Italian Accent Tip of the Day - Amy Walker

[th3b3st]

You have to go all the way. Oh, I would.

[Draggie85ify]

Sounds like Russian to me... the few Italian words were pronounced with an American accent - unfortunately there is more to Italian than the double consonants! - but keep trying! 

[Draggie85ify]

Sounds like Russian to me... BTW your Italian is not so good either but keep trying!

[BuckshotBill118]

Do I have to put my juice into it? Sounds gross...

[TheVM85]

How about some Portuguese (from Portugal) accent? :)

[animefanaticgirl1]

PASTAAAAAAAAAA! I DEMAND a German accent. XD

[axelsonlypuppy101]

@animefanaticgirl1 He hehe Loves to the hetalia Fan!!

[animefanaticgirl1]

@axelsonlypuppy101 *highfives*

[AFXRoadster]

Italian,I think,is the best accent for expressing love...or flirting...its so sexy.!!!!!

[capriccio0711]

what the hell. hahaha.

[BoDuke1231]

"Go all the way with Italiano"

Me Thinking: Hmm, wonder if Italian women go all the way too. Time to hit up Chatroulette.

[qwerty7573]

calmatevi tutti!!XD non si è allontanata molto da una persona italiana che ha appena iniziato a parlare inglese cmq :P

[BackHandLegend]

Ho ascoltato alla mia professoressa d'italiano parlare, e non ha un accento come quello....e italiana. :|

BTW I'm not Italian.

[bnmjy]

No half way? All the way? Do you realize how sexual that sounds?

[vikulya78]

I don't want to argue with some of the 'Italian experts' here...I have not lived in Italy but have known a plethora of Italians and to me her accent sounds really close. I generally think she does a great job imitating most accents and I am a phonetician myself.

[azx100ful]

wow italian accent very beautiful

i like it so much its very clear word word , not mix words together like french

i am not italian

[fabriziocrazy]

IN ITALIAN: TI SCOPEREI A SANGUE!!!!

[aLou280]

[CancerusAQW]

You look like Sofia Sartor :O

[stormbelt]

Ma quale accento spagnolo del cavolo? Parla con l'accento tipico degli italo-americani

[ehila22]

sei davvero bella amy...

[ShawnsterVideos]

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear a word of it without seeing your Italian hand gestures.

[MarcoItalia92]

This is the spanish accent, not the italian one

[Cthulhuized]

niente male ù.ù try to say this XD LOL



[Sneg8]

Here more interesting Italian words: adagio, allegro, bravura, chiaroscuro:)

[TheStar2bella]

A fake accent is never completely convincing to the native speaker. But I consider an accent good if you can convince the rest of the world. I'm not Italian and this sounds fine to me. Italians would probably believe her American accent. None of her accents (besides the native one) is going to be perfect but I think they are all pretty good. I'd like to see all the naysayers to do as many accents as Amy Walker can.

[luigioanchelulu]

that's spanish!

[NightBeaglezz]

Speak louder ans USE HAND GESTURES!!!

[OfficialDJSpaangam]

italiano non italiiiano -.-

[JigokuKuroyuuki]

We pronunce both consonants in 'pizza' or 'bruschetta' because those words HAVE two consonants, that's your mistake!

I'm Italian but I think I don't speak like that in English - I hope: this speech is like Mario Bros, most of Italian people are not a plump plumber!!!

[TuVoFaLAmericanu]

@thashnetter I'm Italian too and let me tell you that as american (as american it's important remember that she is american) she have a really good Italian accent! O.o sure the word "Bella" refers only about girls...maybe she didn't know it xD so...it doesn't matter, for me she have an amazing italian accent U.U

[therealTOTOfan]

wait i can handle this... babeedeeboopi?! boobeedeebeebeeboopobaabee!!

[Xtremeleesour]

@therealTOTOfan HA HA YOU SAID BOOBEE!

[capriccio0711]

@therealTOTOfan 

[Aar0nDavis]

@therealTOTOfan Yes Peter Griffin, we know your Italian is fake, so you don't really need to try to speak it that way. lol j/k

Just so you know @therealTOTOfan Peter's speech in the Peter speaking Italian video is fake, so I wouldn't recommend going around saying it, because no one will understand what you're saying.

