Kind words, thank you. I'd not thought of that, and how when playing a CEO or a king - or any character who thinks he's one of those - a care in movement may help some of the lines make sense! John.
Hee-he! Well kind of you to suggest I'm speaking well, and do remember that no accent matters very much nowadays, everyone speaks differently - ! - what matter is that we should all try to speak clearly and with some kindness in our voices (something I frequently forget to do, I'm afraid in the madness of Covid), but that's all anyone really needs in their voice. John Windsor-Cunningham
@@NewYorkActingCoach Growing up on the other side of the canal (Nederland) I was used to the British accent (that's what we learned in school) but the films on the "telly" were mostly American with Dutch subtitles. Still, I automatically fall back to the British accent. It seems to come more naturally to me and I've always liked the way it sounded. Thank you sir. Stay safe and sound.
@@NewYorkActingCoach Hi, love the video, I had a question, since this video was made for actors, can I still apply this to my own accent as a non-actor?
@@cupcakemcsparklebutt9051 I realize your question is a joke, but feel I should say that in the modern world all accents are welcomed, and what matters is that people speak clearly and with some friendliness. That applies to actors an accents as well. John Windsor-Cunningham
Yes, I know what you mean. It's strange that we should 'like' feeling part of a country, and enjoy certain British phrases and sounds, - it's something to do with wanting to be part of a community, I suppose, and of course no accent matters nowadays, - even with American actors trying to do usually not-very-good British accents - what matters is that we speak clearly and with some kindness n our voice sometimes.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like that. I think it's just the way the accent sounds to Americans, it sounds as if it has an attitude, but honestly it doesn't, it's just the accent ( ! ) But thanks for pointing it out. John Windsor-Cunningham
Thanks. I keep feeling I should 're-do' it, to make it a bit more friendly, but when I see people find it of use still I don't! And I think my more recent video, called just VOICE COACH - which is on my website if it doesn't come up on a UA-cam 'search' - is quite useful too, as long as people don't think about it too much. Anyway, best back to you, John.
@@impishere3018 That sounds fine. I would only add that nowadays we don't care what accent a person has, what people care about is whether a person speaks clearly - and perhaps with a note of kindness in their voice. That is all that actors or anyone needs, and all that anyone wants to hear !. Best back to you. John.
@@thesunman Thanks! I OWE my wish to be "alive" to finding work that I personally feel is of use. After a hopeless early school-life , I went to dozens of classes to learn how to do a job I loved,, and I would do if I were dying of an awful disease! So it's quite easy really . J.
danielsjohnson Nah this accent is only one, but the most widely known, of the many ‘British accents’. Even the term doesn’t make sense as there are 3 other countries in Britain that aren’t England. But Americans are out here just generalising it all as ‘British’
Tony Toons no no it is fine, I do suppose Australia is both. Do make sure the tea is English breakfast, it’s quite delightful however do consider something else for afternoon tea.
Hmm ! Kind of you to say it's brilliant. If you want to see me at my 'less' brilliant you might like to glance at my other website, ( made even more for Americans - ! - ) and just look at video number ' 7 ' it's Madenglishman.com Thanks again. John Windsor-Cunningham
No One it’s pronounced “ou-ps” and “saw-re” In American(it’s quite similar to british actually and this is not the actual spelling I’m just spelling the sound of it* if that makes sense😅
Anyone who also happens to needing to learn an accent and is latino/hispanic, scottish is a pretty good one. It has tapped R sounds that should be easy for us to pronounce.
After watching this as an American with an American accent. I’m literally reading all the comments with a British accent 😂 also typing this and reading along in a British accent
As an American who’s watched British television from a very young age, this old dude made me sit at attention like a boss, and I feel like I’ve learned more from him than any other teacher or professor I’ve had up to this point in my life.
