My response to funsizedchoco who tagged me to do a video talking about my atheism, and to theharrylumb, whoc challenged me to do an american accent on camera (which is, upon watching the footage, terrible).

  • Wait, isn't British a term used to describe EVERYONE living in the United Kingdom? Regardless if they live in England, Scottland, Wales, or Northern Ireland? If so, then technically wouldn't any accent from those countries be considered one type of a British accent?

    Anyway, your American accent was good!

  • @NiWiPe36 Absolutely. A Scottish accent is a British, as is a Welsh one. The problem arises when people think that ONLY an English accent is a British accent... that an English accent and a British accent are the same thing.

    PS - A Northern Irish accent is not a British accent. Northern Ireland is in the United Kingdom, but not Britain, as Great Britain is the island containing England, Scotland and Wales, and no part of Ireland is part of Great Britain.

  • It's very good. But non-rhotic, by that I mean it's your "r"s that give away your british accent.

  • Ahhh I'll have to work on them. Whats wrong with them anyways? Do I not pronounce them correctly? Do I pronounce them at all?

  • One serious question. Does the American (Hollywood) accent sound as cute to British women as the British accent sounds to American women. If so, I know where to take my next vacation. I am coming for your women!

  • I have no idea, so you'd have to ask them. But I would have thought so. Generally I would assume that any accent other than the one the hear all the time would be appealing. So go for it.

  • That was actually a quite good New England accent. I was expecting a southern accent, which would have been horrible.

  • Is it just me or do you pronounce Atheism as Theism? Am I just not hearing an A?

  • @LatumWay And I think the reason why more people mean an English accent when they say British is because that is the most exposed, or most commonly heard of accent on TV, for the US at least, and so in turn they think of that one more often.

    Oh, and it's REALLY hard for Americans to immitate a Scottish accent, just because of how different it is pronounced from American accents, you know?

  • @LatumWay Yes, most Americans don't know what the difference is between England and Great Britian and the United Kingdom is. (I'm from the US). Don't call me stupid, lol, but actually up until this year I didn't know Scottland was its own country, I though it was like just a region. Most people over here just generally think of the Island of Great Britain as one country instead of three. And many people don't even know that Ireland is divided into two and the small country is part of the UK

  • when i was learning how to skateboard i prayed to land a kickflip also

  • You're accent was pretty good. Still had obvious English undertones though. You sounded like someone who'd lived in the US for several years but was raised in the UK.

  • Your accent is really good. The way you pronounce your rr's is a lot like the New York accent.

  • When I was religous I prayed to the Christian God that my teacher would not be in to take in the homework twice and both times the teacher was not in to take the homework. It could be coincidence but chills man.
