people assume that at one time, people did talk like that, but they've all passed on now. It's a current accent that is BADLY copied by just about everyone - been a Southern gal all my life, have visited Alabama and have NEVER heard anyone who sounds like that. I've heard what she and others are trying to copy, but this ain't it.
@TheFiestyhick - oh, yes it is alive and well in some parts of the South. It might be an "old" accent, but it's not a "dead nor fake" one from the folks I know.
Oh crap...I'm from Mississippi and she said it how the true white trash people said it... this reminds me alot of Atticus from "To Kill a Mockingbird" you really don't hear that accent anymore. My mother is northern so I don't have a full blown accent like I ought to, it only shows when I'm really mad and yelling at people.
@Rachulie Are you referring to the southern belle accent? If so I guess I have just heard it because I have lived all of my life in the south..in GA, and I grew up on a plantation (weird I know). I also went to a private school so I knew many well educated people, but I love all kinds of people. The accent does not sound like the one that you hear in Hollywood though. It is a little different. I have never heard anyone fake it correctly actually. That always kind of bothers me.
I am from GA and there are several accents. There is still the more elegant drawn out and well educated Southern belle accent, and there is more of a colorful and nasal "hick" accent including bad grammar.
Old is right. Old as in Hollywood thought this was the perfect Southern accent when they filmed Gone With The Wind, and any movie where people referred to African-Americans as "darkies." Jay-zus.
I'm from around Cullman, and I know people from Cullman, where there are more cows than people. Nobody derhotacizes their words in Alabama. I sure as heck don't talk like this.
I've been to nearly every state that qualifies as "southern" and I'm sorry to say this elegant accent doesn't exist anymore. It died out over 50 years ago. If you want to hear the actual southern accent, you just gotta come hear it for yourself. There's no faking it.
Nice Vivien Leigh (a Brit by the way). No one in Alabama speaks like this, with the exception of actors who have never been South of the Mason Dixon or city folks putting on heirs. Like I said, nice Vivien Leigh impression, though.
This is more Mississippi and south Alabama/Georgia. Some older people also talk like this, but most of the people I know with accents have a much harder accent, with more elisions between words that should never be elided. The accent presented here isn't wrong, persay, it's just not as prevalent as the twangy-ass Redneck sound.
This is the classic civil war era southern gentleman accent, however, NO ONE uses that anymore accept for civil war era vampires on TV :P

"This is an old accent" seems to mean that people assume that at one time, people did talk like that, but they've all passed on now. It's a current accent that is BADLY copied by just about everyone - been a Southern gal all my life, have visited Alabama and have NEVER heard anyone who sounds like that. I've heard what she and others are trying to copy, but this ain't it.

@TheFiestyhick - oh, yes it is alive and well in some parts of the South. It might be an "old" accent, but it's not a "dead nor fake" one from the folks I know.

Oh crap...I'm from Mississippi and she said it how the true white trash people said it... this reminds me alot of Atticus from "To Kill a Mockingbird" you really don't hear that accent anymore. My mother is northern so I don't have a full blown accent like I ought to, it only shows when I'm really mad and yelling at people.

@Rachulie Are you referring to the southern belle accent? If so I guess I have just heard it because I have lived all of my life in the south..in GA, and I grew up on a plantation (weird I know). I also went to a private school so I knew many well educated people, but I love all kinds of people. The accent does not sound like the one that you hear in Hollywood though. It is a little different. I have never heard anyone fake it correctly actually. That always kind of bothers me.

I am from GA and there are several accents. There is still the more elegant drawn out and well educated Southern belle accent, and there is more of a colorful and nasal "hick" accent including bad grammar.

Old is right. Old as in Hollywood thought this was the perfect Southern accent when they filmed Gone With The Wind, and any movie where people referred to African-Americans as "darkies." Jay-zus.

I've been to nearly every state that qualifies as "southern" and I'm sorry to say this elegant accent doesn't exist anymore. It died out over 50 years ago. If you want to hear the actual southern accent, you just gotta come hear it for yourself. There's no faking it.

Nice Vivien Leigh (a Brit by the way). No one in Alabama speaks like this, with the exception of actors who have never been South of the Mason Dixon or city folks putting on heirs. Like I said, nice Vivien Leigh impression, though.

This is more Mississippi and south Alabama/Georgia. Some older people also talk like this, but most of the people I know with accents have a much harder accent, with more elisions between words that should never be elided. The accent presented here isn't wrong, persay, it's just not as prevalent as the twangy-ass Redneck sound.
