I'm English, from London, and I understand the difference of inflection that Emma's talking about. She's definitely nailed it! Kudos
I’m Puerto Rican and I understood the difference. I kept repeating it aloud as if they could hear me.😅😂
I don't think people realize, like in America, there are a lot of different accents in the UK.
@@user-mb9rh2iz5l grew up in london moved to america as a teen, you are right none of them are doing it! I still say bottle this way, and confuse the hell out of everyone around me when asking for one. That noise doesnt come from the side of your mouth thats for sure.
The 'TL' sound she mentions is an older Received Pronunciation form, and nobody in this interview was the right combination of old, posh, and English to do it! If you want a hilarously over the top example over the sound, look up the 'Light Metal' sketch with Stephen Fry.
@@user-mb9rh2iz5l see, you misunderstood what she was trying to say. She actually specifically said that she’s not talking about a glottal stop.
To be fair, not just a British accent, but her impersonation of Olivia Colman at 0:54 is pretty good.
I was about to say that. Spot on. XD🤍
I didn't know who Olivia was, she is real fun.
@@vicsar Olivia Coleman is a national treasure and I'm not even British.
@@iambiggus 😁
It's even more spot on at 0:16
0:16 her impression of olivia colman is spot on!
The subtle difference Emma is trying to demonstrate is between the older and more conservative RP pronunciation of T followed by a syllabified dark L, versus an aspirated T with a schwa before the L, which is usually vocalized. The same distinction can be made with final N, where conservatively, the N is syllabified, but more commonly today with younger speakers, it's a schwa before the N for the final syllable. Additionally, using a glottal stop for the T in either case is often viewed as a working class trait. In reality, anyone from any class might use a glottal stop or the aspirated T, sometimes even in free variation.
That's very easy for you to say.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
That was a very clear explanation in latin. Can you explain it for us in english, please?
psssht yeah totally we know understand :)
Could you provide an example with the final “n”? 😊
I wish I was Emma's best friend. I could listen to her tell stories all day.
people who learned to play roles (that means they learned to narrate and to speak, in general) and also travel all the time and meet literally hundreds of people every year, of course have more funny stories than ordinary people.
Somewhere on youtube are clips of Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone side by side, chatting.
Most actors can't do accents in general but Emma is pretty damn good.
Isn't it more the case that if an actor can't do a pretty wide range of accents they arn't gong to get hired for anything?
Maybe it's just a UK thing but if you're a scouser and can only do scouse you're screwed.
@@BadgerUKvideo it's just a UK thing, Americans don't need to be able to do accents to get hired in Hollywood. Accents open some doors though
You mean most muricans can't.
@@SidV101 That said, even in America, if you do happen to have a strong regional accent, you either have to lean into it & make it part of "your brand" or find a way to smooth it out into a more neutral American accent to get cast in the bigger roles. Reese Witherspoon, for example, is from the deep South but, she had to know how to get rid of her Southern accent in order to get cast in any of her breakout movies (Election, Legally Blonde, etc). On the other hand, Matthew McConaughey found success by leaning into his Texas persona but, it does still limit him to certain roles/movies. And as you indicated, in terms of prestige... Hollywood does very much reward actors that can do an accent for a role (case in point: Robert De Niro's current nominations for "Killers of the Flower Moon").
But, I think one thing that does make a difference for accent requirements in the US vs UK is that regional accents in the US aren't quite as cleanly delineated as they are in the UK. It is perfectly normal for someone to live in Tennessee but, not have a particularly strong Southern accent (sometimes it's only certain words/phrases that give them away). Or for someone to be from New York, but have an accent that is not that hugely different from someone born in Chicago. So, most of the time, an actor from New England can easily play a dude from California without worrying too much about putting on an accent (unless their particular accent just happens to be very strong). However, in the UK, I think most people can pretty accurately pinpoint what region you're from just by your accent. So, an actor from London always knows that he is gonna have to put on an accent if a project is set in Yorkshire or Liverpool. Meanwhile, in America, doing an accent just isn't expected/required for most projects.