[ThreeLions89]

Italians are outrageous when it comes to learning languages... and this beautiful lady makes it clear :)

[NicoleAndBandit]

This lady is creepy! She's really good though. Lol

[iaietta22]

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!

I'm Italian. This is just a bad imitation of a Naples accent - which differs quite a lot from any other... Moreover, there is no Italian who would say "Ciao bella" - ridiculous common place!

[ninjanarr]

As an Italian, I think her pronunciation is perfect! Great job!

[EST0PA]

Like in every large country Italian accents vary from area to area. Amy is doing the dramatized accent used mostly in theater and tv. People that get angry at this are being silly.

[PinkyPan12]

Oh my god you people just SHUT UP. So what if it isnt' spot on? Jesus Christ, calm the fuck down.

[ThisHasBeenAlex]

ISSA ME MARIO

[QuiKsilVr01]

ASSASSINO! :D

[amysweet22]

Genius <3

[adeleisawesome123]

Can you do a indian accent, Amy?

[SoyoyoS]

this is racist insulting and shes so fucking annoying!!!

[luislabilles]

damn you italians take your language seriously. like no offense but i thought it was pretty good. i mean i don't think she's trying to perfect an accent, just make it believable and whether you italians like it or not, it was for most people. honestly, the only way you're going to get an accent right is if you were born speaking the language the accent comes from.

[3beerM]

Hey Amy, you`r very talented I wonder how it will sound if you speak Arabic.

[perzenaitre]

love it..but i think the accent is a little bit too heavy..italian accent is more soft..like a flow..

[GiraffadistrAtta]

do you want to make believe that this bad Italian pronunciation is really actually spoken in Italy?!! YOUR BAD PRONUNCIATION doesn't resemble AT ALL to the true language that speak in Italy from south to north!!!

you have evidently learned that few and bad Italian that you talk to italoamerican or to American movies with Italian-Americans...!!

you speak Italian with the accent of an Italian American... CERTAINLY NOT A TRUE ITALIAN!!

[trashsetter]

@FairyWolfAndDuckling I know, I was just criticizing the cliché below the choice of the words ;) I just wish people had enough imagination to think of other phrases than "pizza" for Italian, "escargots" for French or "madre de Dios" for Spanish. I may have gotten a little too touchy about the subject, but it hurts me to be labelled as a "loud, passional pasta-eater" just because I was born in Italy or just because my mother tongue is a Latin-based language. I meant no offence to anybody.

[kelly2353]

i'd like to hear her take on ebonics

[hishamlov]

so, How you spell Antonio Margretii ?

[1hanzus]

whatever you say BOBBEH

[FrancyLawliet]

PppruschEtta? Oh really?

[EthanCole15]

I showed my nonna this,she laughed and said "stupida americana" my family is from Piemonte and we have strong accents but nothing like this.

[YoTeezy]

@EthanCole15 hah hay at lst she trys..i can never do wht she is doing..shes great not badd..

[villegnocco]

I'm italian and I love you Amy!! A big kiss from Italy!!

[EclipseNelCuore]

per chi mi capisce: penso che Amy abbia un grande talento nell'imitare i vari accenti del mondo ma noi, in Italia, non parliamo esattamente così... è vero, noi pronunciamo tutte le consonanti ( doppie o no ) ma il nostro vocabolario non è formato solo da "pizza" o "bella" o , peggio ancora "bruschetta" O.o

[draugur25]

@EclipseNelCuore ma nn è quello il principio, il fatto è che quando parliamo in inglese parliamo con l'accento italiano e si nota tutto qui, è giusto un imitazione del nostro accento =) quando imita il russo è spettacolare parlano davvero cosi!

[musicherrima]

@EclipseNelCuore quanto hai ragione!

