As an 'American, what kills me is when listening to an audiobook or radio play, 99% of the British voice actors use an 'American accent that sounds exactly the same, and it's an accent that doesn't exist anywhere in the States. Some very well-trained actors can pull off a given regional accent for a part, usually in a big-budget movie (Tom Hardy is one). I know this does cut both ways. I've travelled all over the States, England and Scotland. If I spend more than a few days in one area speaking with the locals, I'll start speaking with the local accent/dialect without realizing it. I love all of the various local slang in the UK. I've been listening to a lot of Rebus novels by Ian Rankin and the narrator (McPherson?) is epic at nailing the myriad Scotish accents. I've been practicing while listening, I think my dog gets confused as she's the only other one in the house.
@@stringlarson1247 I find Scottish hard to listen to because of the many Gaelic interjections and Scottish is thick on the ear by itself. One thing that always turns me off is "machine gun dialogue" when multiple people are conversing, speaking quickly and all are taking a different slant. The cadence should be relaxed and natural but there are too many speed demons. As one American said jokingly "I come from the only part of the country that has no accent." For much of my career, I was a wordsmith. There is nothing like writing something down or making a verbal presentation to clarify thoughts and ideas. Of course, it is often better to be quiet and listen because anything I have to say I already know and it is socially attractive to be a good active listener. Break a leg.
@Paul-v8v4j heh. That's awesome. I love Scottish accents, but yeah, some are impossible to understand. Tho, I think that applies to any language/accent/dialect. One's use of their local accent/dialog can/is used as a tool to keep 'outsiders ' from (over)hearing a conversation. I find it all fascinating. As for wordsmithing, during my 40ish years in hi-tech, I had to do a great deal of that for technical material. Now I just do it for prose and poetry. "Ears open, mouth shut" was one of the best lessons I learned when I started my engineering career. It still serves me well.
