As an American voice actor, honing cockney skills is a serious undertaking that most of my collegues won't even attempt (if they try anything "British", they often settle for Posh and don't go further).

I moved to New Zealand at 16 from London, my speech was constantly corrected. I now live in Australia and they don’t mind how you speak and I’ve found my accent returning :)
I used to live in London and fascinated with Cockney accent but didn't have chance to learn further. Your lesson on UA-cam has helped a lot. Thank you.
As a budding student of accents and quirks of the English language, this is gold. If you haven’t already, I’d love to see more on the Cockney accent from a native Cockney speaker. Most videos are done by someone who isn’t even from the region. You’re a native speaker, if you will, and you break it down so easily. Thank you!
I simply LOVE your accent! Music for my ears... besides you're amazing teaching! Very educational video... Although I've seen lots about cockney, this is one of the best! Very glad to having known you. Cheers from Argentina Sir.
A.O.A!I am from Pakistan and really this video is very nice and this video cleared many things.I learnt cockney many times from different websites but this video really helped me.Thank you
Wow, dude! That's just great !! I'm from Brazil and I've been teaching American accent for 45 years. Now I came across a very interesting matter! Now I'm aware of what's inside this accent! Thanks for sharing!
I love it. Having been born and bred in south London, or Saaf as I would say in the past, this is just brilliant. I'm developing a career in voiceovers, so I'm just about to put a bit of a Cockney demo on my website. Thanks so much for this.
Thank for this useful video. I've heard that accent when i've spoken with many english and thanks to your explation i can now understand it. I think that this is very caracteristic of UK and sounds well english.
Just a quick note: in the word, "Happy"- ('appy), a lot of broad Londoners- (meself included), tend to glottal the double 'P' as well as dropping the 'H', and we also do that with anything with a 'k' or 'ck' sound in the middle of the word.
Hi Paul, I was asked to do a publican in a theatre production once. I chose to do a Cockney accent and the audience loved it. I remember as quoted by saying, "oi!! Who let that geezer in? He's caused nothing but Barney Rubble the last time time he was in."
I think that there is a fish on my ear!!!! I really love this subject! Thanks a lot my buddy! I had written a paper about the glottal stop, and I have to talk about the cockney accent. I think that your video may help me... thanks a lot!
Hi Paul! Thanks for the lesson, I am Brazilian, and since a baby, I study English, but I came here bcs, I want to learn very hard the Cockney Accent, and your lesson really helped, and yes, I would luv more examples!😁😁😁😁😁
Hi professor Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance. I love your way of teaching and excellent explication. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. Your Student from Algeria.
Words with 'ou' in 'em can also be pronounced with more of an 'ah' sound, so 'down' would sound like a more drawn-out version of the name, 'Dan'- ('daan'), 'town' would sound like a more exaggerated version of 'tan'- ('taan'), 'south' would become 'saaf', 'house' would become 'aahse'- (like a more exaggerated version of 'ass'), and 'about' would become 'abaah''.
Thank you! That was very informative. I'm new to acting and I've got a bit part in a community theater and I'd like to get it right. I think you've covered almost all my parts!
I'm also teaching English abroad (in Korea). There's irony that some of my friends from Britain have, at times, made fun of the fact that we Americans often write "alright" instead of "all right", and now I've finally seen a Brit use it this way. Although, I thought it was silly since Brits never think words like (the aforementioned) "although" or "altogether" to be mistakes and they're formed the same way. :)
I tend to glottalize double 'Ps' in words such as 'kippers' and 'slippers', and I often pronounce 'K' and 'CK' sounds, in words such as 'drinking', more like a glottal 'T' than a 'K'- ('dring-in'). I had a mate back home, called 'Jackie', who done the same with the 'CK' in her name.
Fantastic video! Major fan of the accent and always enjoy entertaining others with accents. This video def was informative and helpful! Thanks from one Paul to another!
Hi Paul, thank you for the lesson. It's amazing and incredibly interesting. There's a striking difference between standard English and Cockney. I can say for sure it'll be much easier to understand it, especially in listening parts of exams because there's no possibility to ask to repeat in case it's not clear for a non-native listener. Seems that we don't have anything like this in Russia.
+snowdropick You're welcome :) I think English learners really underestimate the variety of accents we have in the English speaking world :) Funnily enough, many audio CDs try to put on an accent... usually very badly :))))
As I try to get through the practice phrases, I realize that there are few things that I as a New Englander tend to do with my own speech patterns that cockney also does. Namely, the non-rhotic R's and the vowely L's. Though my T sounds tend to get softened to a D or dropped altogether, but without the full glottal stop that cockney does.
I'm a Londoner. Another tip with a Cockney accent is that "ou" (ow) sometimes turns into "ah" or "aah" e.g. about is ab-aaht; round is r-aand; shout is sh-aht (glottal t if there's a t after the ou). Also a note on 'girl' in Paul's first example. A Cockney wouldn't pronounce it as correctly as Paul does. It's more like 'gew', with the e sound as in gel or bell and the l on the end closer to a w. However, if you're not a Cockney, trying to say this could sound very strange. That's probably why Paul left it out!
Спасибо. Очень познавательно! Качественный урок. Thank you for the great lesson. Excellent. This year on vacation I talked with a great guy from Britain. He spoke in pure Cockney. Now I can go through all the circles of hell and torture. Because the most terrible torment is over.
Amazing teacher and a lovely personality. More lighting and better sound quality with a mic, good head positioning in the camera frame, and your videos will stand out
Hahahaha! I loved the part when you said that your cockney self comes out when you're drunk! After that, I could only suscribe to your channel, mate. Cheers from Argentina!
I reckon you're an impeccable teacher lovely way to illustrate

This is awesome! Thank you simplifying this!
macdz no problem)
Brilliant, well said. As I'm also a cockney I'd just like to say that we pronounce girl as gil.
you forget "now, cow, how" they're pronounced like "na, ca, a".
well-done Paul. Many thanks to you.
“If you want to hear me speaking Cockney, get me drunk.” Well, since you asked so nicely... 😜
loved it! thanks!

You'll blend into the London world easily))))

Nice explanation, thanks!
fank you mr.Paul... I'm in love with cockney accent and definitely gonna make you bloody drunk.
I started learning cockney for a month And I'm doing quite good
My dad used to speak cockney to me every day,this made me laugh debs xx
singing God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Hark the Harold Angeles is a good way to practice cockney accents.
Nice one Paul.
i would like you to upgrade another video about this amazing accent.!! thank you.!!
For me the Ths like Fs, Vs and Ds and the Ls like Ws make English easier to pronounce.
Maybe, but it sounds terrible to everyone else in the UK. It sounds uneducated and lazy!
Your video it's very nice, could you do more like this?
Hahahaha! I loved the part when you said that your cockney self comes out when you're drunk! After that, I could only suscribe to your channel, mate.
