  • i like arnolds dialect lol ah what is goon?

  • I don't see a difference in any of the U.S accents except the south. But I'm not from the U.S so what would I know xP It all sounds the same to me except for the South since they obviously have a very specific accent.

  • And by New York, you mean the city, right? Theres a state connected to that city.

    And, by living in that state, I can't differentiate- can someone out of state tell me what someone from (the state of) New York sounds like?

  • u arent even speaking in a normal american accent if that was it would mean i have an accent and i dont i grew up in CT

  • @OfficialEmily32 Everyone has an accent. It's the way in which you pronounce words. You have an American accent then if you're from CT. If you didn't have an accent, you wouldn't be capable of talking

  • I love how your trying to sound like where I'm from, and your ALL wrong. -___- We new yorkers don't sound like that.

  • What?

  • shes pretty hot

  • "change your facial structure" I found a led pipe, now im gonna be irish

  • How do you place resonance 2 inches in front of your lips? Aren't the words out of your control once they exit your mouth?

  • the words resonate in the middle of you mouth - what is that even supposed to mean??

  • And its like "What"....I don't understand.

  • I'm not sure what she means by placing my words at a certain spot

  • i don't think I can change my facial structure...

  • Your left eye is not in the middle of your eye socket

  • AUstralian is upper back? nah we're more open everywhere ha

  • MAKE THIS TOP COMMENT SO SHE CAN SEE!! : TITS OR GTFO!!!!

  • "All you have to do is change your facial structure" WTF?

  • this is all true... this is the kinda stuff you learn from good actors so stop being dumb people...

  • LOL. Seriously?!

  • GOOD WORK AND YOUR SO BEAUTIFUL<333

  • GUYS AND DOLLS

  • My dad doesnt speak like this. New Yorkers don't speak like they have a mouth disease.

  • guys and dolls :)

  • Wow, this is incredible. When we do this out of habit everyday we don't usually realize that our accent, mine being a Southern Draw, are spawned from the area in which our voices are placed naturally! This is a great and helpful video!

  • LMFAO I LOST IT! I'm from NYC and oh lord i rofled.... i just don't understand how speaking can be so complex...

  • lol im from staten island and uhh wow

  • I think a part of me just died inside

  • She blinks her eyes so many times it's driving me crazy...

  • yo im from bed-stuy i feel offinded lol

  • @Cierra1001 Cool im from brooklyn.

  • well where you come from they must talk out of their ass

  • Oh so when i lower my jaw, I automatically get a New York accent... LMFAO

  • i am a new yorker, and i feel offended LOL

  • How the f*ck have you complicated something that's so simple!?!?!

  • More crap from expert village

  • this is helllllllllllla confusing.

  • funny coz i never actually heard her speaking with a new york accent!

  • like your chewing on some gum you look like cow lol. 1:35

  • your sexy :D

  • what??

  • ok so i have to chew on some gum and linger on the word for a second..........wait is that a prep? YOU TAUGHT ME NOTHING

  • You want to be New York? how abt just human? you're halfway being human.

  • I'm an actress and I've take a fair amount of dialect classes and coaching and this is actually a lot of the same stuff you will hear in a standard dialect class.

  • is this bitch on LSD?

  • You can't just say you speak in a New York accent because there are multiple New York accents!!! In New York City, a general accent is obsolete because New York City is the most culturally diverse city in the world so people from hundreds of different countries speak in their native language and everyone has a different accent but let's say you were to venture into Brooklyn, NY (where i'm from). You would usually pronounce things like chocolate as CHAW-K-LIT (putting emphasis on the CHAW.

  • WTF!!!

  • Seriously you guys are so immature. These videos are for actors not for tourists.

  • I'm from NYC. This Bitch is fucking stupid

  • This woman is full of crap - she has little idea as to what she'd talking about, and is she is a NYC native something is wrong, I'd say there is NO way she is.

