How To Do A Cockney Accent In UNDER TWO MINUTES

[@izzy4395]

I need to learn how to do this for an audition... this is harder than I thought.

[@kaiadarlene6669]

[@snazzycat207]

[@musicandmelodys2314]

[@sefina9298]

I absolutely LOVE your two minute accent videos. I teach English in Germany and use these videos with high level students who are interested in accents. They genuinely sound legit when saying the practice sentences! Thank you!

[@ohigetjokes]

This was great, I'm so glad you zeroed in on the individual phonetics. Would love a longer, say, 20 minute video where you do drills on these individual sounds - I'd listen a LOT to that!

[@italorangel1652]

English is my second language. I challenged myself to mimic all the British accent and speak them very fluently. It’s quite difficult ‘cause the only British accent I perfectly understand is the RP accent… As I said before, it’s not gonna be easy. But I won’t stop until I got it. I know my English is not the best, But I’m learning and improving every day. If someone read this I just wanna say someday we are gonna accomplish our goals. No matter how difficult they are. I truly believe with discipline and persistence we can do whatever.

[@Delcattess]

This is my favorite accent! Lovely video, can't wait to try this out haha.

[@pixoceana4939]

i needed this bc im doing a musical where i have to do a cockney accent, so thank you so much!

[@ashleemetcalfe1227]

Best accent video I've seen for cockney, thanks it was super helpful!

[@thekarmakids]

I'm a proper Cockney and this is not his best accent, his Micky Mouser aint bad, but this is bollocks, proper Jeckyl!

[@denisebranquinho2377]

I already gave up a long time ago trying to make this lovely accent.

[@tetyanaturinetti1870]

Very helpful. I know I still need to practice but this made so much sense! Thank you!

[@oathboundsecrets]

My main problem in life is that I can't pronounce TH or letter L, and often drop letter T and H. It's really hard to train yourself to talk RP after being raised with Cockney.

[@MattPocock]

The Sea Priestess Very common for lots of my students!

[@nikakhitrova503]

Nice one mate !

[@albertom6239]

watch my fair lady, it might help. I am watching it to lose RP and gain cockney ahah

[@jbaumun]

LOL ! You are good ! Learned so much in 2 minutes !! Thx for posting .

[@milo__thefish]

Thank you!! I'm auditioning for a school play and this is super useful for it!

[@saidfarid6382]

Hello dear teacher Thank you so much for your intersting and amazing lesson about Cockney. I do appreciate your job. Your Student from Algeria

[@msjapan112]

You can even change your voice quality! Amazing.

[@RY-fr5jv]

simplest and most meaningful video for installing cockney accent into my cells

[@iDxpYTN]

I had to audition for gavrosh in les mis and I got it. I’m so proud of my self!

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

His nayme is nice. Hello Matt Pocock, your channel is fascinating. Fanks a lot.

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Same old game. I'm finkin of learning Cockney..nice yeah . Fanks.

[@zappawoman5183]

Wow. Really interesting - just happened upon your channel today and your videos will keep me busy for a while! Probably not a very popular request, but I'd be impressed if you could do a video on the Black Country and Brummie accents. BC dialect is dying out as the older generation shuffle off this mortal coil. I know I've had to act as an interpreter between Black Countrians and Brummies before now!

[@lyssforfitf4771]

Marvellous but I think you should have added the glottal T that is one of the most important aspects of cockney accent..

[@prichitoadiamantadoP3-18]

One of my favourite videos

[@itsbillz09]

"Did you see that ludicrous display last night"

[@ianhowlett4682]

Sounds a bit Aussie to me.

[@danielgrosse2517]

I'm Australian and I can confirm that; I think it's due to the fact that a lot of Poms who came to the colonies were from East London/Wessex way and so had a big influence on the accent which developed in Australia ;)

[@ktkee7161]

I'd never noticed it before, but that must be where it comes from.

[@curtisderbyshire1541]

@@danielgrosse2517 There's Cockney in Sussex, Norwick, Essex, Birmingham,Manchester and some in Midland

[@curtisderbyshire1541]

And 12 varies of Cockney within South Africa

[@curtisderbyshire1541]

Australia were Amercanised to forget about their history and the ones who developed New Zealand, Australia,South Africa, Tasmania, Auckland, etc

[@mykolapoliukh2223]

Dude, teaching is in your blood. I'm speaking as the guy from your typescript lessons 😂

[@keego_keego]

Cheers for this I’ve an audition tommo and need a cockney accent Someone lied on their cv ;)

[@camisetarota134]

¡Excelente! Straight to the point!

[@annaquay]

Elongation of vowel sounds in Essex is similar to Aussie I find. American (USA) sounds more Irish and Scottish to me. I’m from Essex with Irish Scottish roots!

[@scott-ish404]

I remember in the earlier noughties, queueing up at the tills in the Virgin Oxford Street store in central London, when I heard the attendant shout "Next to pAh-y please!". I knew there and then, as a budding foreign English speaker, his was a cockney accent. I loved it!

[@leahhughes4899]

Welsh -> Wewsh

[@H0elessRomantic1]

As a non-native speaker, I can hardly tell the difference, but f it. I need to develope this Billy Butcher accent.

