I'm a dialect coach. I own a dialect business Dialect911. I'd be happy to teach any of you the SAME London EAST END dialect that our little friend has. He's not an Aussie.
WOW. . . . I'm from Fairfax County, Virginia, USA and I know that who ever the actor is he is using a Cockney Accent. . . NOT AUSTRALIAN!!!!! Pay attention to detail, the little things like when he says, "Dear oh Dear". . . . Cockney!!!!!!!!
who the hell said austrailian?? he clearly has a proper cockney accent and its definitley not an aussie tryna put it on as the actor is only our dear max branning from eastenders!! lol...we love max!!
It is jake wood who plays max branning in eastenders he is lush n a legend! So is the gecko as it has his voice n his ginger hair. WE LUV MAX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol you have no idea . english say mate all the time, the reason theres a gecko in the advert is because it sounds a little bit like geico..think about it mate :D
Oh dear, if A) You knew your accents, and B) Bothered to look it up, you'd know the accent is cockney, and the actor who voices the gecko is Jake Wood - A British actor and comedian. And by the way the gecko in specific is a Madagascan Day Gecko, which ironically are native to Madagascar, not Australia.
My absolute favorite Commercials are those with the gecko lizard. He can make me laugh even when I feel sad. I won't even let my husband fast forward pass these commercials. I would pay to have a DVD of all his commercials. I just love him!
The target audience is Americans(and don't get me wrong, I'm not being funny)but many Americans who can't tell the difference between a cockney,pommy, Irish, Aussie accent. I love the accent of the Gecko as it is now, not because I think it's working class, I just think it's awesome.
Yeah, me too. I'm paraphrasing an ad executive: "We wanted a bloke you'd want to sit down and have a pint with." OK, he said "guy" in place of "bloke" and "beer" in place of "pint," but I couldn't help myself; British accents and slang is just too catchy! :D
Do you think you can upload the one where he's like "Some bloke just tells you to go to Geico.com, and you're like...and you would be? People trust advertising icons. Of course I'll watch your kids...you're like a brother to me."

I remember when the gecko's voice was Kelsy Grammer. I like it now, but I wonder why they changed it?
ksb78 4 years ago
Actually it's because they thought that a working-class accent would be more relatable and endearing to their target demographic.