  • @PokerPlum Do it with 1 = hillarious

    Do it with 3 = masturbating

    Do it with 5 = playing Game Boy

    Do it with 6 = invisible watermelon

    Do it with 8 = touretts syndrome

    Do it with 9 = shhhshing you

  • irish dialect is 2inchs infront of the lip... wat?!

  • your just making it harder than it needs to be. not everyone is retarted like you. so i dont know what your chattin'...

  • so...

  • a bus ride to new york only takes a few bucks, cmon.

  • How about just go to new york for a while?

  • this days people are starting to have mixed hybred accent as the world is becoming more connected

    I know I am one of those people that speak with a Hybred cross culture accent although I was born and raised in NY

  • Im so confused

  • her dialect is talking out of her ass

  • This lady needs to stop looking at me like that.

  • what a fucking idiot

  • This is really fuckn bad

  • sounds crazy indeed

  • "irish dialect is two inches in front of your lips" wtf...

  • I pick up dialects with my ass.

  • This is so interesting! I teach English in China and the idea of "point of placement" is new to me, but so useful! Many times the students simply don't know how to make their mouth make English sounds. Your tips on how to speak New York in your Chin is very interesting, but how do you speak standard English, in the middle of the mouth? Chewing gum moves your point of placement to the chin, do you have a tip on moving your point of placement to the middle of the mouth?

  • @aln29540 Don't listen to this lady she is crazy and frankly, has no idea what she is talking about

  • i watched this cause my mother has a new york accent (i am still getting used to it) this video is so right because ever since i started listening to a lot of country music i got a southern accent and dialect! (i grew up in georgia by the way so i guess that must have added to it) and nobody else in my family talks like me!

  • Im placing my words in my chin?

  • "change our facial structure.." ?? sure, if you pay the bill fr my plastic surgery :P

  • uh... WUDAF?

  • this is so dummin me out

    

  • This is why i hate expertvillage:

    "It's easy to pick up an accent if you use your ears"

    No shit, Sherlock! I was going to use my feet to listen to your crazy rambling oO

  • These are decent pointers but I need more.

  • stupid bitch -.-

  • Lmao

  • when i was younger and learning how to talk my parents took me to tennessee for a week and i came home with a southern accent that took like 3 months to get rid of lol

  • Fuck you for talking down the south. I honestly don't know anyone who talks with that huge of an accent, here in Tennessee.

    Alabama is different, however...

  • @DominatingNA did she say she was talking about Tennessee?

  • @DominatingNA people in the south do not talk like that....I live in Texas

  • @MultiMagic88 Did you not understand me? I just said that people in the south don't talk like that because I live in Tennessee...

  • @DominatingNA I wasn't contradicting what you said just....adding to it

  • Wow... standard american sounds discusting

  • bbboooooooooo

  • well, shes already proven that she doesnt make sense, as she hasnt a clue how to do a british accent

  • I'm from New Yawk and this sucked!

  • I don't understand why people have to comment so negatively towards educators. If you don't like it just close the window. I didn't like everything in the video but I learned at least one thing so quit complaining

  • American English accent is rhotic as being highly influenced by Irish, Italian, Spanish and Scottish.

  • booooooooooooooring

  • she is abusing america accent

  • My friend is from Red Hook, he didn't even notice his accent until this year when he asked for a piece of paper, but he said it like, "pay-puh".

    He was like, "WHOA! O____O". XD

  • ExpertVillage is so awful it's actually made into comedy plus they'res so many burns I could put on her comments on the video it sounded so wrong about the mouth lips and chin. rofl!!

  • Are u trained? or did u just make this shit up? lol

  • I'm a New Yorker, we speak normally. It's those who are born and raised in NYC who have a New Yorker accent and that's because they're non-rhotic speaking. I have yet to see a human being speak like they're chewing gum, let alone a New Yorker.

  • @EverlastingCC Sorry, but New Yorkers do not sound normal to non New Yorkers. New York has a very distinctive family of accents, and it's not just because it's non-rhotic. e.g.: You can't spend 5 minutes in NY without hearing someone order a "coawfee".

