One Woman, 17 British Accents - Anglophenia Ep 5

The UK is incredibly diverse in terms of

accents

and it turns out I can use many of these

accents

as my party trick, so come with me as I take you on a guided tour through all the accents and archetypes of Britain. Hello. I'm Siobhan Thompson and she's Angenia and what I'm talking about now is RP, get pronunciation or do you know BBC Standard English, it's spoken all over the country, generally, upper middle and upper middle class people, think Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch or you know. most BBC News presenters, so good evening, it's 9:00 and this is the news.

I am a very important height and now Dy is usually only talked about in film and television, so you will think of n card or Dodge counts in downt. Abby, oh Gerald, I love you, but you're terribly poor now. London is the place where most people outside of Britain can recognize it. You know the classic Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels come out of my pub, go ahead, get out of there. it you T East Anglia is a flat place with a flat, swampy accent. I love to give you an example of someone who comes from there and talks like that, but everyone loses their accent as soon as they can.

Stephen Fry is from Norfolk, but he doesn't talk like that because he's Posh. There's a sort of classic EAS Anglia freeze here. I dropped my computer on the fan and it broke. Now let's cross the island to the country to the west, which is a much rounder sound. It is a farmland full of sheep, cows and apples. Think Sam Gangi from The Lord of the Rings or Hagrid from the Harry Potter films. All you damned children, get off my land or, oh, Mr. Frodo, don't let them turn me into something unnatural. when you go down to Cornwall it gets a bit more piratey so lift the m and squire massive trani now Southern W is this big accent, sing and sing, think Tom Jones or Richard Burton, you know, rage, rage against the dying of the light .

Damn, I love Dyan Thomas. North Wales is where singer Duffy is from, he has a stronger, more breathy accent and most people there speak wsh at home and English is a second language so now you cross the country to the West Midlands in Birmingham It's a very New Zealand kind of accident, mainly because of all the industry that happened in that area. Cat D who hosts So You Think You Can Dance is from there and so is Aussie Osborne. You know Sharon, where's the damn remote? Yes, that Bo. what he does is not because of drugs it's just where he's from scous it's his classic Liverpool accent The Beatles are from there and so is Paul McAn.

They were also the main European capital of culture a couple of years ago by the EU, so don't do it. Tell me I have a good culture outside of this lane and you know, think of Christopher Eckl or most of the cast below in Downt Abby Daisy, get those buns out of the oven before they burn, oh Mr. Bits, so cross The Pennines to Yorkshire is a much longer road. with a flatter Lancashire accent and they cut out a lot of words, so I go to a pub up the hill, I think about Shan Bean from Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, it's not just walking into a murder, so in North Umberland and Newcastle.

Speaking with a Jordie accent, so think Jordi Shaw or Carol Cole. She remembers getting fired from the former wrestler because no one could understand a word she or Billy Elliot said. All I want to do is dance B, but my dad makes me box with Eden. It's the capital of Scotland, it's a very soft accent, maybe a little smug, think of yourself and McGregor or D Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagal, that's 10 points taken from Gryffindor. Mr. Porter G.L. Loi has a much thicker accent, Billy Cornelly and Peter Capal are both from there, they cut out a lot of the words, so I had butter, so I had to go to the store, you know, and to the extreme north, to the Scottish highlands, I think of Amy Pwn from Doctor Who or maybe Sir Robert Burns is the best main plan of the gang of mice and men after Glee now let's go to Northern Ireland and it's all about the votes with Northern Irish Jackson as well as Hello Night Branco Liam n is from there and has a very particular skill set I know he doesn't say it with that accent in the movie but it sounds good and finally Southern Ireland is obviously not part of it from the UK, but I can do a double accent, so let's do it, it's a pretty classic.

Artistic accent with a lot of accent so Connor from there Nothing compares Nothing compares to you that's all for me tell me if there are any British accents I miss because I love a challenge don't forget to subscribe and thanks for watching.