[@your_billieeilishlover]

I got the part of Mrs. Brill in Mary poppins and she has this accent it’s so hard

[@desislavafilipova7672]

the best video about an accent i ve seen so far!. i actually dislike Cockney a loooot it annoys me very much. sounds less educated to me but the way you explained is just marvelous

[@szenasimarton]

Cockney originates from London working class and was looked down upon, considered as an inferior for a very long time, so yeah, you're right. There's a reason why it sounds a bit uneducated. Anyway, it's grown to become one of the most liked English accents which has menaged to do a breakthrough within English social classes: Estuary accent is another one which basically is a mixture of Cockney and Received Pronuncation. Linguists say it's becoming a replacement for Received Pronunciation these days and not even Prince Harry speaks with a straight Received Pronunciation anymore. So even in the upper class there's a shift towards Estuary English. My point is it's very interesting to see how Cockney has menaged to become a well liked dialect from the status of an inferior one. But of course we're all different. Cockney is my favourite English dialect but not everyone has to like it.

I think «Carnival of light» is nothing but an urban legend.

[@sebashtiannumberone5431]

Tx a lot mate, and u know ...the water in Mallorca don't taste like what it ought to. U know w I mean? Cheers from BsAs

[@KitKat-pn7ll]

I tried this out and my friends said I sounded more Australian than Cockney. What might I be doing wrong or are the two accents just that similar?

[@MattPocock]

There are some similarities, but make sure you avoid the upspeak that's really common among Aussies. Cockneys just don't have it. Say 'January, February, March'. Aussies go up at the end, but cockneys will go down. Hope this helps!

[@OfficialSuhoforbuddiesgarbage]

I need to send this to my cousin for her school performance

[@rowannyooom6958]

It's like a British version of a southern American accent, but much harder said than done

[@helluvabosslover2009]

more like the british version of the new york accent

[@MixieChan94]

Can you do South African accent video?

[@DimiDeiod]

Loved it!!!

[@mattwash5338]

Where can I find the slides?

[@tatuco8]

You can really hear the Australian accent in Cockney

[@qploper]

Just to let ya know the 'th' fronting don't affect the 'th' sound in the word 'although' cos that's a different type of 'th' to father which becomes like lava with an f or three which becomes same as free. I've never heard no one say Alvough lol.

[@escapematrixenterprisejacq7810]

This is great😀

[@ricardofranciszayas]

Brilliant

[@catherinevirginia947]

Can someone tell me the best way to pronounce like Martha or Mother with the th? Is it more like a v, or th or unpronounced?

[@seabird1867]

Please do video how to do a Geordie accent

[@greythomas6199]

[@yonishafrir]

Hi Matt, I love all your different variety of accents. Would love and appreciate if you can make an Indian Accent Video..

[@nikgeorgio]

What kind of accent does he have?

[@jacobwoods8846]

Reddit says hello.

[@MattPocock]

Hey Reddit!

[@gazs7237]

As a SE Londoner, i can say hes very close, but anyone who is fluent cockney could call him out in the first sentance

[@VLKV_loves_you]

awesome. @1:26 lol.

[@TomTom-vl9sb]

I’m English and this is still so hard

[@andrewdeebo335]

Who is this Mug? Does he think We all look like Albert Steptoe when We 'Rabbit'?

[@iaincollins1430]

sounds Australian to me, the others on the channel are excellent

[@brucewilson2161]

不错

[@jameshrouda9797]

I am starting to think that the Australian dialect is derived from the cockney dialect!

[@awayoflife4110]

You should do a Geordie accent now. 😂👌

[@keremkaleli4467]

buddy if you do little bit slowers could be better for me ( or us :D ) thanks for it.

[@NocturnalLovers]

So basically the same as the Essex accent.

[@kristinahammer2757]

Time to break out Oliver! And further study me gal Nancy.😉

[@tropicalels4143]

You sound borderline Australian 😂😂

T-glottalization leaping over T's with silent, awkward avoidance is difficult to listen to.

[@williamlarochelle6833]

You're a master.

Well, I guess I would have to get a British accent first.

I don't know why but something about the face and goatee and the teeth and the male pattern baldness just a combination that creeps me out every time. Like that uncle who was very interested in being your close friend when you were 11

Doesnt Christian Bale speak like this?

As an East londoner, I wouldn't really recommend this tutorial. It just doesn't sound right coming from an ozzy.

ººEach generation is being dumbed-down. We use to have a vocabulary of tens of thousands of words, Shakespeare enjoyed over fifty-thousand words. Today we can grunt out maybe three thousand words.

[@RevJamesCostello]

Your problem is you exaggerate too much and just don’t get it right.

[@tuggaboy]

It worries me that people use this accent more and more. It makes people sound like they are dumb and I'm sure that in very few years, the closest accent to a Standard will be the Australian or the Irish. Received pronunciation and Estuary English are my favourite accents and the easiest to understand too. The brava instead of brother, the fink instead of think etc just sound stupid.

[@garthdennis4897]

have to learn this for a play so hard 🥲