@@john.premose LOL, most European actors do terrible American accents. I get that you just want to bash Americans, but the facts exist.
Emma Stone is adorable. So much talent!
Talented, hardworking and delightful Emma.
Disgusting
I love Emma Stone every time she appears on a screen, without fail. She is really such a great actress and so much fun!
She seems like she doesn't need to take herself too seriously. Very refreshing.
Talk show hosts must love guests like Emma. Funny, outgoing and listens!
Emma and J. Law are the best American interviewees.
And Anna Kendrick.
Very true.
Do you mean Jude Law? He’s English
And they’re besties with each other
No, I think they mean Jennifer Lawrence@@lindawitt9063
Her story reminds me of the scene in "Love Actually" where Colin is in the Wisconsin bar just saying words.
For some reason, I know what she's talking about and I'm American. I can hear Olivia Coleman doing it
Love Emma Stone. And indeed, her accent is arguably better than many Brits, in that she could say "bottle" like that.
Source?
@@mrtoothlessThey made it up.
Literally everyone says bottle, it's generally people from the east end of London or parts of Essex that don't say it like bottle. There are stereotypes about British people and they way we speak, we have dozens of regional accents, and the UK consists of 4 countries. We are a diverse population.
@@tifu3274 Preach!
I read this to the voice of the BBC America advert at the end LMAO!
She is so charming.
It's weird. Proper English on both sides of the Atlantic would say a T sound in "bottle" but in colloquial speech we have all moved away from it- the English seem to be adopting glottal stops willy nilly, in this as other words, and even in regional accents that did not formerly use them, where Americans and Canadians tend to slur the T sound into a D sound more often than not.
You mean like a "boddle" of "wadder"😊?
As an English actor who studied in America, can confirm the double t which is d thing.
As an American who has lived in America since birth, so can I.
Prescriptivist nonsense and you don't even really know what you're talking about. Some accents in the UK pronouncing certain Ts as a glottal stop [ʔ] and basically all English-speaking Americans and Canadians pronounce those same instances of T as an alveolar tap [ɾ].
Americans and Canadians often use a flap (tap) for "t" intervocalically. It sounds more like a "d" because it's voiced and unaspirated. North American English speakers also use unreleased and unaspirated true "t" for final "t" sounds, but they're often mistakenly called "dropped" because they're unreleased. In actuality, it's not a true deletion.
0:15 Rob is a good listener and he nod his head 😊❤😊❤❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊
Rob sitting there waiting for an opportunity to force small man in a box into the conversation.
I would also be looking for that opportunity if I could do that
Emma Stone is awesome!
0:43. That's self prise ❤😂😂❤
Her impersonation of Olivia Colman is pretty perfect too . Wow!
Love her!
Honestly..that was an amazing Coleman impression....
Never thought about it, but I say ”bottle” the same way, with the sides and back of the tongue. No, not a glottal stop.
I always notice that in British accents, same thing with the word "mental"
I involuntarily do it when I say "sleep". The sides of the tongue just makes a little click, like a "cl" sound.
So do I and I speak Queen's English, as it was known in my day - as usual, the insufferable Claudia Winkleman is talking out of her arse!
I love her
love her.
Amazing talented actor!!!
She does do a brilliant British accent
There is no such thing as a British accent.
Love her forever
Bo'Oh of Wa ah
She was quite specific that's not what she meant. She was playing royalty, not modern east London
@@kurtsudheim825that isn’t just modern east London 😂 ignoring the t’s is a common (common in both senses here) thing across most working class regions in England, with different accents of course
Rob: well I'm welsh so...
Love her.
love her
I think what Graham should do is have Ms. Stone and Ms. Colman on at the same time to tandem demonstrate Ms. Colman's tip. I first heard the word "bottle" used to mean "fighting nerve", was when tough-guy character Phil Mitchell on Eastenders was gloating after a nice guy character had backed down from a possible fight with Phil, and I think he might have said it roughly the same way Ms. Stone showed us here.
