  • Women who talk with the Mississippi and Alabama accents are sooooo adorable!

  • You sound like a old 1970s TV actress on the Titanic or something lol

  • Lived in the south for most of my life and nobody has this "I do declair" accent. This is laziness because all she had to do is a maybe five minuites of online research on southern accents and she could have got it right.

  • @TINAPH80 She's an expert on accents. She said in this video that it's an old accent and you will only find it in a few places.

  • At least she pronounced Mississippi like a true Mississippian. :D

  • I think she's trying to imitate and teach the stereotypical accent more than the actual accent.

  • She already mentioned that this is an old accent, and isn't widely use. So i don't get why so many people are hating at her and saying it's an old accent and not used when she already said the same thing in the video...

  • Comment removed

  • Come to East Texas where you'll find a REAL southern accent. I've lived in Texas all my life and never heard anyone talk like this. This is a television southern accent.

  • ...she's got this one all wrong, no offense

  • Stupid Biaych.

  • VERY few people still talk this way. The only real person I've ever heard sound anything like this was Shelby Foote.

  • i wanna fuck her baddddd!

  • @edwardthomas888 You felt the need to type this? I see money can buy a computer and keyboard...but not class.

  • she is very good at all the others but........ she dont have this one. here in northern florida/southern alabama its not like that. thats old south or something. and it sure in hell isnt taxan. but good shot at it and damn good with all the rest.

  • It's obvious this chick is not a natvie speaker. Her accent is fake and nowhere near authentic. The accent she is trying to mimic here is pretty much extinct in the south today, except for some old timers in Georgia and the Carolinas. Most people in the south today have more of a twang and we DO pronounce our R's. Most people speak with the Appalachian accent rather than the old Antebellum one.

  • this chick like the sound of her name

  • Omg know one in the south anywhere talks like they're from gone with the wind...NO ONE!!!

  • Horrible.

  • I'm from the south, the "deep" coastal south. Literally nobody sounds like that.

  • this woman creeps me out like no other :s

  • she sounds like shes from SAVANNAH!

  • Everyone remember now Deep South "Haaang" ...Im sure black people wont forget

  • No. No. No. You sound like a cartoon.

  • Yeah that's pretty close but the one I hear is a bit more exentuated. Honestly that is the ONE accent u absolutely cannot STAND.

  • FYI, the only people in the south that still have THAT type of southern accent (deep south), they all live in or near Savannah, Georgia.

  • @YungBrownski Actually its a french mixed with southern

  • You sound black... Have you ever been to the south? I've lived here my entire life, and I don't know a single white person who speaks like that. Your accent is a weird mix of the completely non-existent Gone with the Wind accent and southern black ebonics. Seriously...

  • Want some Southern fried chicken with that?

  • and then there's TN. man the accents down here....

  • My best friends dad talks like this lol

    Southern accents are very alive in Texas

  • just found my dream girl

  • i will fuck this bitch

  • Okay......Creepy smile at the end, I was afraid she was gonna jump out my computer screen and eat me. LoL

  • wow exactly the same accento of italian and south usa very good

  • She is faking it. That crap falling out of her face sounded like something she picked up on television.

  • Slap ma thigh if that ain't the darndest thing ah ehver did seee!

  • Its like gun in barrel...only with grenade.../russian accent.

  • I could listen to this accent all day.

  • I don't think I sound like this do I?

  • @iamthehellokitty No need to be rude, but the accent is influenced by blacks but this is how people in Louisiana sound mostly southern gentlemen types.

  • She is so cool!

  • I'm from Alabama. No one actually speaks like that non-rhotic Gone With the Wind Hollywood movie accent here. Some (generally very old) people have accents which are slightly similar to this in certain parts of Georgia, Alabama, Coastal South Carolina, and Louisiana though. I love the videos though, Amy, and I'd invite you to come down to the South to hear all the regional dialects we have to offer. We're not all that bad. Well, some of us aren't anyway.

  • You sound like a black woman.

  • That's kind of generic "Hollywood Southern". There's actually quite a few distinct accents in the South. If you read the prologue to Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain identified hundreds of distinct accents and dialects just along the Mississippi. Of course with television with its standardized mid-western accent and migration from the North to the South, many accents are dying off.

  • Er... You're either gonna hear this accent in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, or Downtown Historic Charleston SC ._.

