Southern American Accent 2

[tritonbaby1]

Lol. You sure do say uhhh a lot. Just like me. Lol

[tayloreve]

Seriously..have you ever been down South? LOL no one talks like that.

[manuchamp99]

@TheComedian851 thanks!

[tokiohotelpunkbaby]

I'm from Charleston, SC and you truly sound colonial. Not how we talk now, but colonial.

[manuchamp99]

@tokiohotelpunkbaby cool, thx.

[tokiohotelpunkbaby]

@manuchamp99 I think it's good that you didn't do the stereotypical southern hick accent :) and your welcome.

[danieldefenseM4]

You have a 1800's era coastal Georgian/South Carolina accent. You can tell that you are faking it, but the way you are pronouncing words resembles more of that era.

To be honest, you would NOT pass for a southerner in modern times. But if you had a time machine, you might. ;)

[manuchamp99]

@danieldefenseM4 Haha, thanks.

[xCrayolaa]

kmsl we talking nothing like this .

[dlenz4437]

That accent is from mid-georgia through south and north carolina but ppl are using it less and less, your also mixing the british "awh" sound and u need to tyten up your "e" sound, like for "pen" say "pin "

[leightonransome]

Nobody in my town of Baton Rouge talks like that...and I live in the lowest state....We talk with no accent

[jerseyshore112]

this is just stupid u hate to be rude but your accent is horrible.... u sound tipsy or british

[manuchamp99]

@jerseyshore112 Thank you for the compliment, sir! Yours, Captain Jack Sparrow.

[TheDaltonboii]

like he says in the description ATTEMPT.

[j2the69]

You sound like Christopher Walken...like a lot! No offense, the CW accent is the best!

[DemigodFan]

Man you sound like a ranch boy who's rode 3 too many bulls. Like you been knocked around a few too many times. Or just some fancy smancy rich cowboy. I know that was a common accent in the 1800s with plantation owners. So it could be from Georgia. Savannah most likely. My dad used to go there for St. Patty's day for the beer. But no one in Missouri talks like that. And I should know cause lots a hicks come round where I live. For the cow farm

[manuchamp99]

@DemigodFan Haha, ''rode 3 too many bulls". Brilliant.

[Able24h]

It sounds like an archeaic southern accent. Probably louisianna, mississippi upperclass accent circa 1860.



[RetroJenny]

@Able24h Most southerners do not sound like this. Maybe back in the 1800s you would hear some people talk in this manner.

[coolcrayon95]

im from Georgia and I think you could easily pass for a georgian (:

[manuchamp99]

@coolcrayon95 awesome!

[LushandBright]

@coolcrayon95 Are you on crack?He sounds British.

[FinaKing1]

@coolcrayon95 noooo way .. i dont know what part of georgia your from...

[mythelou]

this is horrible

[heygene3]

Then everyone in Savannah has a virginian accent ... but its strange ... i have relatives in the virginia mountains ... they dont talk like that at all ....

[Turigamot]

@heygene3 Big difference between the Mountain accent and the Tidewater accent. Unfortunately, with all the transplants, the accent's dying out.

[heygene3]

As a guy who grew up in the south and now lives in Ft. lauderdale, FL which is by no means "the south"

You sir ... in this video ... sound like you could possibly ONLY be from Savannah, GA ... no one else in the south uses that voice. You also seem to have "Christopher Walken" syndrome ... see the movie "Biloxi Blues" and you will see what I mean. Good try though ... :)

[manuchamp99]

@heygene3 lol, ok. Thanks.

[Turigamot]

@heygene3 Actually, this is much closer to the old Virginia accent. This is not a Georgia accent.

[Turigamot]

But they don't speak that way no mowa, too many folks livin' in Vahginya now ain't from around heya.

[MsPebbles2010]

it sounds odd becuase your speaking to slow

[TheDaltonboii]

i live in georgia and nobody talks like that around here

[avkopr97]

Your first one was way better cuz the first one is actually how ppl from the south talk!!! This sounds british !! Haha nd don't let no southern ppl tell u tht thts not how they talk cuz it is!!! :D hehe ur also rlly cute (Just needed to say tht) no creeperish thoughts intended

[manuchamp99]

@avkopr97 lol.

[jlcemf]

@avkopr97 I think that if I was southern I'd know whether or not he sounded southern as opposed to someone who wasn't. And with that being said, neither attempts sounded southern. But what do I know? I'm just from the south where I speak and hear it everyday....

[ForeverTheBeatles1]

Yeah...This sounds more like me. Haha

[singmenow4u]

Heah is the feed back. Ok, you got the feel. I am not Southern but at times pretend to be to keep in conversation. You must pay attention to not only what you say but how you say it consistently. Besides crossing about 3 different southern accents, you made a most grievous mistake, one that any southerner can pick up on quick. You said "doin" at about the 7 second mark and then used the "ing" doing at the end....Dead give away. Plus your lilt and cadence was very awkward. Good job overall.

[manuchamp99]

@singmenow4u Thanks, i guess.

