- Accent video for Atlanta, Georgia. As an Atlanta native for 50+ years, I have noticed fewer 'southern' accents in the Atlanta & surrounding area. I wanted to share my accent as a native, who was raised by native Atlanta parents. Mama and Daddy's accents were influenced by living near Ga. Tech and having kinfolk from the North Ga. Mountains & West Georgia. Atlanta is a melting pot of so many cultures and accents. Mine is just one! Enjoy and Subscribe!

As a non-American this is really my favourite US accent. It's so charming.
SAAAAMMMEEE! I love how calm and collected it sounds
As someone who lives there, ABSOLUTELY NOT CHARMING
That’s good to know! Her accent isn’t even that strong compared to when you go to North Georgia (mountain region).
Because Rick from the walking dead is from Atlanta
😁☺️😊!!!
Folks with this accent get picked on a lot in school for its considered a sign of being “uneducated”
Good to know some folks actually appreciate it. 😁
You have one of the prettiest voices, not just accents, I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Georgia accents are by FAR my favorite of the southern accents. They still have that old world Southern Gentility sound to them, that you're right, seems to be less and less common. I'm writing a post-apocalypse (not zombies :p) character who is from Georgia, and even though it'll be in written form, I really wanted to have a good ear for an authentic Georgia sound for her while writing. Often accents done from that area are OVER done, but you have a wonderful accent, genuine but not too thick and still very soft. Thank you for making this video, it's been a big help with my writing.
+Valerie Verith Thank you Valerie, your comment is very sweet. All the best to you on your writing. I hope it is wildly successful!
Ah'm proud of mah accent!
Valerie Verith your and idiot
Valerie Verith aww thank you!!!
@@Hisgirl777FoldFittedSheet I do hear a bit of r-dropping every so often in your accent. Like you pronounce some rs at the ends of words, but you drop others.
The "oil" freaks me out😂
The devil is beating his wife 😂😂😂 I'm dead
Georgia is by far the prettiest southern accent. It is genuinely such a charming and classy southern belle accent.
You have like, the purest "southern" accent! I like your little explanations and I love that you try to pronounce the variations that you know. thanks!
I've always found it interesting that Southerners pronounce "So", "Go" etc. almost with a British English accent.
Mackerel In Tomato it is a fact that the southern accent is the closest accent to English just a bit different
Jim Nielsen after doing ancestry research I finally understand why.
@@kindagoodkindabeck9358 yeah southern accent is close to west country yap english accent

@James Cowan The fourth State to enter the Union.
WOW, I'm so happy to hear the elegant Southern belle accent still exists! I could listen to you talk all day, such a beautiful voice. :)
I am from north Georgia so you sound perfect to me.
Lyndy Her demeanor is also very typical of the warm Georgian.
MA Milián they aren't all that warm to black folk up in N Ga. Or brown folk, or gay folk, or, well you get it, its Trump country.
gisforgary Oh, God. Not everything is political.
MA Milián lol, tell that to a N Georgian.
Well, I am sorry to hear of that...
Im from england originally and i find this accent so alluring.
I’m from Atlanta and we have a different accent but I love the accent people from north GA mountains area have !
I’m from southern GA, so I love it when I visit my friends from Northern GA because they have such different accents
this lady is from atlanta. you must be an illegal.
@SuperTrader Mikey no cap I'm from south Atlanta we don't talk like her
Northern GA sounds much like NC southern accent here
Northern Georgia and Northern Alabama are part of Appalachian. The accent/dialect is different from those born & bred farther South.
My Dad's whole family is from Northern Georgia (Jasper area) and you sound just like them! You especially sound like my Mema :)I was born in Atlanta and I used to also talk kinda like this, but my Mom is from up north and she always coached me to speak with that more "general" American accent because she was afraid that id have trouble being taken seriously in my career if I sounded too "country".It's sad that our accents are disappearing because of this pervasive view that southern accents sound "ignorant"
Kirstyn Lia Ross 😁
We have the same problem in Northern England.
Everyone from the South assumes you are educationally sub-normal if you have a Yorkshire or (even more so) Lancashire accent.
Still, turned out nice again!
@@bingola45 I love a Lancashire accent! I used to date a guy from Lancaster. I took me a while to understand him fully LMAO!
They are not disappearing but evolving world over .