  • Not to offend anyone, but do black people have a special accent in US? I mean, when I watch the movies or shows I notice that black people have a different way of talking, they talk like if they were singing, they pronounce longer. And this accent actually sounded to me exactly like that "black people's accent".

  • @Sharukkin It depends on where you grow up. Sometimes black/white people sound exactly the same.

  • @Sharukkin Blacks used to sound like this about a generation ago. My grandparents sound like they are singing. IDK exactly where it came from.

  • @oh770 Yeah, and the interesting thing is that, as far as I've noticed, it can be blacks from different states in US, but they have the same, I wouldn't say accent, it's more like tone of speaking. Singing as you said. I don't get it too. So the younger generation doesn't have it anymore?

  • @Sharukkin Well, there is a certain group of people that speak a variation of the "singing" voice. But I don't speak like that and I am an African American in the south and no one in my family other than my grandparents speak that way. It also, in my opinion has to do with social status as well. There are exceptions, but it seems the higher someone is in social status, the more they lose that sound. That goes with any race though. Poor vs. Not Poor is what it really comes down to.

  • @oh770 So it's like the more rich/civilized one becomes the less he wants to show his accent and demonstrate his affiliation to certain group of people? So for example in Texas, farmers will tend to have a strong accent, while let's say businessmen not? Yeah it makes sense.

  • @Sharukkin Also, I don't think the accent is what defines the person's social status. It's just the grammar that separates the educated from the non educated.

  • Yeah, this is the WORST Southern accent I've ever heard... I live by the Gulf Coast in Louisiana, and we have more of a Cajun french-southern accent. so instead of "these" and "those", it's "DEES", and "DOZE" INSTEAD OF "HEY YOU" it sounds like "HAY SHA U GIT OVER HERE!"

  • 910 из луизианы

  • I don't care what other said... I got horny with that "... mmmmmm,mm honey"!

  • reminds me of vampire bill.

  • Only the REALLY old people (and not all of them) talk like this. And ONLY in Georgia. If you really want to here a southern accent, just watch some Billy Ray videos. Haha.

  • LOUISIANA 225!

  • I`ve been lucky to learn british english instead of this shit! She`s good tough.

  • Not bad, she does it rather well actually, you can get people speaking this way in some parts of Texas as well.

  • She sounds like Constance from American Horror Story

  • this sounds like the charleston accent from old movies.

    and as a new orleanian, ain't nobody lettin' anything haaaaaaang like that 'round these here parts anymore, darlin'.

    lord.

  • From Alabama. I am so embarrassed for her! Most southern people use a pretty hard "r" these days. I have heard a few old people, from even older money, that drop their r's and it sounds soft and graceful. This chic sounds drunk... that would be my excuse!

  • dumb bitch doesnt know how to talk southern

  • I think she's mixing elements of three different Southron accents, over a Northern substrate, actually.

  • no

  • no. just.. no.. we don't talk like that in the deep south...

  • She is insane.

  • You'll seriously only find this accent on very old people or in movies. Trust me, I'm a qualified Georgian.

  • true blood :p

  • mmmm Colonel Angus (deep southern accent) <3

  • giv me sum muunshine!

  • South Carolina has it alot

  • omg who speaks like this?! No one. this is exaggerated antebellum acting accent. Very....very few people actually speak this way. Now, she did say Louisiana correctly that's it.

  • @goula2005 Some black people speak like this in texas. I would know, i'm from texas

  • @brobot99 I'm from mississippi...never really heard it here.

  • Wow your really good.

  • ooh now do the swedish chef!

  • or redneck accent...

  • this is an old accent Louisiana mainly but it was influenced by black people , no racism implied !!

  • @MyArchie17 Racism nevertheless evident! The meter, treatment of liquid consonants, and "drawl" of this particular dialect arrive directly from the influence of the French language in former French colonies, and its eventual interaction with the Received Pronunciation dialect of the upper-class British colonials who ended up owning most of the land there. So...about as white as you can get without clown makeup, really!

  • @TheDAEdison Spot ON!!

  • @MyArchie17 WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN THINK WHAT YOU SAID WAS "RACIST?" WHAT A WORLD OF PUSSIES WE ARE BECOMING....JOHNNY HAS 2 DADDYS ETC. RACISM IS WHEN YOU DISPARAGE A RACE FOR SOME CHARACTERISTIC OR PERCEIVED CHARACTERISTIC.

