Etiquette expert reviews Emily Blunt's accent in Mary Poppins Returns

Practically perfect in every way? Well, yes, but not when it comes to the British accent.
Etiquette coach William Hanson reviews Emily Blunt’s accent as the famous flying nanny in the latest Mary Poppins film from Disney.

One's accent while singing is often different than while spoken.

I've said this before - William Hanson is a national treasure on an international scale!

[@TDW8964]

I would imagine, especially singing musical theatre style, that the focus was on a more neutral sound on words for clarity of the lyrics so a wide global audience could understand. Musical theatre songs tend to be a bit more brash on vowels especially when many lyrics are fit into the phrase, overall this score is lyric heavy.

I think you're wonderful and that ending REALLY tickled me for some reason. 😂

[@noemibernal4882]

If they ever make another movie, they absolutely need to have you as a consultant. Thanks, very enjoyable! 😄

[@rachblackburn2389]

William that ending is hilarious , so you darling 😂😂😂

[@CJCregg884]

So what's interesting is that the moments you point out often happens during singing, I wonder if it has to do with her technique there

[@bethm203]

I am sure William enjoyed making that ending, he will be dining out on that for weeks.

[@eldiazoni]

I wonder whether she had to record the songs before getting to work with a vocal/accent coach for the filmed dialogue.

[@riboid]

I love it William. Please, ignore the naysayers, as I am sure (not shore) you already do.

[@liambrownpianoproductions3445]

Me too! I have 4 mary poppins umbrella's, the script for the stage version and even the entire orchestra parts for the stage version. Very jealous of your chat with the lovely zizi strallen too the stage version is my favourite, dare I say. Have you seen the guy that recreated the stage set with working projections and everything very accurately.

William William William........we LOVE youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 😍

[@katkat4392]

I adored the ending!

[@cecilyerker]

I didn’t watch this movie because I will only acknowledge Julie Andrews as the only valid Mary Poppins.

[@edronc2007]

Great video! However, as one of my previous commenters put it: "Julie Andrews is the only Mary Poppins to me."

[@Sebastian-ip2wc]

Not a patch on Julie Andrews.

[@robsmith6281]

Julie Andrews is the only Mary Poppins to me sorry William.

[@WinsomeWinslet]

Sorry but she's no Julie Andrews.

[@allancuseo7431]

I love Mary Poppins and I love you and your work

[@7ajhubbell]

[@cookie5335]

[@DesertSkies120]

[@giuliam837]

React to the original movie is better

[@mary-rosesullivan5319]

😂😂😂

[@deepthinkerpoet]

Maybe this is why I didn't like the film. Hmm.

[@forgottenjewelsurbex7635]

So..technically, Americans ect., if they were to speak the English language properly, then it would be spoken w an "English accent"..🧐🤫🤫

[@WilliamHansonEtiquette]

Yes, but Emily is English.

[@cecilyerker]

Emily is herself English so it’s especially disappointing