[trashsetter]

I'm Italian, and every time I listen to English people trying to imitate the Italian accent, I always get the feeling that they don't really pick up the difference between Spanish and Italian... Amy's accent is very "Latino" (if you get what I mean), but doesn't quite sound Italian. Don't imitate a foreign accent if you don't master the language. Stick to what you know. And btw: we don't say "Ciao bella" and "pizza" all the time. Enough with that!

[FairyWolfAndDuckling]

@trashsetter No one said to say "Ciao bella" or "pizza" all the time. If it counts, it's barely used in the video. ;)

[GhilliedUp]

@trashsetter Get over yourself, she's awesome.

[GiraffadistrAtta]

@trashsetter ...precisely because she believes to give credibility to her false imitation of an accent. (but a true Italian understands it immediately.. and laughs!) 2

[manof1kvoices]

@trashsetter sono Spagnolo, ho vissuto a Firence per due anni e questo accento si assomiglia piu all Spagnolo che all'italiano!...

[theblondebiatch]

@trashsetter i don't think it's anything like latino.that's bullshit.

[NotTheOrleansMaid]

@trashsetter

She does it beautifully and would totally pass if speaking to natives. You natives always get so angry when non-natives nail your accent. What the fuck is your problem? Stop being irrational and whining like a little bitch because non-Italians can imitate you.

[starwarsfreak1111]

@trashsetter Ciao bella trashsetter. we go for pizza sometime, eh?

[Cthulhuized]

@trashsetter però ha detto bene PIZZA e bruschetta e non PISA e BRUSCETA XD LOL



[SarahJoyL]

@trashsetter stima per te!

[jpmetroidkiller96]

@trashsetter What? This doesn't sound Latino.

[90210beauty]

@trashsetter stop being so sensitive. it's not that serious

[MayChild8]

@trashsetter Sure they can, actors do that all the time

[rjworks13]

@trashsetter Awe... don't ruin it for me, I like the idea that you guys say "Ciao" all the time - makes you so much more cool and interesting!

[ChristopherDone]

@trashsetter I'm not Italian but have lived in Italy for some years and I thought the same, it's quite blatantly not a decent Italian accent, I doubt she's spent much time here. She misses out on the urge to end words with a vowel, the intonation has a cold even eastern European tone, not a warm bouncy Italian feel, her 'e' in bruschetta sounds like è rather than e, and the u sounded like an 'o' I didn't get what she said at first. Never heard anyone say ciao bella, and not many speak H in have.

[joel5623333]

IM itlian american but i have an english accent is that wierd?

[KureijiMuzik]

i am full dutch i will post viids on it

[garply101]

Sounds like a parody of English spoken with an Italian accent.

[Copyrightbreaker22]

can you do a Jamaican and Dutch accent?

[Beauty4Aspies]

Si, si, mi agrego, e molto importante per sentire tutte le parole quando stai parlando Italiano.

[HeloPro1]

Im looking at these videos because Godfather had changed me

[flyleaf5433]

Italian accent is the best in the world!

[Handoooooo]

si j'aurais une institutrice aussi belle et charmante comme celle-la...!!? j'apprend toute les langues, le cambodgien, le thailandais, le tombouctou...

[25rais]

Very good...:)

[Voiderify]

so, when trying to do this... imagine a long that's what she said joke all the way through

[Dusseldorfer]

We really speak in this way? :D

[pixiepirates101]

omg! thanks for posting this! i have to do an italian accent in a musical and had to idea what to do untill i saw this video :)

[EpicJacopo]

I would marry your tongue.. I'm italian and i'm a pizza maker!

[weneedtodosomething]

i want to marry her

[HaruTheGyaru]

sounds kinda russian...

[Bouncer9000]

That was simply amazing, however, you'll have to beat Aldo Raine's Italian. He's the best, you know.

[Snustad]

u are so pretty, but this is just a fake italian accent, like english people tryng to imitate italian accent, as you are. bye from italy.

[PleaseDrinkMeAlice]

aaall the way...

xDD

[ClassOfGraduates]

I got an impromptu placement in an Italian role for a play at my friend's church and my Italian accent is about like super Mario. So I immediately go looking for assistance, and I get this! Thank you for giving real rips on how to do this accent because I got called to the role less than a week before the play! The other actor bailed! Thanks a lot!!!!

