[@andrewglinski4722]

Half of an accent is the choice of words instead about being all about pronunciation of words. You can pronounce “gallons of gasoline” with an English accent but in reality the Englishman would say “liters of petrol.”

You'd probably be bored out of your mind trying to learn the accent for a role... I know I've been. You'll need to work painstainkingly long hours with a vocal coach to get it correct...

It's when he speaks o I can hear his Irish accent. Like in Hox, op and down, mouth. It sounds so funny. I like hearing Irish accent. It's my favourite along with the posh British one. Sadly, I can't do accents at all, it's because I'm not a native English speaker. I can sometimes hear accents, but I can't put my finger on the specificalities. It's a failing.

[@elsalaiho1699]

I can hardly tell accents apart... like I do hear in the video that he's talking slightly differently when he speaks as himself than as General Hux for example, but I couldn't tell what he pronounces differently. It's probably because I'm not native English-speaker so I'm not so good at hearing little differences in the pronouncication, I only can tell when something is pronounced significantly different way from how I was taught. And I've picked up words and pronouncication from the classroom, from the internet, from movies and tv shows, so my talk is probably an odd mix of American and British English covered with a heavy foreign (Finnish) accent, I don't know. Still interesting hearing about this stuff though!

[@hlly9370]

Elsa Laiho same with me. I can hear the "heavy" accents and telm them apart, but it makes me sad, that I don't really hear what they worked on in for example "the little stranger"

[@GlytcheD]

Dont worry about it, it's normal for non native speakers to not be able to tell between accents of that language. Plus, English can be so varied.

[@sarahfitzgerald801]

Your English is so good oh my god

[@elsalaiho1699]

@@sarahfitzgerald801 Well, yeah, when I write I can usually pass as a native English-speaker (I read and watch a lot of stuff in English, I write a lot too, plus I have studied English for maybe half my life now and still continue to study it, so that probably explains), but when I speak... well, the other person usually understands me, but I really wouldn't pass as a native with my Finnish accent.

[@2junwoo]

@@elsalaiho1699 if you are interested, is more about training your ears really - and starts with understanding how and why you sound the way you sound, how your mouth opens, how your tongue moves, etc. It takes a while, but it is just training. I'm majoring in English teaching, but I'm a non-native speaker as well, so it was hell going through phonetic classes. Eventually, as you become more aware of your own voice and accent, you start being able to pick more differences and educating your ear to hear things you don't really pay attention to unless you are doing it so on purpose.

Ya know, Domhnall, I really love your English accent when you play General Armitage Hux in the Star Wars sequel. Hux sounds funny when he says ruthlessly, "ALL REMAINING SYSTEMS WILL BOW TO THE FIRST ORDER!".

[@LalinDissanayaka]

As an actress I do the same thing, I can do more than 50 accents sadly I was not born in an English speaking country so instead I do KZbin, it's hard to go to the UK or America to follow my dreams of doing film, I've only done stage. I really admire this actor I love this short film he was in for Burrberry.

[@lawrenceyang9959]

Learning different accents ruined my life. I was born in China; I lived in Germany when I was little; I went to high school and college in America; I had friends from England, Scotland, and Australia; my neighborhood are mostly Mexican now... I could a pretty good impression of their accents, but when I normally talk, I sound super weird. I gained a mixture of several different accents. It is really hard for me to fix my accent because English is not my native language, so technally, I didn't have a original standard accent.

[@ziya9274]

I thought he looked familiar... He's in Goodbye, Christopher Robin! SUCH A GRADE-A MOVIE

[@Nichalia]

Wrong title. This is actually “This one dude does accents in some of his movies and talks about it for a few minutes.” Not “actors,” there’s no plural, and “I use the accent all day until I film and find a poem to read in it” does not a “how” make.

If you are doing it for theatre, I suggest watching a recording of the show and try to get your voice as close as possible, or watch movies or TV shows set in the same area your show takes place. I'm currently in Newsies, and almost all of us need an accent. Just practice!

As a South African, I can genuinely say that we do have a very complicated accent. It all depends on the area, however. You’ve got the thick Afrikaans accent, the Cape Flats slang, the British/Afrikaans accent where it sounds like you were born and raised in the UK and came to South Africa, never lost the accent but have never actually been there in your life. It’s quite a complicated accent.
