Just like the USA, there are many different accents in Britain. I assume the British accent you are referring to is a posh English accent common mainly in southern parts
@alex123superface Theres the southern accent which yes you would probably call a bit posh , theres geordie which is a rough newcastle tyne accent , scouse , is a little hard to explain , just go to liverpool then theres yorkish they put a bit more emphasis on the o letter really , and thens theres cornish and northwest...
Lol I know, I'm British. I'm actually from Devon, where people either speak with a less posh version of The Queen's English and the famous Devonshire accent. Oo arr me lovely!
And if we're being technical, and talking about British accents as opposed to English accents, there are also several varieties of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish accents, although in fairness since those countries are pretty small the variations tend to be more or less broad versions of themselves
Keep working at it, you have potential...just try to remember that even different regions in the U.S. have several accents. There are roughly 183 different southern accents alone. A good one to listen to for Georgia is Holly Hunter.
The David line sounds Canadian.. Your Texan sounds like someone from Michigan..Shooting firearms while drinking Alchohol is a serious crime in the United State, and if you do it in a Federal Game Management area they will put you in prison and auction your vehicle and weapons.... Don't believe all the B.S.about American people on Youtube.. P.S. Our government, media has been hijacked and we the people are not in controll... America is not what it used to be and big changes are ahead....
It sounds a little like a mix of Texan and Ontario haha :) I guess just watch a lot of movies, yeah and try to copy exactly what people say. Just go line by line :) You can do it!
I've lived in Texas all my life and I've never met anyone who sounds remotely like that. Honestly almost everyone I hear try to imitate a Texas accent do terribly. Including Texans from large cities where we sound pretty much the same as any other large city that isn't known for having a very distinct accent. I don't really know why people think we talk like John Wayne and Dolly Parton who were from Iowa and Tennessee anyway.
You need to listen to some American Country music, like Brooks and Dunn. Copy their accents if you want to sound Southern American/Texan. BTW, love your dimple!!!
aaaww. nice try. i was laughing really hard. but then have to remember that i tried an english accent ... didnt work out so well. but nice try though :)
Hahaha. You're funny and everything, but whenever you switched to an "American" accent you sounded like you'd gotten hit in the head with a baseball bat. The Texas one was on the road to being decent (with a looooot of work), but the first one you did was hilariously random and sounded like no natural accent I've ever heard in my life.
haha im American an your texas accent is really close jus one thing... HAVE BAD GRAMMER. dont say all the vowels in the words. leave out letters if you can. smooch words together like gonna, wanna, shoulda all Americans do that a little. but Americans from the south do it the most. like im American have lived here my whole life an get confused talking to Americans from the south. ....like WTF YOU SAYING!!!!! haha but yea the texas accent is pretty good. like how your talking in your throught.
Haha, I'm british, I'm in Texas right now, And the people i know over here don't sound much like that. But i'm guessing it's the area where i'm now living. I don't know.
I'm from North Carolina.. so I have a bit of experiance with such an accent : ]
The biggest thing is working on your vowels- for example, you must get rid of the british a... 'ah' in dance (d'ah'nce) for the American 'ay' in dance (d'ay'nce)
As you listen to the way American speak on the movies you watch, take some simple notes on the way the vowels change from British-English to American-English, that should help alot. You can do it!!!
yeah also, that american you spoke about was right. if you live here (US) long enough, you can even tell what part of the state someone is from. like, i can tell by listening to someones southern accent if they are from the carolinas, texas or tennesee. what seems like a general ameican accent to a foreigner, can be many different things if you can pick up on the really insignificant nuances
lmao, those are the most horrible american accents i've ever heard. it doesnt sound like any distinguishable accent...i think because u are over-doing it like many brit actors do- it makes you sound like a cartoon. listen to hugh laurie on house- he is one of the few brits that does a perfect standard american accent.
I asked a Texan about the Texas accent, he informed me Texas has got a lot of them. Illinois doesn't have a distinct accent, it varies according to which part of the state you're in that borders another state with a more distinct accent. Southern Illinois is Kentucky and Missouri. Southwestern Illinois is St. Louis. Eastern Illinois is Hoosier (Indiana). Western Illinois is Iowa (Midwest, General American). Northern Illinois is Wisconsin.
Without a doubt, the purest American accents are from Nebraska, and nearby states, Most DJs come from here. I think, the best spoken English of any country, comes from there also. No, I don't live there, but in the Northwest, which is quite good. If I lived in England, I could not learn the accent. The best way, other than living in the place you want to imitate, is to be very dedicated to the goal, and either practice so much or use a dialect coach.
The most common American accents are the southern accents (there are different ones). There are about 100 million Americans who live in the southern states (Texas/Oklahoma to Georgia up to the Mason-Dixon line). However, southern accents are not the ones typically portrayed in media.
With no personal attack on anybody, this guy clearly comes from the north of England where they really do talk like this -- it's the English accent rarely ever broadcast in America since the metropolitan part of England is further south. When it is publicized, though, it's never for long; watch the extras (like Nevill Longbottom) in the Harry Potter films and you'll get a glimpse. :)
yeah, not all texans talk like that, only in some small towns, where everyone drives dodge rams and goes huntin and drinkin. unfortunately thats where I live
@LOLFanme WHAT?! Really?! what state are you from? I'm from Chicago and we never say "I'm from America". It just sounds so foreign. As if we're from colonial times.
