  • Matt shows you how to do an Australian/Aussie accent in under two minutes! The Australian accent is all about the tone - making sure things move around and getting the vowels to fall in line. There's a fine line between Australian and Kiwi - and there's a whole load of variation in Australian accents. But we've only got two minutes, so here's the best Aussie we can squeeze into that time! Enjoy!

    I'm a Canadian living five years already in Melbourne. I cannot for the life of me make the Aussie vowel sounds - I find it hard to even hear what exactly is going on with the umlauts. When I try to do an Australian accent, I sound like a jolly swagman.

      Trust me, you naturally pick it up when you're there. If you come back to canada, ppl would say you have an australian accent. My great uncle moved there a while back (before the 90s for sure, but I don't exactly know when) & I think he has an australian accent but really it's 50% canadian, 40% australian, & 10% gay. Social mirroring is actually huge. I speak canadian french (not quebec french) but if I were to be in france I pick up more of a french accent, if I were to be in quebec I pick up a quebecois accent, & while I'm over here I speak with... well tbh I speak with a slight ontario accent bc most of my teachers were from ontario.
      Bon chance!

      @@dominionjay6332 Great reply - made me smile. But no, after five years here, no accent. I've gone back to Canada recently and no one has remarked that I've picked up any Aussie accent. By the way, my mother's side is French Canadian - but not Quebecois, so I know the Canadian French accent you speak of. It's a lovely accent - precise and smooth. I used to love hearing my relatives speaking French. My Grandfather was direct from France, but my Grandma was French-Canadian on the prairies. And yes, Ontario English accent is slightly different from SK hoser-like accent. :) Thanks for your response.

    Everything is great except the way you say A in Matt etc. It's one that almost every non-Aussie gets wrong. It is not like an E sound, so Matt does not become Mett. The way you say it in your normal accent is closer to the way any Aussie says it. I've legitimately never heard Cat said like Cet.

    What do you mean by the "Shorten, widens/becomes larger, moves from back to front/ much thinner, wider, etc" descriptions? Do you have a video on that.

    • @MattPocock
      @MattPocock  7 років тому

      Mostly I'm referring to movements of the lips and tongue. Wider lips have a resonential effect, as do es a pushed-forward or dropped tongue. See if you can interpret the descriptions into physical changes in the mouth.
