    You've made learning a British accent so simple to grasp. it just takes practice, but the hardest thing is to not force it. Letting it come naturally. But I guess that's difficult because you hear yourself and you don't know what natural is anymore but I'm quick. Thanks for the lessons.

    • @NewYorkActingCoach
      @NewYorkActingCoach  11 років тому +108

      Yes, working on the sounds feels different to speaking with feeling / or just speaking as oneself. Maybe ask a friend if you can speak in the accent for 15 minutes with them. Or read and study British stuff more mayube in order to feel more at home with the accent. It can happen fast, or take years to feel true with an accent, but that isnt the point, the point is to be true, and secondly do the accent. Use my website's e-mail if you've questions please. J

    • @NewYorkActingCoach
      @NewYorkActingCoach  10 років тому +256

      Yes, you're right. But there are many different accents and some people speak all of them more casually, or in a hurry, missing out some letters in the way you've noticed. But to begin with it's best to say everything clearly, and in the kind of accent most actors (and people learning English) need to learn the 't' needs to be said. Odd questions can always be asked best on the 'Contact' page of my website Windsor-Cunningham.com at no charge, and if you ever need more help I teach on Skype. John

    I'm starting to study linguistics at college and I find dialects really interesting, but I haven't taken a class on them yet. Watching your videos is helping me distinguish the sounds in American and British English, especially the second one... this third one was a bit more obvious for me since the types of sound distinctions you were addressing are vowels you see in almost any dialect of English, so I know their IPA symbols. I think it would be interesting to learn about every English language accent, but that might have to wait for a formal class.

      Thanks for kind words. Seems to me you may have found a way, by doing it silently, of getting your voice to be just the way that you want, and to feel natural. I do coaching on Skype for people who want to fine-tune, and can always be contacted on the website for that, but also to answer odd questions for free, so do feel free to ask. On Windsor-Cunningham.com Thanks again.

    • @NewYorkActingCoach
      @NewYorkActingCoach  4 роки тому

      Well thanks for the idea, but I don't believe that accents are part of serious actors' needs. Serious actors need to understand irony in Pinter and love in Chekhov and power n Shakespeare, and comedy techniques, and Meisner techniques and dozens of other things, and anyway if they need a different accent they can come to me privately This is the accent American actors are most asked to do, and most casting nowadays is done with actors who have the accent of the character they are playing by being born with it. So "Comedy in Shakespeare" will be my next one. Sorry. John Windsor-Cunningham

    • @NewYorkActingCoach
      @NewYorkActingCoach  22 дні тому +1

      Well, if you've got used to an accent for the part, remember that every line of a part cannot, of course, be about an accent, so may people would say that what an audience needs to know is what the lines really mean, so to keep working on the actual script.. But,in fact, the secret, mysterious path to finding the truth of any part can be found in many ways, so maybe you've already found it! J.