Then there’s the Boston and New York accents that just sound awful anyway you slice it. I’d rather hear a southern accent any day
Like so many southern ladies, your accent is so beautiful and charming.
This is so soothing and gentle
Yes mam, that was wonderful! I really don't understand why we have to speak like a northerner when our southern accent is so much more pleasant on the ears!
Media has convinced several generations that to have a Southern accent is to be stupid or racist or backward, I think. That must be why so many comments from other countries don't seem to have that prejudice. They didn't grow up with both overt AND subtle cues that it's not really ok to have a Southern accent. In my opinion that is the reason it is dying out. I now live in New England and here, too, the strong Eastern New England accent is mostly heard amongst people of 50 years old or more. No one should feel ashamed of their accent. Speaking grammatically correct is something to learn and appreciate and having an accent with that is all the better.
Oh trust me other countries have that prejudice...we have it in the UK . Its the opposite way round though
I really Miss living in Georgia and this makes missing it a whole lot more..
From north Atlanta, hearing this accent is very nostalgic. I’m Sad I wasn’t able to pick up any sort of accent like this.
Your Voice is Very soothing and Relaxed, Beautiful.
Wow lol, as a British person half the phrases/words in this video I've never heard in my life
This lady has a genuine Southern accent
Since I love learning accents, I'll probably use your video for picking up the southern drawl. ;)I'm a Czech guy enamored with English and its various varieties. I really love your accent, it's just so... southern. lol
wow! Not many Americans know where my country is located! Be honest, did you google it? lol
blindpianist1 Czechia is in Central Europe. I did a JetPunk quiz where you have to name all of the countries of the world, and I look at Google Earth a lot so that is how I know about that country. I am Georgia, US btw.
I’m a teenager, born and raised in Atlanta, and my accent isn’t as severe as this one. When I’m surrounded by people with heavier accents, mine gets heavier, though. This accent is spot on with my middle aged relatives, teachers, and friends of my parents. I have to say though, my heart cries a little when I hear people pronounce theater like that.
And as the native accent slowly dies off, we'll just have memories. My parent's generation has a much more drawn out cadence than my peers. I miss hearing the older relatives call me by my first and middle name (because aren't southerners all suppose to have two names, LOL!)
The Walking Dead cast should listen to you for hours and learn your accent. It's really beautiful! Greetings from NYC!
Hey Juan! Thank you!!
Your accent is my fave out of the American southern ones. it's so sweet, demure, and cute.
I’m an Aussie and love the Georgia accent....
H3AVYHAUL3R I’m from Georgia and love the Australian accent
@@southernappalachianrecon Me too! And the kiwi accent too!
I’m British and it literally blows my mind that people actually sound like this
Why tho lol
I am British to and me too 😂😂
It pales in comparison to your Birmingham and Yorksire accents.
bruh have u heard urself 🤣 british accents sound funny asf
@@flagknight7012 and you don't?
Your voice is very soothing and beautiful! amazing accent! cheers from Africa!
This is precious and very informative! I'm an Actor and I've lived all over the US, so my accent is considered "General American" but I needed an Atlanta, GA accent for a show once and I used this video as my touch point. Just found it in my computer and thought I'd comment and thank the creator!
I appreciate your posting this video, especially for the reason you stated in the first 40 seconds.
glad to know there are some original Atlanta southern accents out there. Very beautiful. I'm from Atlanta too. Born in Copperhill, TN but parents moved to Atlanta when I was 3. I consider myself an Atlantan.
Would you say that Georgia has more of a twang then a drawl? How many Southern Georgia accents are there?
Hisgirl777 I am from Hall County Georgia. I didn't realize how many Georgia accents there are! Would you say Paula Deen and Nancy Grace accents are pretty much the same?
Monkeyland03 That's a good catch on your part! They were born about a hundred miles apart, as a crow flies, although Miss Paula has had a lot of low-country influence. Love Hall county!
Hisgirl777 I would say you sound more like Nancy Grace instead of Paula Deen. : )
Copperhill??!! I spent many summers in McCaysville & Blue Ridge. Still love to sneak up that way. Hope to retire in Fannin one day.
I'm from the Atlanta area, myself. I'm in my late 30s. You definitely have a typical southern accent found in the metro Atlanta and north Georgia.