  • @lemonrind That's what I'm talking about non-rhotic. "R" becomes a vowel. But I live in western NY and nobody's "R's" sound like "ah" New Yorkers that live in NYC I can understand. That doesn't apply to all New Yorkers.

  • @EverlastingCC amen to that... im from long island

  • @daultonpolis I'm from western New York

  • When she said "standard American dialect" I cringed.

  • OMG this is hilariously retarded!

  • Why do you say dialect? It's not a dialect, it's pronunciation, accent.

  • emm...this isn't a new york accent?? go back to primary?? and words do not resilate or whatever in the middle of your mouth....its through your nose and out the corner of your mouth...gosh

  • emm...this isn't a new york accent?? go back to primary??

  • what a fucking idiot

  • what a dick

  • no,ma'am,no

  • So what you're saying is if we want to sound like an American we have to change our facial stucture to looking like we're inbred and retarded? Naaiiissseeee =D

  • My coworker changed her face structure once to use a dialect in such a weird way that damn, it looked like she was gonna fart! lol

  • the swallow at the end lol

    

  • These videos are a lot of fun. I pick up accents quite easily I think because I see exactly how people not only speak but how their mouth and tongue are positioned. Their phrasing, their sentence structure. I suppose it's the music lessons ingrained from childhood! I enjoy these exercises quite a bit and I have been able to keep a lot of the anglo dialects from my travels. Thanks!

  • "Two inches in front of the lip." lol

    "shoot for...bottom of the jaw." LMFAO!!

  • This is actually very true! And not only for English! Like I'm from Amsterdam, and my 'point of placement' is like right behind my teeth. Some chick I know from the South says hers is like in her jaw. But...fuck pop, the most important thing is the learn the sounds! Like in Boston, I don't care sounds like I don't cea! I love it, fucking love it!

  • hold down the number 6 key.........then try the 9 key haha

  • rubbish

    

  • Not bad, but...

    Why would anyone want to talk like a new Yorker?

    I met a guy in Vegas, he actually said "yo, am from New Yoahk" ... like we couldn't tell!

  • What garbage..

  • Sweet. She has a very professional radiation. Loved to be her student.

  • @PokerPlum That was actually really amusing

  • actually all kids learn their accent through mimicing

  • I live in New York and I have a normal accent. I don't know anyone around my neighborhood who speaks like they're chewing gum.

  • this woman chats shit.

  • @lfcdanny92

    she sure does..

  • do u feel how it feels ??? on the chin....

  • @movietvshowJBfan yes but its not "standard american" its "american english", she makes american sound like a whole another language

  • @npeacock724 She isn't speaking of "American" in the context that it's a seperate language, she means the American variant of English, in other words, dialect.

  • how the heck is she chewing her gum?!

  • her voice annoys me

  • What else do Americans have in the middle of their mouth?

  • Do you even know what the fuck a dialect is? A dialect is something that is quite different from the language. Cantonese and Shanghainese are dialects. You're talking about an accent you llama.

  • When your said "change your facial structure" I thought I had to get Botox.

  • I'm from New York. This is bullshit.

  • I  never knew that you have to actially pretend chewing the gum to speak with Yankie's accent.

  • wait irish is two inches infront of the lip??? what the heck?? so they talk with their tounge sticking out??

  • yr right abt point of place-I never realized that before. thanks for the video-

  • Well your no help

  • Comment removed

  • ha ha the heavy New York accent sounds so white trash. 

  • your not going to pick up a dialect using your taste, touch, smell or sight. Well done for stating the obvious.

  • I start howling at 1:35

  • you have to change your facial structure.... that is why southern women are more beautiful!!!!!

  • i want to smack your gum!

  • right when the commercial came on i commented on this video and just left.... Not worth watching a shitty video with a commercial.

  • @x3Gunman3x in the time it took you leave that comment the ad would of been over. Smart!