If you want to see the very slightly 'funnier' side of my work you might look at my other website (MadEnglishman.com) and just watch Video number ' 7 '. Thanks for kind words. John Windsor-Cunningham
@@NewYorkActingCoach Just saw the video, I want to become an actor and... I'm from Argentina, hopefully I can make it happen without hesitating at the exact moment.
@@nadiaramirez9293 You may be able to enjoy it as a hobby, while doing another job, and not have the worries of a thousand auditions, and expensive classes, OR you may be serious for a while but that means working every day for hours on acting BECAUSE you will be competing with others for jobs who HAVE decided to spend every day they can manage working on scripts and getting 'ready'. It is incredibly hard, but if you try seriously then you will find that you can't stand it or that you don't mind the hardship . . you will "know" if you want to continue. But you have to start working hard now probably. Find classes online. Not with me, I'm not pushing myself AT ALL - you need to work with others of your own age, not with one coach. John Windsor-Cunningham
@@NewYorkActingCoach You've convinced me, John, guess I'm going to find some acting classes and maybe apply for a drama University. Thank you for the huge advice!
Thanks for kind words. And yes, being able to 'enjoy' an accent can make a part more fun to play, and to remember, of course, that nobody nowadays cares about listening to an accent for long, what they want - and you're probably already doing this as well - is to know what their lines really means, that "Good Morning everyone" - for example - may really mean "Don't I look wonderful" ( ! ) John
Thank you, yes, and there are videos I've put up this year so this old one is not the last ( ! ) - and more to come soon, so all well, and thanks for kind words. John Windsor-Cunningham
@alphadawn2015 lennon You are right of course, - there are dozens more British accents, but this video is for American actors, and is the UK accent which casting directors in the USA most want for the hundreds of productions of Shakespeare, Stoppard, Shaw and Wilde (yes I know he was Irish) in the USA each year. If people want the wonderful Northern, Welsh - or other accents - they can come for coaching, but this one is what they most ask for. Sorry if it caused any offense. John Windsor-Cunningham
You may regret your kind words if you look at my other website ( MadEnglishman.com ) and just look at Video number ' 7 ' ( ! ) Best wishes anyway, John Windsor-Cunningham
Going along with this the r section of this video goes against everything I was taught on how to speak right, so it was quite a mental struggle to attempt.
my dads a Brit but I’m raised in the us so I have a bit of an accent but I also just couldn’t pronounce my r’s right so it’s like yeah I’m British but I also just can’t talk right
I’m German and learned to speak in an American accent but ever since consuming a lot of British media it has become very mixed. This helps so much to go for a full British accent
@@john_titor1 I think that he mostly over-pronounces the letters after the r’s. I’m not sure if that’s true with all of the words though; I’m only through half of the video.
@@john_titor1 he probably overpronounces the rs to demonstrate the difference, seeing as this is a lesson for an English accent, so he was showing the exaggerated difference
Thanks for very kind words! I still think that - nowadays - an accent doesn't need to be perfect, that all accents are a mixture, and that audiences and friends DON'T REALLY CARE what accent we have: and that what matters is that we speak clearly, with some touch of kindness in our voice, and - if we are actors - with the real meaning BEHIND any lines. That is what makes a star. J.
@@NewYorkActingCoach Wow! Profound I agree that our specific dialect is of little concern compared to the value clear speaking and kindness in our voice. Thank you for you excellent dialect coaching and brilliant observation on what makes us a star, John!
Thank you! I coach privately as well on skype or in person in New YOrk, and charge as little as possible Details and 'Contact' page on my website. But not saying you need it! John (www.Windsor-Cunningham.com)
+John Windsor-Cunningham I am not a professional actor, but I am kind of curious about accents and languages. So to me educational UA-cam videos is really the preferable format. Why don't you start a Patreon account? I think that would be nice way to support your channel.