You're right about the accent waning around Atlanta. This has to do with the impact of the transplants on the area. I notice that people in their twenties and teens are far less likely to have typical southern accents, whereas those from about age 35 up still retain a noticeable southern accent, with senior citizens having the thickest.
On the outskirts of metro Atlanta, however, the southern accent is noticeable in even the young.
It is a buggy. This term is common from western Virginia, western North Carolina, eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, upstate South Carolina, north Georgia, and north Alabama.
‘iron’, as in ‘I’m gonna iron the clothes.’ I’m not gonna iron the clothes. I hate to iron. But if I did I would say I was going to iron.
Sorry, mom and daddy.
I say: 'Let's go up the hill.' He says: 'hill hill hill hill.'
i shared this with my friend from Bulgaria
blew his mind. language is fun :]
thanks for making this
I really enjoyed your video. You have a good ear for accents and your descriptions were very charming and informative. Thanks
Thank you so much! Love the phrases you shared -Fascinating!
I live & grew up in Oklahoma. My speech is a cross between you & your husband’s. Years ago my nephew was at our house & our neighbors had relatives from California visiting. They had a boy about my nephew’s age so they were outside playing together. When we getting ready to leave my nephew looked at him & said “we’re fixing to go”. That kid had such a puzzled look & asked him what he said again. So he repeated it. Same look on his face! Poor kid! After the third time I looked at him & said “we’re leaving now” His response was “ooohhh, ok”. It was quite funny at the time.
I've always heard Oklahomans went west with the Cherokees along the Trail of Tears, hence, they sound to this day like Tennesseeans, North Carolinians, and Georgians. Reba McEntire is a good example.
you have such a beautiful voice! so soothing and elegant. kind of sad how the southern accent is fading
Especially fading in metro Atlanta area
Enjoyed this vid very much. Born (Crawford Long Hospital) and raised in Atlanta (Little Five Points.) Back when it was a still a Southern city.
By the time I left in Atlanta in the 90s, it was very unusual to meet anyone who was actually born and raised there. Atlanta of the 60s - Gone With The Wind.
See y'all later, homegirl.
Crawford Long! I haven't hear that in a month of Sundays! Do you remember how, in the 60s, the local theaters would show Gone With the Wind every single year??
I was born at Piedmont Hospital in 1966. You're correct. Atlanta IS gone with the wind.
Seeing people in the comments loving the Georgian accent gives me a sense of pride I've never felt before. I looked up this video to realize what I sound like to other people. Very eye-opening.
Love the accent! Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing! I'm studying the Georgia accent and this is really helpful. You have a beautiful voice/accent! The most surreal part was when you switched to pronouncing things the way I (a Californian) would consider typical 🙃.
I'm from Britain and I absolutely love the Southern American accent, especially on a woman; it is incredibly sexy. Women with Southern accents always sound softly spoken and feminine. It really is very beautiful sounding, especially when you compare it to the harshness of New Yorkers; it is worlds apart.
I’ve heard that the southern accent is the closest to English accent in the US
MrAtlfan21 that’s true, both do things like r-erasure and removing syllables
Robin depends what type of southern accent. The more “mountain” accent (the kind myself and family have) can be pretty harsh haha
Why, thank ya kindleh. ;-)
Thank you so much - I'm listening and talking with you the whole time for a dialect study. This was incredibly helpful!!
I was glad to hear this. I was born in Atlanta and grew up in Decatur. THIS is the way me and my people sound. it drives me crazy to hear a fake southern accent, or Atlanta accent rather.
It sounds familiar because you and I grew up in the same town. :-)
Born and raised in Georgia.. I don't have a southern accent :(
James Cowan No no no, it’s about how your friends talk. Not even your family, your friends, as you grew up.
Me too. I feel Ashamed
Relatable! Grew up in Rock Hill, SC (commonly known as Rock HEEL) and I've never had that SC accent.
@@CalebJNelson True. I'm from Belgium and my parents always talked very standard Dutch with me, but I learned my local Flemish dialect from my friends and rn I'm so glad I learned it like this, cause you really can't learn an accent or dialect with books or something. Now I can speak the dialect like a native, even though i didnt 'learn' it anywhere and certainly not from my parents.
