alphadawn2015 lennon You are right of course, - there are dozens more British accents, but this video is for American actors, and is the UK accent which casting directors in the USA most want for the hundreds of productions of Shakespeare, Stoppard, Shaw and Wilde (yes I know he was Irish) in the USA each year. If people want the wonderful Northern, Welsh - or other accents - they can come for coaching, but this one is what they most ask for. Sorry if it caused any offense. John Windsor-Cunningham

@John Windsor-Cunningham Growing up on the other side of the canal (Nederland) I was used to the British accent (that's what we learned in school) but the films on the "telly" were mostly American with Dutch subtitles. Still, I automatically fall back to the British accent. It seems to come more naturally to me and I've always liked the way it sounded. Thank you sir. Stay safe and sound.

Hee-he! Well kind of you to suggest I'm speaking well, and do remember that no accent matters very much nowadays, everyone speaks differently - ! - what matter is that we should all try to speak clearly and with some kindness in our voices (something I frequently forget to do, I'm afraid in the madness of Covid), but that's all anyone really needs in their voice.

my backstory for me watching this since everyone is saying theirs: i want to be part of the SNL cast when I'm older so I figured why not start accents now so I can combine them with comedy aspects one day ! This instructor is one of the best, I've watched multiple videos today and this is the only one I haven't stopped halfway.

100% 10/10 This is the most helpful video I've ever seen. Nay, I'd say this is the most helpful video on the entirety of youtube. Even writing this now, I'm saying the words in my head as I type in my English accent. All this took was 14.5 minutes for me to retain all of the knowledge he provided. I am well on my way to winning my Emmy. Thank you, John Windsor-Cunningham.

As a british person, i can confirm that you are doing a pretty much perfect dorset accent, or southern british accent. It's really only the pronounciation of the 'A's that differs between english and american accents, and that also tends to be where people mess up when trying to do a british accent. cool video btw

Idk why this caught my interest so hard. I have no desire to learn a British accent, I'm not already British, and I'm not even bored. I still watched the entire thing from beginning to end while repeating everything, though. Awesome video.

I've noticed if a scentece end with ah or uh vowels and the next word starts with a vowel, there is usually a slight r at the end of it sometimes. (Example: Lava, Lava[r]). Something I've mentally noted when trying a British accent. I just randomly noticed it.

You know when I was little I actually pronounced a lot of these words like a British person. My R was always silent and my A was not Aye, but ahh. In 3rd grade they put me in a speech learning class to get away from making these same sounds. It actually feels weird to say them like this again.
