I heard Gary Oldman had to be coached to relearn the accent he grew up having after losing it doing the Nolan Batmen

I speak with a northern illinois accent when I drink. I didn’t even really have that accent when I lived up there.

@thefeckamisigningupwithfacebook that means i can understand you at home..hmm

Which one?

This should really be "Get home and stop doing the posh accent."
JPRiddles
"Telephone voice"
jasperiscool
The fact that there are so many British accents is proof that most Brits suck at doing the British accent. ♥
Fnarrrr
The British accent? the look of confusion for anyone trying to decipher a discussion between Glaswegian, Cornish, Geordie & Norfolk folk ?
phuzz00
Those four might need someone from the Midlands to translate between them.
Fnarrrr
Well that depends if yow can spake YamYam like wot i do, doe it aer kid? ?

As someone from South Georgia (US), trying to suppress my southern accent, I can relate to this.
freckledkink
Mississippi here. I lived on the coast and had a more generic American accent until I moved upstate. I struggle to not sound "country". I

Don't sound like I'm from home anymore though.

Don't complain; if you were from South Georgia (UK) you'd probably just make Penguin squeaky-chirpy noises.

Yeah...that over the shoulder look at 15:15. If she used that on me, I would do ANYTHING she ever asked of me...yes, pathetic...

The movie "Crossing Over" is strong evidence there is a god.

Simon Pegg, though really popular and beloved, is still highly underrated...
disabledwerewolf
Highly underrated seems at odds with really popular and beloved. What would make him less underrated?
Winterturtle
Being more popular and beloved
EchoWhiskyBravo
Love him. I really liked Beyond too. I wish the studio would have given him another ST movie.
MisuseOfLiterally
I didnt quite enjoy his ST movie... but I would still give him another bc i love the guy and I know he loves ST too

Moon Knight is basically a documentary about our normal voices mocking us from behind glass.
SexyCatLover6969
Haha
ThePerks2010
That accent is wonky as fuck they got the dialect right("it's bonkers bruv" made me laugh my arse off) but it's borderline Dick van Dyke bad
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
Yeah but Steven isn't genuinely English. So his accept is like Marc's subconscious imitation of English.
ThePerks2010
Oscar Isaac said in a recent empire interview he based it on Russell Kane's accent which took me by surprise, such an odd connection.

You know we all talk Welsh until other folks arrive.
MyBigMouth
Except the Scottish, we're still Scottish.
rbudrick
Scots or Gaelic, though?

OGymruOGymro
The Scots are the worst for speaking Welsh when other people are around!
q2grapple
There is Scottish that even Scottish people can’t understand

Both my parents are from Ayrshire, and they cannae understand my dad's aunt who's from Aberdeen!

This man would be Irish.
JPRiddles
He would be, if he could do even a passable Irish accent.
fowlersleftfoot
Well yeah, true enough.
chukyrlaw
It didn't matter. It was still hilarious. And anyway it was pikey, not Irish. He already bollixed the Irish accent in another movie
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
We don't have an accent, we just speak English correctly.
ufoara
fowlersleftfoot
Again…Irish
Mistruths
It's more like you speak awful French with a bad German accent, and awful German with a bad French accent, and can't tell when you switch.