I hate to say it but when I hear those pageant girls say something "In America...." it just sounds dumb to me. I mean, there's North, Central, and South America. It's like saying that you like the "British accent" when a Brit can be English, Welsh, Scottish or someone from Northern Ireland.
Be that as it may, I personally have always said America. I also happen to fancy a nice british accent too (primarily English), but I see your point to some extent :-)
@LOLFanme LOL, guess not...I'm gonna try to say that in front of my sister's "America" and see if they say anything lol. Maybe it depends on the region you're in.
@femmefatale1990 Everyone's got their circles, and you clearly got your politically correct one. It's ludicrous to say Chicagoans don't use *America* in the sense of *US*. It's even more ludicrous to say that use is incorrect. Most words have multiple meanings, and America the country is overwhelmingly established usage. If I named my daughter America, would you refuse to call her by her first name because it could refer to other things?
@androkyle Yeah, you're right. I guess I am trying to be politically correct, but it has always sounded *stupid* to me...can't help but feel that way. I guess, it's because I'm used to hearing people say "well, in America..." with this horrid valley girl voice.
I did read that it is considered ok to use it but...meh! I'm stubborn and refuse to use it.
The most common American accent? The Standard American accent is the Midwestern accent. The one you hear people in our news speaking in.
roll your R's. pronounce your T's like D's (lol)..ummm what else?...grrr just watch videos from a voice coach on here about speaking in an American dialect and select the main differences. Write those down and then mimic a specific actor if you can.
Your Texan accent is much better than your Standard one, but still, you need a LOT of practice if you want to convincingly play an American.
By the way, for a non-American, "East, West, and Texas" is not too bad of a generalization. Though you may want to study the Boston accent, as it's a bit closer to British than Standard and so may be easier for you to work with.
You seem to have a very common problem. You highly exaggerate the accent, at least in my opinion. Don't try to force it out, if you know what I mean. You're on the right track. Your texan accent is too thick for the majority of the people who live there.
Your Texan accent is strangely reminiscent of Jack Nicholson. Try watching clips of American news anchors... regardless of their region, they will usually put on a "standardized" American accent... check out stations like King 5, Komo 4, and Kiro 7.
your American accent is more backwoods of Canada....so keep practicing. Btw--the Texas accent sounds awful. I'm from New Jersey, despite the fact that it's a very small state we have about 3-4 distinguishable accents. Not to mention NYC 5 boroughs and 5 different accents. Americans have many different accents in general. Try to go for a Mid Western accent. I hear those are easier to duplicate. quick tip: Southerns speak slowly. Northerners more quickly
hahahaha i loved it! but im from texas and im sorry i dont really know anyone with that accent, hardly ever do you find someone who sounds like that(:
I live in Houston, Texas and I can tell you that the "Texan accent" only is spoken by a small percentage of individuals. In fact I used to know someone with a "Texas accent" and she was constantly made fun of for it.
if you wanna do a believable American accent stick with west coast it will sound more "normal" i guess. think Paul Walker and try not to get too country like Mathew Mcconaughey
The generic american accent that most people in the U.K. are familiar with is the one thats popular in the Midwest, so really try to say your R's, and try not to enunciate on the O's.
roflz that was awesome!!! haha and T1meW4st3d is right about the different accents in texas. i noticed that too when we got someone from way in the north of texas and everyone was asking him what state he was from. if your still looking for tips then just try to fit every word in the sentence into one word....
sounds like a slightly drunk Stuie Grifffen sometimes and to high pitched and nasal. I'm from Austin TX and i have never heard an accent like that, btw texas is so big that there r different accents in the state. Austinites don't have thick accents, but if u go out to west TX u can deff hear a change. keep at it though and look up Georgia the accent.
i'm from cleveland, ohio. they say that the midwest accent is the most common an actor should have. so yeah, focus on "r" and vowels. our vowels make different sounds than yours, obviously. i know this video has been posted for a while, so this advice is a bit late, but better late than never :) hope everything worked out well for you!
Sorry dude, that was really horrible. It sounded almost Canadian-Irish. One thing I did notice is that if you fixed the way you pronounced your a's, you'd be much better at the accent.
For example, the name "David." When you pronounce it, it sounds more like "DEE vid." If you could manipulate your voice to make it sound more like "DAY vid, your accent would sound much better.
The most common: the west. Really flat a's, highly pronounced r's and our o's are not rounded. Probably the most boring and unattractive accent you can imagine. Not too interesting...
I live in Texas, and not really many people have that hardcore western accent here in the cities. The only time you really run into that is when your in the small towns.
lol. I honestly wouldn't listen to all of the harsh comments others are saying. I bet they couldn't even do your accent.
I'm not a Texan, but 1 thing Americans do is pronounce 'T' like a 'd' so.. water = wahder. I can easily do the 'southern' accent, and like that 1 person said b4 me, pronounce your 'i's like 'a's so fire = faahheer. and sorry i know this is kinda late and all, but I thought I'd still give you a tip. lol.
I just don't get people saying oh it's 'awful'. The guy is trying so give him at least credit for that. I think it would be far more hilarious to watch a Texan tryin a British accent. bahahahaha
Sorry man, but the Texan accent was pretty terrible. I am from Texas and though I don't have a Texan accent, I have had plenty of time to observe it. So here's what I've observed:
The days of the week like Monday Tuesday ... are pronounced "MUNDEE" "TUESDEE" and so on. Also, words with I in them like FIRE and MICHAEL are pronounced with more of an "A/AH" sound tha
really bad accent sorry