Same haha
I've been reading a couple of novels by Karen White set in Georgia, and i wanted to be able to 'hear' the characters' voices - thank you so much, that was lovely, and exactly what I needed.
"the channel changer" 😂
I'm from Toronto but woke up thinking about accents (for some reason, maybe dreaming of it, lol) and this is the first one that came to my mind to look up. I used to visit Georgia on driving trips with my mom and brother growing up. I think Georgia has the sweetest accent. Thank you for sharing this. Thinking about visiting again this summer :) Great video!
Aww..thank you!
It's therapeutic damn near hearing this voice.
I'm from Cobb County (Powder Springs) but my mom and grandparents are from Floyd County and your accent fits in nicely with how we talk.
I was born in Gainesville, GA. Now I live in Braselton. I live Northeast of Atlanta. This video is really cool since I know a lot of these words and how they are pronounced.
Thanks for your video I used to live in Anderson South Carolina I love the southern accent
One of the most endearing thing about my Georgian gf is her accent. It even carries to her second language we speak with each other.
Yes finally someone that got the 'what is it called when it's raining while the sun is shining' question correct. Must be a Georgia thing? I'm a GA native for many generations back and I've always been told that it's the devil is beating his wife behind a door. You do have an authentic Atlanta accent. Sad to see it changing.
Brandi Weidner "behind a door"? Of course, what else could be the reason ?
Brandi J-I'm from NC and have heard "the devil is beating his wife" thing too (but not the part about behind a door though).
The devil beating his wife is a Southern thing period. I'm from Alabama and my Mom said this before when she was younger. They may use this same slang in Texas too.
Very well done! I'm from Decatur, a true baby-boomer. My parents were Southern...Dad also grew up in Decatur. Aside from a few word differences (not accent differences) you sound just like everybody I grew up with, including the families from Buckhead, Southwest High, and all over DeKalb County.
I grew up in Decatur but sadly I don't have an accent
I grew up in 30306 near Decatur and I agree. I was even born in Buckhead and my aunts and uncles went to school there. Even my mother graduated nearby at West Fulton H.S. in 1964.
Atlanta boy here loving this. I’ve spent my whole life after high school living in Northern cities so listening to OP is great.
I live in northwest Georgia now but grew up down in Holly Springs, Georgia and this accent is spot on correct for the piedmont area of Georgia
I'm from Liverpool in England. I find this accent on a woman is very soothing.
So fascinating! Love your soft way of speaking. Thanks for sharing, so many interesting terms I hadn't heard of!
This lady needs to be one of the voice options for the GPS.
Hahaha, oh my goodness, this is hilarious! I can hear it now! "What in the sam hill! Turn this car the blue blazes around and git back on the road, girl!"
I'm fixin ta give this here a thumbs up jest all to pieces! from da By -You State y'all!
I love listening!!! I live right outside Atlanta too
I'm from Georgia and this is amazing! thanks for sharing it with us!
Interested in this accent after watching “insatiable” on netflix!
"The devil is beatin' his wife"??? LOL that's one I never heard before!
We say the same in hungarian.
Thank you. Very useful in remembering the North Georgia accent for an upcoming role in Driving Miss Daisy. Really takes me back to the days of visiting family in Helen and Cleveland.
The word salmon is used several times in the play. I am totally putting the "L" back into the word. Great tip. Thanks!
Chiming in here from West Virginia.. I love the Georgia accent, one of my favorites. There is something so charming about it in general to me.
Thank you for this ☺️ my children thought I'd lost my mind when I said co cola. I knew I wasn't the only one 🤣
Lovely accent, lovely voice. Great job!
I'm from Georgia and i approve this message
Yes, yes this is spot on! This is my Atlanta accent.
'Channel changer' is brilliant. That's exactly what it does. I love it.
I grew up in Northwest GA, and currently live close to Atlanta. Her accent reminds me of pretty much every one of my teachers growing up. My family is originally Southern California, so my accent is mostly Californian, but I can always recognize a north Georgia/ Atlanta accent
I was born here in Dekalb Georgia in the 1960's .my family has been here for six generations.You sound just like my Aunt ...my mom's sister 💖 I miss her.I have a lot of people ask were am I from? Or ...I love your Accent. I still have my Georgia Accent and I sound just like that...My husband is from Kentucky and a different accent all together...💖😎
Dina, you and I were raised in the same county. :-)
I'm from the valley of California or central California and we have similar accent and u hear it distinctively actually pretty cool I love this accent
I love Atlanta
My Daddy was from Blackshear. He pronounced the letter "I" almost like an "o" or "ah"...His wife, my mother, was not Irene but "Ahrene".