  • @MyArchie17 ; the Southern drawl is often assumed to be from black influence, but this is certainly untrue. Many Louisiana folks have had a lot of black influence, true; but in general, the Southern drawl came about because of the Scots.

    Originally, the white people who settled the south ( excluding LA ) were from Scotland. Over time the accent changed into what is now thought of as the "Southern drawl."

    "Southern" = a particular culture.

    "southern" = a geographical location.

    continuing....

  • @MyArchie17 ;.......... Every southern state ( as with any state ) has its own way of speaking. Even within each state there are differences.

    I am from rural Georgia originally, but was reared on the outskirts of a city ( Stone Mountain, GA.)

    I remember growing-up many people from outside of Ga would come for a visit in my area and had no idea what the locals were saying; yet, in Stone Mountain ( 20 miles E of ATL) many people speak in a way that is more easier to understand by outsiders.

  • @MyArchie17 ; Oh, and forget my bad grammar...I had Alabama on the brain for a brief moment.

  • @MyArchie17 ; :-D!!!!!!!

  • I live in TN but have travled all through the south and Nobody i mean NOBODY talks like this!

  • @lparrish925 Hence the reason she states this is an "old" accent.. But you "might" still find it in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana etc..

  • @lparrish925 I'm from New Jersey and I've been throughout the south and yes there are people who talk like this.

  • @lparrish925 Yeah, I live in Alabama, same thing. Never met a single person in all my travels all over the South who does.

  • I think she's awesome! You go, girl! (PS -- your SoCal accent in one of your other videos was right on, too -- take it from a Californian!)

  • You said Louisiana right. I'm now a fan.

  • She wants me...

  • @WujuStyleBlademaster i very rarely have a REAL LOL-MOMENT when i'm alone on my laptop.. but you just made me laugh with that comment

  • @WujuStyleBlademaster yes yes she does hmmmmm yeah she does

  • I live in alabama. I've met like 3 people who talk like this. One of which grew up in Louisiana. Therefore, at least in central Alabama, this accent is NOT found here. cx

  • Lol I live in Georgia so this is funny... I have no southern accent whatsoever

  • hey look at that, i can see the municipal building, Columbia tower and looks like you're just above downtown, maybe a little closer to the international district. I love seattle, my fav city by a long shot

  • mmmmmmm mmmmm!

  • u sound HIGH

  • Basically, ANYONE can have a southern accent, all you have to do is throw out any and all grammar lessons you have ever had. I am from Texas (ugh) and I have worked hard to keep the idiot out of my voice.

  • @SicotheClown you are a disgrace to the lone star state get out of my state you damn yankee wanna be

  • @corndawg15

    As soon as I get the cash to move I am gone, the ONLY thing I like about TX is the lax gun laws.

  • ill tell you all right now "y'all" is a major southern word.

  • @IloveSPIDERZ Indeed it is.

  • Everybody say laaaaammmme!

  • As a Southerner I can with authority say, this is not a Southern accent. It is more akin to the bastardization of the Southern accent concocted by Hollywood. At least she didn't black out one of her front teeth.

  • @3asal1

    It's an older accent as she said in the beginning of the video. She did exaggerate the accent with a few of her words, but overall it was relatively accurate. You'd have to travel to certain parts of Louisiana and Mississippi to hear it these days though. And even then, you would have to talk to the older generations to really hear it.

  • Comment removed

  • I live in Alabama, and this chick makes me wanna shoot her in the face . . .

  • Jason Stackhouse!! =P

  • I live close to the Louisiana border... I WISH people talked like this but they don't.

  • @lovelyaley She said its an old accent that you might still find in...

  • @lovelyaley I have lived in Louisiana my who life and nope, they don't.

  • @lovelyaley I'm around it everyday, and Im in Georgia(:

  • @iconicfever1997 maybe I need to come to Georgia then!

  • @lovelyaley

    That's because you're on the wrong side of Alabama.

  • This is ebonics...

  • I have a strong Southern accent! :)

  • Im Russian, no worries

  • hahahahah oko mmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmm

  • This is more old southern accent, because it still uses proper sentence structure and such, I'd say around the civil-war late 1800's, coming from the south I can tell you the speech is very broken and informal compared to whats represented here.