Best wishes, John (please, please dont reply here, as I've had over 300 today already, nice though they are).
Having had a very 'nasal' Dutch accent for many years, I always wondered why people told me I did not sound British whenever I tried to, despite spending a tremendous amount of time with my British friends. When I saw your videos 4 years ago, I naturally picked up the accent after just 20 minutes, never being able to revert back to my old one again. My friends would often ask me if I am sure I am still the same person, baffled by the change! Sometimes my accent dwindles into an accent soup again after spending time around the Dutch again, but I always come back to your videos to refresh my accent again and it always helps. Thank you so much for these videos!
Well we each have our own 'way' of speaking, and you seem to have found yours very interestingly. I always say that accents don't matter and that the only important thing is for us to speak clearly and with some kindness, in our voice, but you remind me that what is more important is to be happy about it : so thanks for that! John
Same here. English is my 3rd language. And I was always passionate about languages. I especially loved English and various dialects and accents. I think I have pretty much mastered american accent. I love it-it is smooth, flowy and soft. But nowadays I have been attempting british accent, which I already love! It is just a lot of fun!

I would only add that nowadays we don't care what accent a person has, what people care about is whether a person speaks clearly - and perhaps with a note of kindness in their voice. That is all that actors or anyone needs, and all that anyone wants to hear !. Best back to you. John.
@@NewYorkActingCoachcongrats on being alive
@@thesunman Thanks! I OWE my wish to be "alive" to finding work that I personally feel is of use. After a hopeless early school-life , I went to dozens of classes to learn how to do a job I loved,, and I would do if I were dying of an awful disease! So it's quite easy really . J.
my heart was mortally hurt when you hurled that marker at me
So I’m a British person trying to learn my own accent. What is wrong with me
SAME
As an American, I assume you consume more American media than you do British media and that changed your accent to be more American.
danielsjohnson as someone from the north of England the accent in the video for me is probably not far of being as different as it is for you
danielsjohnson Nah this accent is only one, but the most widely known, of the many ‘British accents’. Even the term doesn’t make sense as there are 3 other countries in Britain that aren’t England. But Americans are out here just generalising it all as ‘British’
@@danielsjohnson We dont see that much American media, definitely alot more british
I'm preparing tea and getting ready to conquer an island.
You know, getting in the mood.
I liked your comment then realised. You're not talking about invading Britain are you?

As an American who’s watched British television from a very young age, this old dude made me sit at attention like a boss, and I feel like I’ve learned more from him than any other teacher or professor I’ve had up to this point in my life.
Does that mean u grew up with was bbc, cbbc and cbeebies👀 bc if u did then ur an elite american
This guy is funny and teaches well
If you want to see the very slightly 'funnier' side of my work you might look at my other website (MadEnglishman.com) and just watch Video number ' 7 '. Thanks for kind words. John Windsor-Cunningham
John Windsor-Cunningham legend
@@NewYorkActingCoach Just saw the video, I want to become an actor and... I'm from Argentina, hopefully I can make it happen without hesitating at the exact moment.
@@nadiaramirez9293 You may be able to enjoy it as a hobby, while doing another job, and not have the worries of a thousand auditions, and expensive classes, OR you may be serious for a while but that means working every day for hours on acting BECAUSE you will be competing with others for jobs who HAVE decided to spend every day they can manage working on scripts and getting 'ready'. It is incredibly hard, but if you try seriously then you will find that you can't stand it or that you don't mind the hardship . . you will "know" if you want to continue. But you have to start working hard now probably. Find classes online. Not with me, I'm not pushing myself AT ALL - you need to work with others of your own age, not with one coach. John Windsor-Cunningham
@@NewYorkActingCoach You've convinced me, John, guess I'm going to find some acting classes and maybe apply for a drama University. Thank you for the huge advice!
When you try to read the comments in a British accent
YES! lmaoo I thought I was the only one who did this
man you feel this
OMG LOL YOURE RIGHT
Omg nooo I was just doing that when I came to this comment lol
Now I wish I could just switch to a British accent all the time because the american one sounds ugly now😢
I dont know how I ended up here but I'm not upset
Thanks for kind words. And yes, being able to 'enjoy' an accent can make a part more fun to play, and to remember, of course, that nobody nowadays cares about listening to an accent for long, what they want - and you're probably already doing this as well - is to know what their lines really means, that "Good Morning everyone" - for example - may really mean "Don't I look wonderful" ( ! ) John
this came up in my recommended and i’m glad i watched it. i hope john is doing okay these days.
Thank you, yes, and there are videos I've put up this year so this old one is not the last ( ! ) - and more to come soon, so all well, and thanks for kind words. John Windsor-Cunningham

The man has spoken, he's is okay!! **audience claps**
@@stuartbaker1181 Im laughing so hard at this
@alphadawn2015 lennon You are right of course, - there are dozens more British accents, but this video is for American actors, and is the UK accent which casting directors in the USA most want for the hundreds of productions of Shakespeare, Stoppard, Shaw and Wilde (yes I know he was Irish) in the USA each year. If people want the wonderful Northern, Welsh - or other accents - they can come for coaching, but this one is what they most ask for. Sorry if it caused any offense. John Windsor-Cunningham

