No Australians, just like it’s so funny like that where like we make everything a question, we like go very high at the end of each sentence and it’s weird because Americans kind of make it a statement because Australians, I like worried that we’re gonna get it wrong like the answer is two??? Where Americans would be like the answer is two .😂😂

[@jen-wj3bc]

as an aussie, the 'we're all naturally insecure?' line GOT ME SO BAD 😂😂😂

[@lurveit]

Ok but as an Aussie there is definitely a difference to my ears from when he’s naturally speaking with his Australian accent to when he’s putting on an Australian accent 🤣

[@daniellechapman1842]

Yeah. I think we all do that more put on accent when we think about it too much 🤣 My accent depends on who I'm talking to honestly. I remember my sister having to tone down her more broad accent when she went to uni so that people didn't constantly comment on it 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@authoralaskawalters]

Hahaha same

[@jinxiverhexen1744]

Apart from the 'R's' ('Arr' for the Yanks vs 'Ahh' for the Aussies), in yelling scenes for Poms (Brits.. UK) & Aussies, you can sometimes detect their native accent or at least one that they're not representing (eg. Gary Oldman playing Jim Gordon in Dark Night, he was yelling on a roof top & you can kinda hear nearly a quasi Aussie accent at the end). I'd only imagine sticking to an accent that's not your own could be incredibly difficult when yelling. But then, some people do it with ease

[@blankies6548]

for some reason accents seem like such impressive skills for me, like i'm so shocked whenever felix casually goes from aussie to american

[@Aboutcm]

When he changes his accent he feels like a different person I’m blown away

[@katielafave4543]

it's so crazy how many different types of American accents he can do! The way he's saying these lines are no the same way he says them in show! It's wild!! My mind is blown!! I found out he was Australian when season 1 came out & I couldn't believe it! He's SO GOOD at it

[@May-rl7dq]

He's so FINE

Idk what is it about the way Aussie people say no(nour) but I have the potential to listen to it 10 times a day 😂

Aussie actors are amazing at being able to switch their accent. There's so many who've ended up in popular shows/movies that I never knew were Aussies til I heard them in interviews - Felix, Simon Baker, Margot Robbie etc... I'm Kiwi so can hear the Aussie accent easily so it's incredible seeing them in characrter and having no idea. That takes alot of talent to do that.

[@box_ofshoes]

“CAhhH” “iM iN ThE CaHHhh” GOT ME CHOKING KN AIR TBH 💀💀✨

[@leahlockwood2536]

I never thought much about how different the whole mouth shape and what not with our American accent but he broke it down so so well it was mind blowing

[@ankicat3425]

I love his antive Australian accent and I didn't have a clue that was an Aussie till I heard his interviews. Being Swedish, our teachers want us to learn the British accent, however when working and living in London with a lot of Australians, I found that the Australian accent is very easy to learn as well we both go up at the end of a sentence where the BE and AE accents is flat. The AE accent, on the other hand, is a tuff cookie to crack indeed

[@danyellahilly7011]

I'm so thankful for this video

[@horrorera1003]

Phenomenal acts i swear

[@nfhoward05]

Omg I love him so much! This is really cool! I'm so glad he's still got a strong Aussie accent but also his American one is very accurate! I'd love to hear his British accent! Hahaha I feel like we speak with a mixture of the two countries over here.

[@PTS-Maid]

Nah, the Australians are the ones that speak with a mix of both accents. And I say that as an American. Even him in this interview there were lots of words that he pronounced with a pretty close pronunciation of American accent.

[@anuhyasayya]

I love him he’s so hilarious

[@dandeliondreamer3365]

He’s really good at putting on an American accent, his explanation of the tongue placement between the two is really helpful (though I can’t do any decent accents other than my own) I can hear the difference when I move mine where he said 👍

[@luciacrm]

I love your analysis. There are lots of similarities with Spanish from the Americas. In regards of the part of the mouth or throat used. My first language is Spanish and living in USA. When I first moved here, I also exercised my mouth by talking in the morning through my clinched teeth making me use all the perioral muscles to better enunciate. Is fun to see someone thoughtful smart explaining something I figured out on my own with no a ting training or public speaking experience 20 years ago when I moved here and people were struck by my accent. I work in a fast paced high service kind of life or death where communication is important. Thank you

[@tiamarrow6366]

It’s the fact during the Sophomore Sleepover episode that the Australian accent is his own accent just more dramatic of how Americans impersonate Australian accents…..