  • MMM hmmm!

  • I always wonder what she actually sounds like..

  • Haha I live in Louisiana that's how it sounds.

  • WTF IS HER REAL ACCENT?!

  • @TheDomtar She is from Seattle

  • You sound amazing, I wish I could speak like that it sounds so sophisticated and awesome (: thank you , ive been replaying it over and over (:

  • ewww

  • people still talk like this in the south? Never heard it and i've lived here all my life.. all i here is "HEY Y'ALL HOW Y'ALL DURIN?"

  • hmmm dont that feel good.my reaction: boner

  • that is a southern accent i know many old black women in georgia who talk like that

  • I have a teacher that has this accent...

  • Can you please do more, your amazing!! Can you do Irish, Spanish, Scottish, Chinese, German, Indian pleeeeeeaaaaaase!!! And if you do please tell me!!!!

  • This sounds soooooooo much like Jessica Lange on American Horror Story!

  • Everyone who listen to someone who's trying to do the accent they speak, hopes that this person do exactly their accents. But peple, that's not possible, every person has an accent, she can't do them all. She just take the most significant characteristics and try to do it the way it uses to sound like. She's not trying to imitate YOU, but a whole accent.

  • I'm from Alabama and yes. in southern Alabama some people do talk like that but that accent would more commonly be found in Mississippi or Louisiana. it comes from the french language and was brought to the south by the french colonists between 1400 and around 1800 and is a modified version of the french language.

  • Yes, she does indeed sound like native Atlantans. But Atlantans don't speak *that* slowly unless they've had a couple of drinks.

  • She's so hot...imagine all of her accents in bed. lol

  • Lol.. Is a cute accent and sounds playful for me xD

  • MMMmmmm~~ ^^

  • this reminds me of forrest gump.

  • @brandbestawesome just as Pam in The Office did it

  • Probably one of the most beautifu; accents here in america.

  • Looks like she was stoned in this one.

  • Lifelong Southern here. That is definitely an older upper class southern accent, one where you can tell that the woman probably had African American "nannies" that took care of her.

  • Ahaha it's amazing! It's exactly the same XD

  • I never knew a southern accent could be so sexy :/

  • uhm amy your other accents sound quite allright, but not this, it just feels like you're trying too much on this one, and presumably you being british, you can't get that right :P btw, no irish accent?

  • @rohanb2711 havn't you ever heard of Southern Belles? :U

  • @rohanb2711

    the redneck one isnt

  • SHE EVEN EXPLAINS IT!!! PAY ATTENTION THIS IS AN ARISTICRATIC SOUTHERN ACCENT. My Aunt Jenny almost talked like this. My Grandmother from NC almost had that but more "typical southern". SHE SAID IT IS THE NON ROTIC MEANING NO R AT END PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE. Some Brits, some new yorkers do it..its a regional thing. I like to learn these things. If you see a movie and people are modern poor southerners and they talk like this, it is probably wrong.

  • My great great grandmother talks like this. She's like 95 :P

  • she has a great accent but she just annoys me....

  • I'm from Oklahoma and my neighbor is originally from Alabama and her accent sounds exactly like this. She's 24 years old and a hot piece of fucking ass.

  • @Deejeezy405 hahahahahaha!!!!! lovely

  • Andi McDowell, is that you? Speak to me!

  • Tht was the worst fake accent ever

  • @Taybug61 Like you would knoooow.

  • hi forrest gump?

  • i love this accent the best, its a shame its dying out though

  • How do you do all these accents! Its freaking amazing, and hilarious. What do you really sound like though????

  • Yep, you make me happy.

  • I love her!!! Amazing..... I swear this sounds exactly like "Miss Bluesy St. John" from Grand Theft Auto IV

  • Comment removed

  • I had a maths teacher in elementary school who spoke almost exactly like this. She was from Savannah and was 82 in the early 90s. This is a very rare, old, and very snobby/rich accent that IS Southern -- most people seem to forget that the 'south' starts near/at the Mason-Dixon line and has many, MANY different accents, even throughout one state. Any remnants of it are nowhere near this heavy, and this rendition is very theatrical.

  • Louisianna...

  • I know a girl from Alabama named Amy Walker. She speaks just like this..haha

  • I live in Mississippi...that accent is dead, there's a much faster more mellowed out version of it spoken now.
