How To Do a Haitian Accent Extended!!

[@fangsandfolklore8795]

Thank you. I do audiobooks and I have a Haitian character. It is harder than I imagined!

[@unclebanana]

Sounds to my ears like a hybrid between a West African accent and a French accent, which I guess is more or less what I was expecting.

I’m in Once On This Island and this has been very helpful. Thank you!

[@kirstin1000]

This is even better, I need so much help in breaking down accents to mimic😭💖

Hey All! This is a place to learn! It’s also a space for those that seek to learn the BASIC TOOLS OF A HAITIAN ACCENT. Let’s do our best to KEEP IT A POSITIVE SPACE TO LEARN. I put up these Videos UP - because after 20 years in the biz, most ACTORS - CASTING DIRECTORS- PRODUCERS- WRITERS- THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY ETC are unaware of the HAITIAN SOUND AND CULTURE. I’m HAITIAN and out of respect for a country and culture that is so steeped w beauty, & HISTORY deserves much more than the light society as rewritten it to be. ACTORS still to this day are getting cast doing JAMAICAN and AFRICAN accents. These actors you’ve seen are talented - but I’ve realized most ppl have very singular and monolithic exposure to the Accent. I know because I’m coaching them. I hear the feedback they get before I work w them. GETTING PRAISED for an “authentic” accent that is JAMAICAN OR A MIXTURE OF BOTH AFRICAN /JAMAICAN, or just plain made up! I come from a great country and I’m a proud HAITIAN woman that wants nothing more than to have PROPER REPRESENTATION for the ppl and the community. REPRESENTATION FOR THE SAKE OF REPRESENTATION IS NOT REPRESENTATION. Researching the country and culture IS. That was my goal and is my goal w sharing these videos. There are many tools to get to the Haitian Accent. These are my tools that I’ve built over the past four years. This is not the ultimate way but it is a way to share the Diverse Community of the Haitian ppl and of the Black community. Thanks again 🇭🇹