I am absolutely loving that this video sparked a zillion comments about linguistics 🤓
So cute😂❤
Man I remember when she was Jonah Hill’s love interest in Superbad.
Her star has risen so much over the years!
When she did Easy A I knew she was a star then.
One of our estimated 40 different accents. Glaswegian, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Highlands (and several more Scottish accents), Geordie, Scouse, Yorkshire, Welsh (of which there are several), Brummie, West Country, Essex, Cockney, Mancunian, Estuary, Northern Irish (6 of them I think), Midlands, Cornish,.....the list goes on and on and on.
There are over 300! I don't where you got 40 from!
"Northern Irish" accents ain't British. (I typed that in a British accent.)
America has more than 8200 different accents and yet Brit actors always do the same one in films.
@@Macca-rb5ok true. Northern Ireland is part of the UK but not part of Britain. But TBF, even British people get this distinction wrong.
@@unexplainedaf7469blame the American vocal coaches that they are given to work with. I think there is a standard accent that coaches working in Hollywood tend to teach British actors. It's rare that a coach will teach them something more specific and localised, and British actors find it hard anyway because they are so used to either LA or NYC accents.
Im absolutely sure on of the charactes of the soul is to keep going in and creating circles experienced death and came back to life by this lady she said it's lots of circles❤❤🎉🎉
lmao the side eye at the end
It's called a glottal stop 🙂
Not a full glottal stop, she specified that.. the glottal stop would have no "t" sound at all. It's more about the fusing of "t" and "l" I think, where the "t" becomes a bit of a "d", but less so than in the US "bahddle"
Thank you - Just have gone down a glottal stop hole. TIL
Nope. Glottal stops aren't strange to Americans at all. This is something else.
One thing I find so interesting about the glottal stop is that all English speakers (or at least most of them) have it, but every accent uses it on different words. eg some Brits say "li'l" while Americans say "liddle" for little, and Americans say "moun'n" while Brits say "mountain"
It's the opposite of a glottal stop. The sound she means is old posh RP, the glottal stop is working-glass London.
The glottal stop happens down the throat, this one is a click on the side of the mouth.
she's a gem
i think she's describing what i call the "Moaning Myrtle" pronunciation. no idea if it was the actual accent they used in the film or if it's just something i imagined growing up, but i always pronounce the TL in "Myrtle" with this flippy kinda way that pops the air through the sides.
not sure what kind of British accent it is as not everybody does it, but it sounds maybe more posh, traditional, or perhaps royal?? idk i'm just an American i don't know shit.
o
One of the best to do it. Good job. Naomi Watts in Eastern Promises was a shock but she was born here.
It's called Lateral Plosion :)
Kate Winslet says "bottle" in her Oscar speech exactly as Emma is trying to describe here, for anyone who's curious HAHAHA
Nailed it, how did you find that out?
@@Silentnemesis2710 I just had that feeling that I’ve heard it before so I went looking haha
emma is not you go first as a man. but she gone do really nice on second blink. what a beauty.
Emma Stone getting Oscar win #2 will be amazing. I want to see an actress at least one day tie Audrey Hepburns 4 Oscar Wins
Katherine
Frances McDormand has four! Although I think one is for producing.
@@nazarkgb1one for producing. I think it's very unlikely Frances will win a fourth best actress Oscar.
@@sarahc2203 Katharine (sorry, couldn't resist it!)
@@stewmott3763 sure is! Can’t believe I’ve not noticed that before.
I understand what she's explaining. It's hard because it's not a pronunciation that is natural in other words.
1) Throw enunciation out of the window - the double T puts your tongue too far forward
2) The nearest pronunciation to get your tongue in the right place is the 'cl' in "clueless" but it's more like 'chl' and probably why people think Brits say "bokkle" (some people take it too far and do actually say that)
3) Try saying Bo-clueless without the 'ueless' with a soft 'chl' insteal of a hard 'cl' so it's nore like a glottal 'bochle'.