I wondered whether to mark that as a joke but it was so obvious why bother? Of course i don't know if people don't realise or it's not funny
munchmunchmunch
I think it’s a funny joke. (British) English sounds so proper! And your use of the word “love” make me swoon. “This way love” was so sweet.
munchmunchmunch
Your being “your people” ?
SexyCatLover6969
People on Imgur never think you’re joking. I’m serious :-P.
thegifnews
British humour!
davyclam
If you're Southern English that's not true. Only Yorkshire folk pronounce their vowels correctly.
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
I'm from Cheshire, which I suppose is Southern English as far as Yorkshire folk are concerned.
runcently
The announcement voice at Heathrow is a lady with a Yorkshire accent. Am told it’s deliberate, as it’s easier for foreigners to understand
tinyfootprints
I lived in northern Georgia for about a year. I was horrified that I picked up the accent and was glad to get past it.
Rhinta
What? Southern accents are wonderful! Lived just south of Nashville during college and I phase back in to it whenever I'm around southerners
SexyCatLover6969
You mean the state? I was born and raised in North Georgia. That Georgian/Appalachian accent is precious.
tinyfootprints
1/ Yeah, Gainesville. Actually I'm OK with the accent in isolation but the people I picked it up from were total racists and I came to >
SexyCatLover6969
Haha ah yeah Gainesville is a shit hole.
SexyCatLover6969
Tons of racists still here. We are working on getting rid of them. Like pulling up weeds…
cardinal29
tinyfootprints
2/ associate the accent with racism, which was why I was happy to unlearn it. Also, the Georgia accent took me even further from my actual >
tinyfootprints
3/ roots in Asia, and it's important to me to present myself to the world as the person I think I am.
SexyCatLover6969
Nice. I was just saying that a few good people live in North Georgia, especially towards the mountains.
tinyfootprints
Good to hear. I wouldn't want to generalize the attitudes of some people I met as being characteristic of all North Georgians.
BeerandCats
I'm originally from Massachusetts & have that regional accent, I've been suppressing it for the past 20yrs, when I visit home it's a relief
fleshnugget
Being from NH I read that in your regions accent - thanks I guess
BeerandCats
Dude that's wicked pissah
Squelchtone
Now I want to know which town you grew up in. I'm from Western Mass where we dont have that accent, but I lived in Waltham for a while..

Being southern and going anywhere out of the southern US. Only most people assume the worst if you sound southern. Very few actually think
freckledkink
It's neat. Usually Scandinavian people.
thescyllaandcharybdis
Yeah I used to think it was neat and then I lived in the south and the people really ruined it for me, like I hear it and I’m like oh god
thescyllaandcharybdis
What’s he gonna say
freckledkink
Yeah. I'm from a liberal part of the south then moved to a rural part. It was a culture shock. I'm used to cities, not towns and country.
freckledkink
The mindset is different. It doesn't really matter what part of the US in the rural area you're in, either. Everyone's cut off from the
Dontwearhatsindoors
May I ask why? I don't understand.
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
Lots of "working class" connotation with that accent. Unless you're a Kennedy.
Iaskdumbquestions
Have you heard of Massholes?
Mistruths
I'm pretty sure we're orbiting them at each level, massholes all the way down
BeerandCats
Went to college in VT, they couldn't understand me, I'm an engineer, my accent my accent brings... Judgement to say the least
TheobromineAddict
Is it common, with your accent, to also repeat words and phrases as you talk?
StandBackSomeonesOffened
Hah gottem

I am also from Massachusetts and am very thankful to live in a part of the state that doesn’t have that horrible accent.

Say hi to your mother for me
Beezlebubble
As someone also from a part of MA lacking any distinct accent, hi. I can proudly say "quarter past four" and you'll hear all the "R's"
Canchocolatejustletmefinish
Omg same. Also hi.
Beezlebubble
Do people also guess random places when trying to figure out where you're from?
JPRiddles
I thought Ameicans used "after" & "till" instead of "past" & "to" or more commonly 4:15 or 3:45
Beezlebubble
Depends on where you are or who you talk to. My family and people in my area say "quarter of", "half past", "ten of" etc. Some say "till"
Beezlebubble
Around here but it's not too common. "Quarter of six" is said usually "quarter a six" - almost abbreviated. Can't abbreviate "till"
Beezlebubble
And no extra ones (if you don't know what I mean, ask someone from providence RI or a separate area from MA to say "washcloth" or
Canchocolatejustletmefinish
Warshclorth. Lol
Beezlebubble
Yep
Beezlebubble
"Frustrated" or "February" - the "R's" go flying!)
drcurlyfat
Oh god…certain parts of “trashy” Wyoming actually said “flrustrated.” Extra r and l!