[officelover21]

I disagree with all the comments that say learning how to speak a english with a native accent is pointless because it is extremely useful for acting and impov techniques! Thanks!

[ChannelLadyGagaVIP]

That's like an african who wants to sell you fake gucci, fendi or armani..

[Setjo91]

HI, i'm italian and I have some questions:

How is useless to learn to speak english with italian accent?

Why do you not teach the real italian languadge?

Do you know there are a lot of italian accents, depending from italian regions?

I'm a "rompicoglioni", learn this!!!

[WhyckieQueenie]

@Setjo91 ahahaah" rompicoglioni" , glelo potevi dire in inglese " 'I'm a person who breaks the balls" :D...

anyway..., it is totally useless learn english with a native accent!

[WhyckieQueenie]

@Setjo91 ps: there are a lot of american accents, and UK accent too :)

[Setjo91]

@WhyckieQueenie great, now i can relearn to speak italian with all USA and UK accents,

IT'S SO COOOOOL!!!

[SteauaBucuresti]

When you speak Italian. You really have to feel the passion in the language. Italian is not like American, you speak it daily regular basis without feeling. Italian is passion. And without passion you don´t exists. Ciao

[Setjo91]

@SteauaBucuresti ahahah, ma non starai esagerando? XD

[purealba01]

@SteauaBucuresti I feel that to be such a stereotypical view of Italian.. It doesn't matter where you come from, everyone has their own preference when it comes to daily speech.. I lived in Italy shortly and people there constantly chopped up their phrases and where often in a rush to get their point across (Although I'm sure being in Rome definitely played a part in that aspect).. Besides, for me, every language is a language of passion =)

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

@SteauaBucuresti American is not a language

[paapercrane]

@SteauaBucuresti I think you mean English...'American' is not a language, sorry.

[aliancemd]

@SteauaBucuresti bulls**t. I know Italian and it's the same sh*t, lol...

[MrRunescapeforthewin]

@SteauaBucuresti Hey arrogant bastard. without the US you coudlnt have youtube.

[dengrad]

Thumbs up if you like the boondock saints accent.

[1821aftershock]

@dengrad oh hell yeah thumbs up for the boondock saints.

[Lienaked]

i'm italian and this girl OBVIOUSLY hasn't the correct italian accent, it just makes me laugh, that's ridiculous!

[nerobibi]

@Lienaked

gimme a break!! this italian accent is not perfect but quite similar...c'mon dont be so picky!!

[Lienaked]

@nerobibi right, but is this video supposed to be instructive? it is not in my opinion ;)

[MrDominiquezhang]

Generalization is not right, but sure she sounds like my Italian friends,

Personally, I think those Romance accented English varieties are very sexy.

They all have very intense vowels and sexy they are..

[eternalssunshine]

woah you and the youtube makeup guru "manwomanfilm" look alike ..

[90210kira1]

This is sound so ridiculous to me. I am Italian and i promise you I don't speak like that.

[TheRaychild]

@90210kira1 You live in italy?

[Ariam89NY]

Perfetta! :D xoxo from Italy!

[zioMav89]

SPOSAMI

[XChiaraxx]

OMG do we really sound this way? I mean, I know I don't but this is really creepy O_o

[gassanrzh]

poison ivy?

[zioMav89]

I think i must marry her quite now



[warpig501]

that's logic, english is not our language. How do you think an english people generally speak italian?... very bad, it souds ridiculous, like we listen in this video

[scagliusipasqualino]

Bruscheeeeeeeeeeeeeta, beeeeeeeeeeeela, Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizza..­.........now I understand why my guests speaks English as the Soprano's

[CelticEledhwen]

pizza,bruschetta,bella ...this video is quite scary D:

[matt16001]

[FootballJudgey94]

[kimy60688]

@FootballJudgey94 if ur a guy:french for a girl:french

[z0rr0rr0r]

E na cagata sia in italian che in ingelese :D

[nekosama23]

"all the waaaaaaay"

[ChannelLadyGagaVIP]

Yes.. That's right.. But when I speak english i don't have that accent, I try to have an english accent.

