  • David Beckham is a British icon so I wanted to look at his English accent and show you how it has changed over the years. We start with an interview in 1994 and move through 2000 to the present day. I pick out the accent changes, interesting British slang vocabulary and how his pitch has lowered over the years.

    Great speech analysis of pronunciation. I'm from Wembley originally, so I have a NW London twang to my accent. Over time, through travel, work and now teaching English, I have modified my accent to try and speak more clearly to non-native listeners. As a result, I too have gone through similar pronunciation changes. Mind you, whenever I'm talking to my old friends from London, then within seconds the colloquialisms, slurring of words and the odd Cockney rhyming slang come out ;-)

He’s been living in many parts of the planet, so I think he picked up little pieces from every place he’s been to. I hope someday I can develop my British accent, not perfectly but good enough to feel myself comfortable with it. I’m working everyday to achieve that personal goal, thank you Tom for your support, your videos are really inspirational to many people around the globe.

    Interesting video. Just to add, I also grew up in North London and do speak similar to Becks how he did in his younger days but I know others do this too and adjust the way they speak, depending who they are talking to. In a more professional type of situation like a job interview, speaking to a bank manager or someone with authority I do really clean up the way I speak and switch it up almost RP like, not quite the same but sort of.
    With work friends and family I just revert to type and have that North London twang. Same like If I go on holiday, I have to clean up the way I talk so I'm better understood. Becks has lived in the states a good while and he wouldn't really be understood all that well if he spoke in his usual way. So it's likely he's had to polish it up a bit to be better understood out there.
    I wouldn't be surprised if he kinda just goes in and out of the two and depending who he's talking to, rather than an actual change to a more posh way of speaking.

    I've always thought the similarities between the accents in the Southern United States and the london accent were pretty funny. I mean we use different slangs and dialects obviously, but the connotations in which they're used is extremely similar. Especially in the Appalachian areas of the South. You should look into those accents and do a comparison video. Lol

    Tom - just wanted to point out because your video seems to suggest otherwise - dropping the final 't' is by no means unique to Cockney; I'm from Birmingham originally and we would do exactly the same but with a Brummie accent. I think it's just a common feature of regional, non-standard English.

    Tom, fascinating video! I loved it! Do you know, when I started watching English UA-cam videos to support my listening skills, I started with videos having to do with baking and cooking, because that's what I'm interested in. I came upon Jamie Oliver's "FoodTube", and there I met some great different English accents! I most of all love Cupcake Jemma, I can understand every single word she says because she speaks so fabulously clearly. Then there is Donal Skehan with his adorable Irish accent (but one that is easy to understand). I love those two. In some older videos there is a Londoner called KerryAnn Dunlop, and she has such a strong Cockney accent! It's so funny to me when she says "toma-oes" for example! :-) And my last example are the Chiappas, they are from Wales, but their family is from Italy. Such a cute accent! And I must really say, it helped me a lot watching all these videos! I would recommend it to everyone: watch videos about a topic you like! (By the way, I learned the word 'chuffed' from a guy called Andrew who was a contestant in the "Great British Bake-Off" a few years ago. He used it all the time, and so I looked it up and found out what it means.)

    The change in his pitch may be filters, EQ etc. Or different microphones, maybe with more basier frequencies or whateveryou call taht stuff. These sorts of things can really change the sound of a voice significantly.

  • @qwiglydee
    @qwiglydee 5 років тому +2

    These Beckhams have noticeably different position of their heads.
    The young one raises face up. In this position the throat is stretched forward and become tight, thus the higher pitch.
    The old one raises nape up. This makes the spine be more straight, and throat become wider, thus the lower pitch.
    You can try it yourself easily :)
    I've just recently learned it in my voice classes.
    The latter straight position has many benefits like voice strength and less tensions, but younger people tend to have screaming/yelling position.

  • @sandaglad

    Beckham used to sound so jarringly "working class" or "low class" that it belied his good looks. His way of speaking has noticeably improved.
    A surprising example of changing accents is actress Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary in "Downton Abbey," with her posh accent. In "real life" she has an unexpectedly "working-class" accent (to my American ears). I don't quite understand why she doesn't fully adopt the posh accent, as it is so much more pleasing to the ear, but I suppose she would think it sounds phony.

    Brilliant!, I only have a doubt, I thought "There's a few benefits" was ok because after the "there is" we have an "a", so, is it really wrong?

      yes. Also he didn't mention the way today's David connects words in phrase "behinD You". Does it sound more American?

    So basically what you’re trying to say ar 2:56, that the slang word “Chuffed” is equivalent to rich American, white kids, (nepo babies) often living or visiting ski resort towns (predominantly snowboarder, and skateboarders) saying they’re “Stoked”.

    I love this video. thanks for sharing, it could sound posh in the sense of he is speaking more properly the words and obviously if you start living or sharing with more people first of all they are not going to understand all of the things you are telling, and you are going to adopt some different ways to say the things.

  • @marikoabroad

    The accent change might be to do with living aroad doing lots of public speaches, so that everybody understands what he is saying. Very likely he had lessons as well. One of my British friend married to Australian and living there now. I was very surprised, to meet him after 20 years, how his accent was changed. He sounds ozzy to me now. Interesting 😁

    Sounds like he says "poy-puhs" when he says "papers". With my northern New York (I say "nooh" and not neeyoo ) accent, I say "PAY-purz".

      "Pay pehs" and also "paypah" I'm from Essex(near London) and it's a slightly different version of the old Cockney accent.

    Fanx! ... Conversely you could listen to how the Queen or Margaret Thatcher or David Cameron have "Estuarised" their speech... Thatcher also had training to lower her pitch. Beckham might also have had similar or it might just be changed for clarity when talking to non-London speakers?

      @@EatSleepDreamEnglish yea tom it really helps thanks anyway😃. Btw is how young beckham speaks how most of british people speak in daily life? I mean not only because of the accent, but the clearness, the speed, etc?
      Because i can understand 95% the videos in ur channel and maybe 80% in ur instagram story, but for young beckham probably only 20% 😂