I loved Emma Stone in Queens Gambit
you get to see her hoot sin teh movie too nice set
Yes
I think that i watch your last movie, because you are my little baaaaabyyyyy 😂😍
I would love to see her in more English roles.
Oh I get what she means. BotTle, kind of a pause between the two sounds. But you know real British accents sound fake, when my British actor friends go in for parts she always gets told it sounds fake. I just copy her & it’s really easy :)
Language is so interesting! There is a native Mexican language, Nahuatl, that does that "tl" thing with blowing air out of the side of your mouth too. I learned this from a Chicano Culture professor, she used the girls' name Xochitl as an example (So-she-l.)
It's exactly the same pronunciation. The central Mexican accent is very 'clipped' and pronounces all the consonants very clearly, unlike most other Spanish accents around the world, which focus on the vowels.
People in other countries (including Spain) struggle with the TL sound, which is why they often say "chipocle" instead of with the T sound!
Liiiiiiies you tell yourself 😂
I'm a very harsh critic of Americans doing English accents (not professionally or anything, I'm just a git), and I'd say Emma Stone's is pretty much perfect - like, Meryl Streep perfect. Mark Ruffalo, on the other hand .. I mean, I love him and everything. But I love Keanu Reeves too, you know what I mean?
This thumb is amazing hahahahah
0:48. No wonder she is an Oscar winner
She’s talking about old posh lady English. The way I hear it sounds almost like a ‘c’ type sound to my ears. Sort of like ‘boh-cle’ or ‘boc-hul’ I can’t really spell it phonetically exactly the way it sounds. But yeah, my grandma used to say it like that. And she never said ‘tishoo’ for tissue etc. she’d say ‘you’ll find some TISS-YOO in the lavatory’ she was from a council estate, raised 5 kids as a single mum on the dole. But she had high standards, and middle-class values. She was like hyacinth Bucket for anyone old enough to remember keeping up appearances.
It's tinted bee's wax.
Lateral plosion is what she was referring too, joining the t and l so air blows into the cheeks.
So now Brits are stealing obscure phonemes from indigenous Mexican languages and substituting them for their anglo-saxon sounds?? Will the colonization never end!?
I mean she even broke the heart of one of them!
Reminds me of Kris Marshall in Love Actually speaking to the American girls
I knew exactly what sound she was talking about, why does nobody on the couch 😂
me too 😭
"Olivia was so helpful" yes I am sure she was VERY VERY helpful
So funny
What a sweeping generalization, as if British people all spoke with the same accent. You'd be lucky to find two people in the UK who sound the same.
People in Essex sound the same as Cockneys who sound the same as people from Stevenage and Hatfield, in my experience. Geordies sound similar to Scots. In Devon and Cornwall people sound like Bristolians.
@@facthunt2facthunt245 Wrong people in Essex do not sound the same people in Harwich have a different accent from those who live in Colchester who come from everywhere. And there havn't been any cockney's in decades. Cockney's had to be born within earshot of the Bow Bells (a East End Church) I am a geordie and I sound nothing like a Scot🤣 Geordies are descendents of the Danes (Vikings) as Northumberland was the heart of Daneland.
ah the beloved glottal stop
I feel like I know what she means and am surprised these Brits didn’t get her
Olivia was trying to help Emma say "bottle" with a British accent, when Americans pronounce 't' like 'd' as in "boddle."
The New Meryl Streep
I’m really talented too.
EMMA STONE'S FACE BETWEEN FIONA FROM SHREK AND BELLA FROM POOR THINGS HAHAHAHAHA
I think she is talking about lateral release.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She looks like Jodie Foster
She can also play a very convincing part asian woman.
I am wondering if OLIVIA COLMAN was pronouncing 'bottle' as in "bottling it"; that can sound like a catch to someone who does not live with the English accents. x!
I thought she was British .. not just because of the accent.. the whole quality… wow
It's the ginger hair, isn't it?
@@facthunt2facthunt245and she’s a natural blonde 😅
A "British" accent!