[Mimilauzer]

you have to know that italians don't pronounce the H letter....

they would say (H)ello.

[NancySJane]

oh Gosh i'm italian but i don't have this strong accent! xD

anyway, it's pretty cool and she's lovely.. :DD

[Dubailove1980]

@NancySJane she 's using the south italian accent because north of italy don't have that kind of accent...

[NancySJane]

@Dubailove1980 different people have different accent... my parents are sicilian (south of Italy) and i was born in Rome and i really don't have this accent!... i heard so many italians (who live in the north) having this "terrible" strong accent! xD... is not about coming from the South or the North of Italy ;)))

[nafism6969]

lol oh man, i just love Italy and italian culture for some reason. any italian chicks wanna hook up with me ? :P

[iEatCakeWithASpoon20]

Thumbs up if you played assassins creed and now your interested in all things Italian!

[TehRealRaGe]

@iEatCakeWithASpoon20 omg im trying to make a scar like ezios! haha

[bamsgirl12345]

[hopecarter459]

[legsandshoes]

[zenivieva]

i write a story and my character is Italian un >:D

[maajkaa80]

She only sounds Italian in a few bits...some words sound russian to me! I love her though! She is great! :)

[dariodrz]

bah mah, what's this

[mindtoonz262]

it turned me one

[KodWolf]

lmao my juice??

[SKRsoul]

OMG I've been struggling to do an Italian accent, and this has helped so much.

[zazzolina]

@VessielGavar beh il mio commento iniziale era di informazione ... e fidati che per quanto riguarda gli stati uniti un po' di informazione anche casuale sulle cose fa sempre bene. Se poi mi rispondi con "beh ma lo fa bene", ti rispondo che non sono proprio d'accordo, e sono abituata ad argomentare le mie opinioni. Purtroppo utube me le fa segmentare in 3 messaggi. Cmq se una di mestiere fa l'attrice e gli accenti almeno falli decentemente, io la penso così.

[zazzolina]

@VessielGavar and... the crap about "FEELING EVERY CONSONANT EVERY VOWEL" ... we don't have any orgasm while we speak...and we don't sing opera when we talk, we just speak our language which is based on syllables, while english is a language based on a phonetic unit of measurement called FOOT... so they have a different "rhythm". But ... yes Pizza Pasta and Berlusconi. He fucks on the table.

[zazzolina]

@VessielGavar Plus, quando dice in ita si pronuncia tutto come "pizza"... l'accento che fa in realtà è l'allungamento della vocale I la pronuncia dei due fonemi corrispondenti alle due Z rimane invariata rispetto al primo esempio che fa. She pronounces the sentence "my name is amy wokker" in the american way... an italian speaking english would say "WOLKERRR" pronouncing the L and emphasizing the final RR ... so actually it's not even really well done...

[zazzolina]

@VessielGavar Sì ok lo fa bene, ma io ho subito le ingiurie di mezzo mondo, dalla barzelletta i wanna fuck on the table and a shit on my bed... bla bla... al grido di "aaah from italy... so... Berlusconi and i wanna fuck on the table" quando io in inglese non ho quell'accento mostruoso, e vivendo all'estero con persone del sud italia mi sono resa che invece molti di loro trasportano la loro cadenza pari sull'inglese... cerchiamo di fare informazione... WE DO NOT ALL SPEAK LIKE THAT -.-'

[fatafiore]

piiiiiizza LOL

[NanyRm]

She pronounces Pizza and Bruschetta in a way that make me feel ready for a suicide, but she's right: we pronounce EVERY single letter, no matter how long it is...:) :)

[ilikebigbutts2295]

I learned the Italian accent from playing too many Mario games as a kid.

[Savateboy]

we love you amy walker

[zazzolina]

Sorry to tell that the stereotyped italian accent in english is based on speakers emigrated from the southern Italy .... mostly from Naples ... if u pick an italian coming from somewhere else, he will have of course an accent but it won't be this accent. The italian language and accents really change through all Italy.