@@NewYorkActingCoach that was (r)eally unexpected
my god i thought i was going to watch only a bit, yet here i am after the whole video, it was quite entertaining
UA-cam just randomly recommended this to me but I'm glad it did. The voice in my head can now read the Harry Potter books in proper British accent.
SAME
Same

It was fun not being able to pronounce my r’s right as a kid so I’d end up getting asked if I was British whenever I met someone new.
Going along with this the r section of this video goes against everything I was taught on how to speak right, so it was quite a mental struggle to attempt.
Dirge I always had rolled r’s, but then my English teacher told me to practice my r and now my English r is just... gone
Same here, though it wasn’t intentional at the time.
my dads a Brit but I’m raised in the us so I have a bit of an accent but I also just couldn’t pronounce my r’s right so it’s like yeah I’m British but I also just can’t talk right
The english way is the right way
Thanks, David Bowie.
I just sound like snape
me too :(
Same rip :(
Everything was going well, then boom! We get to the r's and all of the sudden my southern accent comes out. And it wont stop.
@@mshaman86 same and I'm not even southern ಥ‿ಥ
I’m German and learned to speak in an American accent but ever since consuming a lot of British media it has become very mixed. This helps so much to go for a full British accent
Hmm, well if you ever want a good american accent, just know that he heavily overpronounces the r's.
@@john_titor1 I think that he mostly over-pronounces the letters after the r’s. I’m not sure if that’s true with all of the words though; I’m only through half of the video.
@@zetjet9901 Nah, he definitely over pronounces the r's. It's pretty obvious to a native american-english speaker.
@@john_titor1 he probably overpronounces the rs to demonstrate the difference, seeing as this is a lesson for an English accent, so he was showing the exaggerated difference
I have a North-Eastern American accent and the R thing is what we do here, too. It really depends on where in the US you are from.
I love how all the comments are within the last 2-3 months but the video is from 2013
and thats on the youtube algorithm
This is exceptionally good dialect / accent coaching. Thanks, John! I really your dignity and style!😀🇬🇧
Thanks for very kind words! I still think that - nowadays - an accent doesn't need to be perfect, that all accents are a mixture, and that audiences and friends DON'T REALLY CARE what accent we have: and that what matters is that we speak clearly, with some touch of kindness in our voice, and - if we are actors - with the real meaning BEHIND any lines. That is what makes a star. J.
@@NewYorkActingCoach Wow! Profound I agree that our specific dialect is of little concern compared to the value clear speaking and kindness in our voice. Thank you for you excellent dialect coaching and brilliant observation on what makes us a star, John!
Best accent coaching I've seen on UA-cam so far
Thank you! I coach privately as well on skype or in person in New YOrk, and charge as little as possible Details and 'Contact' page on my website. But not saying you need it! John (www.Windsor-Cunningham.com)
+John Windsor-Cunningham I am not a professional actor, but I am kind of curious about accents and languages. So to me educational UA-cam videos is really the preferable format.
Why don't you start a Patreon account? I think that would be nice way to support your channel.
I rarely see messages here. If you need a reply (not saying that you do - ! ) please use the 'Contact' page on my website or my direct email. I coach on skype and not just actors, if you do need specific help.
Just thought I should say. Best wishes, John (please, please dont reply here, as I've had over 300 today already, nice though they are).

Having had a very 'nasal' Dutch accent for many years, I always wondered why people told me I did not sound British whenever I tried to, despite spending a tremendous amount of time with my British friends.
When I saw your videos 4 years ago, I naturally picked up the accent after just 20 minutes, never being able to revert back to my old one again. My friends would often ask me if I am sure I am still the same person, baffled by the change!
Sometimes my accent dwindles into an accent soup again after spending time around the Dutch again, but I always come back to your videos to refresh my accent again and it always helps.
Thank you so much for these videos!
Well we each have our own 'way' of speaking, and you seem to have found yours very interestingly. I always say that accents don't matter and that the only important thing is for us to speak clearly and with some kindness, in our voice, but you remind me that what is more important is to be happy about it : so thanks for that! John