[ditter360]

that aint no southern accent........either you speak it or you don't.....can't be what you are not!

by the way....you sound like you are gay...

[manuchamp99]

@ditter360 Sorry to disappoint you, but i'm not gay.

[PooPoo2U]

to be as blunt as possible: no. no one in the south actually talks like this. people about 150 years ago, maybe, but even those people were frowned upon as morons by the real people of the time.

it's hyperbolic and in no way relevant to the way any southerners speak.

[Cakeypie13]

uhhh yer accent sounds very very strange! sounds so boring

[Nick22pr]

thats closer to my accent. in NC/SC/VA. except its drawn out even more and has much more bass and depth to it.

[infonomics]

Very good older Southern, Hollywood-type accent. In other words, an embellished Southern accent for the big screen. Also seems to be very natural which may owe to your crafting. If you want to hear a true Deep Southern accent for mimicking, search for Shelby Foote on Youtube.

[manuchamp99]

@infonomics Thanks a lot! I just looked him up - yeah, that's exactly what i was going for!

[jebyoung9960]

i live in southern va and a whole lot people have that accent with more of a draw to it

[TheConservativesrock]

Loiusiana i believe.

[Indygoguy]

What you are doing sounds more like the old yankee, Main, accent more than anything else. Pehperidge fahhhhrm Remehhhhhmbahs. New Englanders drop their "R"s too. "I always drohp my ahhhs, they always dissapeeyuh, and whehyah they go I have no eye-deee-errrr." The "r"s that are dropped end up at the ends of word like "law" which becomes "lawr" or idea which becomes "eye-dee-errr"

[InfamousCrotchet]

Mmm, white Louisiana southern plantation owner. You were right, this is an older variation.

[2SecretAuthor2]

Oh god... Sounds like you need to get an all white suit with a white hat (feather is mandatory) and white alligator/snake/ostrich skin boots...

[ArielNotTheMermaid]

Try talking a bit faster. Southern accents may sound like they're droning on but really they talk at a pretty fast pace. Plus it'll sound more natural. :)

[draikentz]

the first one was better. Your natural accent is coming through a LOT

[cameronpoole]

terrible! nice try though. You have to pick what kind of southern accent you are going for. If you are going old south with mint juleps and stuff , then you have to drop your "r"s and replace them with a long drawn-out a. For instance, Water becomes wahta`. My wife's family has that accent and it's just music to the ears. Especially in old men. I grew up in more of an Appalachian area where the "i" sounds are much more pronounced and drawn out. That's not nearly as nice to listen to. 

[dandestructobot]

Very educated Alabama accent.

[avwsitts]

Louisiana, i guess.somewhere around there.

haha, you sound like Bill from True Blood.

[jaegerhund]

As a southerner I can say that your accent isn't too bad. You might be hard pressed to find this accent as it seems to be dying out. But in general it would be located along the coast from North Carolina to Georgia and to a lesser degree west towards Louisiana. This was an accent developed by more prosperous English planters who settled along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The interior of the South was settled more by the Scotts, Welsh, and Irish and developed its own accent variations.

[manuchamp99]

@jaegerhund cool :]

[lotusintheraw]

@jaegerhund yeah, louisiana for sure.

[MarkBH70]

@jaegerhund Yeah, not bad.

Alabama? Georgia probably. It sounds like an east-Georgia accent. For a while you sounded like Charles Stanley, a preacher from Georgia. You can hear him on YouTube. Interesting endeavor you're on. It's a deep-South accent. Things sound slow and drawn-out there. Best wishes.

[VASINGER]

@jaegerhund don't forget Virginia.

[jaegerhund]

@VASINGER That's right I did forget Virginia.

[MrRedFredSaid]

The accent sometimes sounds bit like former Pres. Jimmy Carter who had a very traditional sort of accent and was from Georgia. But it also sounded like an old-fashioned upper class accent from the low-country, maybe anywhere from South Carolina and up the coast to parts of Virginia.

You've definitely got the Ah instead of I down...as in "Ah don't know what Ah've been doing all day long." Glad you realize, though, that there is no single southern accent!

[baconpatrol1]

The first one was cajan, originated in lousianna. It's a mixture of French and southern accents as France was one of the main developers of louisianna, aptly named after king Louis. It's more elegant than a regular southern accent, yours Is pretty good, you let the English slip out on some of your l words.

-will, Arkansas

[manuchamp99]

@baconpatrol1 hey, thanks for the interesting info!

[firestormrex]

omg...!  NO!

[iamspecial14]

That was pretty terrible lol Americans don't say "uh" "uhm" THAT much! Especially not southerners! Nice try tho =P

[manuchamp99]

@iamspecial14 yeah, that wasn't part of my impression - i was just thinking what to say next, lol.

[AgentCarter]

thats kind of an upper class south carolina accent. your first attempt was better, i can hear your british coming through too often here

[Fudgey123873434]

Nice try, but pretty flat. It needs more emphasis and pronunciation