That makes as much sense as an "American" accent.
They both make sense. If you are British you have a British accent. There's about a dozen British accents but you'll have one of them.
If you are American you have an American accent. There's several different American accents.
@@facthunt2facthunt245 There are hundreds of "British" accents.
For a start, it's 4 different countries.
As for the 'Merkins, who cares?
None of them say anything that matters and they are all speaking a foreign language.
@@truthteller99999stay mad champ
I think she meant pronouncing the (tt) of bo(tt)le with a glottal stop. Actually some Americans do that, too, not just the Brits 🙂
That's not what she meant. The others demonstrated the glottal stop, and she said that wasn't it.
Not quite a glottal bottle stop then...
(I had a friend who loved saying "gotta lotta bottle" with full glottal. He was Russian.)
She has finally started to look like an adult. Because up until now she had that youngster kind of face.
It's her huge eyes.
It’s not the glottal stop it’s the side grin and a click of the tongue, and giving it a cheeky vibe. Maybe Olivia is trying to cheer her up with a bit of Cockney stereotype perhaps? Probably to stop her from obsessing too much. I’d snap out of it if you showed me something completely different and say, hey, now do that 😮. Maybe Olivia was good at handling children or something, but it seems quite fun.
As in is it a bit like the LL in Welsh?
It's the opposite of Cockney, Olivia is doing the older RP version. Listen to any posh old person from the 70s or earlier and that's how they pronounce it.
I presume her appearance here with Mark Ruffalo is to promote 'Poor Things' (for which she is likely to win the Oscar this year), otherwise their attendance together is just plain weird.
Yup!
Wait why is it weird?
@@liliablabla I think they mean it would be a huge coincidence if they weren't both promoting the same movie.
@@Mortified_Penguin ....Yeah. My point. Thanks. Kinda late, but happy new year.
I'm just surprised they've kept their clothes on.
Aye, because of Emma Queen Olivia was in “The Bear” instead of “Boiling Point”
wait… care to elaborate?
😍
Wait a minute! I always thought she is British! 😮
She's from Arizona. One of the least British places of Earth, I guess.
she actually looks british
never noticed her slight speech impediment before like she has a lisp
No such thing as a British accent 👍 it’s 3 countries which all sound completely different and in England especially there’s about 30 different accents if not more
For some reason Americans always say British accent when they mean English accent. Obviously there is still a huge variety of accents even within England but I always find it funny they always say British not English, when English would be more accurate as it's more specific.
It's British
Much like we would be perfectly happy describing her accent as "American"?
@@mattyouds5843 No not like that because Britain has four separate countries within it (England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland) with four distinct national accents (and a variety of regional accents within the countries too). America has regional accents sure but the United States is in fact one country so it would be apt to describe her accent as American.
If you re-read my original comment you should be able to grasp what I am getting at.
@@avantgardener7493 I know what you mean but I think we have a tendency to hold Americans to standards that we don't hold ourselves to.
Yes England is a country but it isn't a sovereign state any more than New York is. I think it's reasonable for people from other countries to view the UK as a single country since that's effectively what it is (single national government, single head of state, currency, no hard borders - sort of, even a single entry at Eurovision).
We call the individual parts of the union "countries" but they're not really that different to the individual states in the US or Australia.
@@mattyouds5843 I get what you mean and in the end it's obviously not a huge issue. It was more an interesting quirk that I had noticed amongst Americans, who imo have a particular way of thinking of themselves in relation to other countries. For the record I'm Australian and people here would say English accent, not British accent for the most part.
I've only heard her British accent in Cruella and it was horrendous.
Sure your accent is the pretty one
says who the upper class like the royal family
She look totally different from her look in spider man
Damn I thought she was British 🤯
It's strange that the Graham Norton show can only be seen on cable in the US because there's swearing and the guests have real drinks. Yet in the UK this is considered tame and shown on network TV.
It sounds like American viewers are treated like children in their own country.
Bohoowaha 😂
