Damn.! I waz really lookin forward to hearin him try tah do mah accent.! I love hearin people try tah do an MA accent.! I was born in Brockton and it always reminds meh of home. . . <3
hey its alright, man...were a hard accent to do...even professional actors when the movies are set in boston, you can her multiple flaws in the accents and the r's....pronounce less r's an try to loosen up a little..the best movie in my opinion to practice off of is the departed..set in boston...they did a fairly good job in that...even when we try to get rid of our accents..its still fairly prominent..alright..merry christmas man!
and we don't sound like we have thumbs up our ass all the time lmao, want boston accent, have a look at my video, and we say Baston not Booston. lmfao.
Oh yeah! and a special shout out to a long lost Army Buddy, Michael Connell from Methuen, Mass. 4/15 inf. Regiment, (Mortar Platoon) Ft. Knox, KY. (1987) "Can Do!"
slight,specific modifications in accent and speaking mannerisms,transition from NY. to Boston or N.J etc, etc.. as far as the "British" thing, that was a generalization refering back to the early colonial days before America was actually a country. The referance being to the British settlers. Some Dutch and German, but by far mostly British. My British/Irish ancestors were a part of that history settling originally in N.Y / N.J. and I'm proud of that! Anyway, no offense intended.. My apologies.
Hey Michelle, take it easy, ok? I wasn't trying to offend you or anybody from the Boston, N.Y. or N.J. areas. I'm born and raised in California, however, during my 14 yr. military stint, it became my "wierd little hobby" to guess where in the country some of my "battle buddies" were from by their accents. A few of them were from precisely those areas. The most notable being from Brooklyn, NY. To my ear,(emphesis)a person speaking with an NYC accent or practicing the accent,could, with certain..
Good try! No worries about not being able to do it, most Americans can even do it - it's a tough one. As many have said in comments - watch The Departed or Good Will Hunting (Matt Damon/Ben Affleck are from Boston, their accents are the real deal). Kennedy isn't a good guideline, the Kennedys seem to have their own accident, one not used by anyone else I've ever heard.
I knew this was going to made of wrong as soon as I saw it. Funny though. Most Americans couldn't do a Boston accent to save their life (see every movie ever with Boston accents done by people from outside New England) so how could you be expected to. Not to mention that by trying to channel Kennedy you're already doomed to failure as I've never heard anyone outside the Kennedys talk like that.
Yes you can!! Boston, New Jersey and New York accent are almost the same, the exception,like you said, in Boston, you don't Park the car at Harvard Yard, "You Paak the Caar at Haarvid Yaard". And in new jersey not(new Joisey) everyone's a "tthoosh Baig" (douche bag). for a great example of a genuine Boston Accent, on you tube type in : "The Guy from Boston."
No, it's pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd. Bostonians don't pronounce the letter R. There is a very distinct difference between the New York, Boston and New Jersey accident. An example is, New York accent would be to say New Yowk, but in Boston it is said New Yahk. Where do you live?
sorry, boston and ny/nj are very different...in boston you drop r's...in new york i get the sense that people drop r's kinda freely and have more r's when they speak slowly/carefully. also like michelle5451 is right about the vowels. listen to how ny says 'caught' like co-wuht and 'cot' like caht but boston is (rather inconsistently, actually) like cawt for both...
uhh westie.... no body calls it that pal..and charlestown has changed-they all moved to Wilmington sold their houses for big bucks....marky mark is hollywood and his boston accent is butchered--this guys attempt is awful..marky mark makes a good go of it in the perfect storm though but Diane Lane cannot do the accent-it just can't be faked
hey i saw one of your videos and you seem to like family guy so just watch it and try to talk like peter. he has a boston accent. and lois has a good brooklyn accent.
LMAO Duncan. I live in Lynn Massachusetts, and I too, proudly, have a Boston accent. There is a difference between Mass accent and Boston. Some people in Mass dont have it, but the heavy accent is derived from Boston. I speak with it. All it is, is you silence the R in some cases, and you pronounce the O as an A, but not AY, but like AH. So oh my God, would be, oh my Gad. and, You are retahded. Just watch family guy a lot, for some reason Peter has a boston accet in Rhode Island lol try it again
LMAO funny video. I went to Boston once. I can't stand their accent. It drives me NUTZ every time I hear it. I think the letter "R" has ceased to exist in that city. Beautiful city though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm not from Boston, but let me tell, as an American it is a great insult that this English prick is even thinking about trying to sound like a Bostonian. Leave it to real Bostonians; they sound much better, believe me. Didn't we kick these Union Jack wearing fuckers ass not once, but twice about two hundred years ago?
none of yous know shit about boston accents kid, watch marky mark in the departed maybe, other than that go hit a local bar somewhere in southie, westie, rozzi, hyde park, dorchester, charlestown
I loved this....kind of because it's funny how you tried to do it..I've lived in Boston so I know how to do it, but it can be a hard one. I also love that you apologized for the Boston Tea Party.
I think it's odd that you are British and can't do a Boston accent. I'm from Boston, and the accent is so obviously derived from British/Irish dialects.
My father, who is from Cambridge (that's part of Boston), actually says "bottle" with glottal stop like the Cockney accent. Imagine that? Weahd.
Boston cut off parcels of land most cities would've kept. We have a term, "Greater Boston," covering this area of 3 million. Boston has only 600,000 people, mostly concentrated in a 10 sq.mi.out of 40sm total. Density! MSA/1 hour car radius is 7 mill. (Almanac 2007). Other cities boast pop., but they have nothing (Houston, e.g.) and the #'s are spread in to areas unrelated to the "city." "Boston" as a "concept" includes Cambridge, as one without the other would neither Boston nor Cambridge make!

It's not "pak tha ca" it's "pahk the cah" Also, all the stereotypes that we still care about the Tea Party, come on, man! I think that people who aren't from the Boston area need to fucking get over it! Leave us alone!EVERYWHERE in the world has it's own dialect, and Boston is no different. Why do we get singled out?
well, im from south boston, and well lol, when u say "mari[strong I]e! paaaack thaa caahh"! thats how u should say it, its irish mixed with some quenciquencal midwest, strong high A's and some of "aaahhs". if ur east/south u tend to have more of a higher voice then anywhere else in boston formal. :) hope this helps and btw, lol nice try, but u dont have to sound like an old lady lol

but its not stressed like you do it.. close but no cigah
is not paaack the caaair.. its pahk the car.. similar to how the english dont fully pronounce their r's.. you dont stress them like other americans. just a barely there
Where's it come from???? Ask yourself! We don't pronounces ah Ah's round hyah because it stuck from back when people had English accents... theah's a reason they call it New ENGLAND...we inherited your non-rhotic-ness :)
lmao.... that was funny but wow... im from north carolina and now i live here... and i have a boston accent now.. you just pick it up ;p its funny though.