This guy is clearly English. You just find hard to believe because he's not bashing the US like most of you nationalist hypocrites.
fitz207 1 year ago
@fitz207 Yes well I think you might be right. I've never heard such a weird English accent before, though. He seems like a bit of an idiot.
I am no nationalist. I'm not even English. There are pros and cons to every country, including England and the USA.

I live in Houston, Texas and I can tell you that the "Texan accent" only is spoken by a small percentage of individuals. In fact I used to know someone with a "Texas accent" and she was constantly made fun of for it.

if you wanna do a believable American accent stick with west coast it will sound more "normal" i guess. think Paul Walker and try not to get too country like Mathew Mcconaughey

The generic american accent that most people in the U.K. are familiar with is the one thats popular in the Midwest, so really try to say your R's, and try not to enunciate on the O's.

roflz that was awesome!!! haha and T1meW4st3d is right about the different accents in texas. i noticed that too when we got someone from way in the north of texas and everyone was asking him what state he was from. if your still looking for tips then just try to fit every word in the sentence into one word....

if you came to texas talking like that, we'd shit our pants laughing, that was the wierdest thing i've ever heard, lol.

Whoa you sound like Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Also, your Texas accent isn't much better than the first, which means it's really bad.

sounds like a slightly drunk Stuie Grifffen sometimes and to high pitched and nasal. I'm from Austin TX and i have never heard an accent like that, btw texas is so big that there r different accents in the state. Austinites don't have thick accents, but if u go out to west TX u can deff hear a change. keep at it though and look up Georgia the accent.

The "Texan" was nasaly, sounding more northern, funnily enough.
Try to talk in a plain, lower voice, enunciate clearly.

i'm from cleveland, ohio. they say that the midwest accent is the most common an actor should have. so yeah, focus on "r" and vowels. our vowels make different sounds than yours, obviously. i know this video has been posted for a while, so this advice is a bit late, but better late than never :) hope everything worked out well for you!
allicat0330 2 years ago

Sorry dude, that was really horrible. It sounded almost Canadian-Irish. One thing I did notice is that if you fixed the way you pronounced your a's, you'd be much better at the accent.
For example, the name "David." When you pronounce it, it sounds more like "DEE vid." If you could manipulate your voice to make it sound more like "DAY vid, your accent would sound much better.
mickeymouse12678 2 years ago
The most common: the west. Really flat a's, highly pronounced r's and our o's are not rounded. Probably the most boring and unattractive accent you can imagine. Not too interesting...

I live in Texas, and not really many people have that hardcore western accent here in the cities. The only time you really run into that is when your in the small towns.

ok people from texas dont talk like that when i think texas i think mexicans and maybe some people whove moved down from up north?
try mimicking the southern accent
deatheater459 2 years ago
lol. I honestly wouldn't listen to all of the harsh comments others are saying. I bet they couldn't even do your accent.
I'm not a Texan, but 1 thing Americans do is pronounce 'T' like a 'd' so.. water = wahder. I can easily do the 'southern' accent, and like that 1 person said b4 me, pronounce your 'i's like 'a's so fire = faahheer. and sorry i know this is kinda late and all, but I thought I'd still give you a tip. lol.
feffi26175 2 years ago
I just don't get people saying oh it's 'awful'. The guy is trying so give him at least credit for that. I think it would be far more hilarious to watch a Texan tryin a British accent. bahahahaha

ZAPdontlook 2 years ago
Sorry man, but the Texan accent was pretty terrible. I am from Texas and though I don't have a Texan accent, I have had plenty of time to observe it. So here's what I've observed:
The days of the week like Monday Tuesday ... are pronounced "MUNDEE" "TUESDEE" and so on. Also, words with I in them like FIRE and MICHAEL are pronounced with more of an "A/AH" sound tha