TheDesertwalker goodness gracious...that’s my hometown!
I'm from Waycross. Can confirm that's an accent down there
We say “daddy long-legs” in England too. It’s another example of how southern American dialects are the closest American dialects to British English.
Love hearing another native Atlantan speak.
I love this! I lived in Atlanta while I was growing up, but most of my friends were from New York. Its nice to hear this.
Will vouch for the authenticity! I was born and raised in Georgia to parents who were also. I've tried my best to train myself out of the accent but listening to her talk I got flashbacks to hearing my mother talk! Every time I talk to my parents or someone else with a heavy southern accent I always switch back subconsciously lol.
I love you! Your husband is saying everything wrong!😂😂😂
Thanks for this! I have a last-minute voice over audition, and I needed to hear a real Atlanta accent! This is fantastic.
I'm from Deep East Texas and I grew up saying all those except the very last. Of course, our accents are different.
thank you, im moving to Georgia soon, and i wanted to prepare for the accents, im from New York
South GA here: CRAY-on. CARA-mel.
I'm from south GA too. I noticed a few differences. I say PEE-can too. I find it fascinating that different regions of the same state have different accents. I live in north FL now and the accent is different than south GA.
Very true!!!
I am a Georgian woman with a southern accent. I can confirm this woman’s accent is accurate! A lot of Georgians I’ve met also call their fathers “Deddy” instead of “Daddy” (I also call my dad this) and they call their mothers “Mama”. One more thing about Georgians pronunciation is the word “Ramen” like the noodles, they pronounce is “Raymon” like the name “Raymond”.
Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind talked in Georgian accent, right?
Actually, the actress who portrayed the character, was British. Her accent was classic 'Hollywood fake southern accent'.
@@Hisgirl777FoldFittedSheet That fake Hollywood accent is actually based on real non-rhotic southern accents! Such accents are mainly spoken by the elderly, but some younger people have non-rhotic southern accents too.
@@suthinscientist9801 Agreed, at least in that Leigh sounded more southern than many actual southerners, like Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias. She had rid herself of her Smyrna, GA accent when she went to NY to act, even taking elocution lessons. Then, she was cast in Steel Magnolias and sounded FAKER than all the others except Dolly, who is of course an Appalachian and has always been proud of her accent. Crazy Hollywood, huh?
I came from watching an Arizona accent tag (where I come from) and decided to start comparing to states some of my old buddies come from originally. What I found interesting is the questions answers on "what would you say to address a group of people" He said, "Well... Hi? Hello?" and wasn't too sure and I agreed in the moment, I also couldn't think of anything better than imagining myself saying Hello, to the group as a whole. But hearing her answer "Hey y'all" felt natural and also almost autocompleted in my head. Like the accent allowed me to understand the question differently, and answer differently in the moment lol, took me by surprise. cool
Crazy, the region I up grew up in you don't ever think you have an accent to out of state people. I grew up in southern California. I guess we have an accent to people out of state. The Atlanta Georgia accent is my Favorite in all of the U. S.
You sound just like me. Dont forget how we pronounce that famous road in Atlanta.. its.. Ponce de LE on (-:
Suzie-Q People prononce it other ways?? I had no clue
In Australia we also have "daddy long legs" and "rollie pollies" (or "butcher boys")
Atlantan here, we have daddy long legs and Rollie Pollies too!
I love this. I'm a 39m who grew up in Clayton and Rockdale counties, and then moved all over the South from my early teenage years until 10 years ago when I settled in East Tennessee.
You sound like my family and most of the people I grew up around. BTW, it's not Co'cola, it's just "What kinda cokes ya want?"
HalleluYAH, love the Georgian accents.
Love the ‘o’ sound when she says ‘folks’!
My favourite accent and I'm Welsh from the UK.
And YOUR accent is MY favorite!
Eight lain tah joorja.
I love it.
A beautiful accent from a beautiful southern belle
Gosh i haven't been back for years so this is refreshing to hear...
The "Crayons" and "Oli" were wildd pronunciations😂