  • i like this lady she is right

    i never relized that i talk with my jaw

  • Comment removed

  • she's a tool

  • @EmilyRules971 I would say that at least the term "Standard American" is legit because there is a constant demand for it in the Film/TV/Theater industry, although defining it can be tricky. However, the more and more Americans connect with others outside their own locale (cell phones, internet, TV, etc.) the more likely they will lose the defining features of their personal dialect and adopt a more ubiquitous (and also neutral or nondescript) way of speaking. Especially younger generations.

  • Is there actually a standard American accent because in England, or Britain there isn't one.

    Just wondering.

    Does in the USA every state have a different accent or something.

  • @EmilyRules971 We have just as many as yours.... I can list a few. Texan, Southern, Cuban, Italian New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Midwest, California, valley girl, Cascadia :P, mid-atlantic and Im presuming Mexican? :P we have a hell of a lot.

  • @BlitzoftheReich in england we have....Black British English England (English language in England) Northern Cheshire Cumbrian (Cumbria including Barrow-in-Furness) Geordie (Tyneside) Lancastrian (Lancashire) Scouse (Merseyside) Mancunian-Salfordian (Manchester & Salford) Mackem (Sunderland) Northumbrian (rural Northumberland) Pitmatic (Durham and Northumberland)
  • @Eddtastic100 i'm salfordian ;D

  • @BlitzoftheReich also.. Yorkshire (also known as Broad Yorkshire or Tyke) In the far north, local speech is noticeably Scots in nature. East Midlands West Midlands Black Country English Brummie (Birmingham) Potteries (north Staffordshire) Southern Received Pronunciation (Also known as Queen's English or BBC English) Cockney (East London) East Anglian (Norfolk/Broad Norfolk, Suffolk and North Essex)
  • @BlitzoftheReich oh and also...

    Estuary (Thames Estuary)

    Kentish (Kent)

    Multicultural London English (Inner London)

    Sussex

    West Country im not gonna do the rest of the british dialects.......

  • This is explanation is way too vague. Yes, there are New York dialects that are forward and nasal (i.e. 1930's Brooklyn, plenty of female dialects of Manhattan, Brklyn, Qns, LI, SI and NJ, etc.) but there are just as many "tough guy" dialects from Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, the City, Jersey, etc. that have completely opposite resonation, down and back (in the throat and chest). SPECIFY. And while you're at it, you should distinguish "articulation" from "resonance."

  • I listened to your advice and I got punched in the face.

  • stfu

  • No british accent and another thing we ave no bloody butlers and no bloody pin striped suit and we dont talk like idiots look at shaun rider thats what we are like!

  • what the fuck? did anyone else get her? lmao

  • "Like your smaking on some gum" lol

  • bitch whatever, i just wanna get in to ur pants

  • hey some ugly bitch mad fun of your vids

  • southern people DO NOT talk like that well most o us ok!!!!??????!!!!!

  • oh really dialect? you mean accent!

  • @TehCavern I agree. I think she has dialect and accent confused. But she is trying. Nothing wrong with that.

  • lady, we southern people DO NOT talk like that at all. just saying

  • Good video. Never heard dialects explained that way. Makes so much sense with the locations in the mouth.

  • Your accent is hideous. they way you say "dialect" makes me cringe.

  • oh if you use your ears??? seriously!!! WOOWWW

  • What else do you have in the middle of your mouth ?

  • @openedup09 lmao

  • ok i didnt know people chew with their bottom front teeth that makes no sense!

  • I am Pretty Sure No Body SMACKS there gum!

    We arent cows chewing on our Cud!

  • YOU MAKE FUN OF ME!!!

  • it's for actors, dumbasses. onstage if you're portraying an accent you do the stereotype of it, to make it more clear for the audience. if you want to do a california voice, most people do a "valley" voice, using stuff like "like, oh my gawd, guys, oh my gawd! like .." it's just an exaggeration. obviously you can't learn to do an authentic accent. theres just no way.

  • I think you people don't know anything about the language you speak. There is a thing called Standard American English. And you do have to move you mouth in certain ways to produce a certain sound. Some of these comments are very, very ignorant.
