I’m giving up here for today, that last bit has been murdering me for hours, I loose the accent completely

#dracula #dracula daily #jonathan harker is from devon #my devonshire accent is. not great. and very brief. #audio #i devolve into something i don't have a place for except that it's sometimes what i sound like when i'm tired #i can equally be welsh or scottish or scouse when i'm tired or with the night my vowels just go sideways and i'm an amalgamation

I feel like Grim wouldn't have an accent

And I think that's just called an American accent but I'm not entirely sure and I get nervous about not knowing that so just pretend I said the right thing 😭

But like imagine Grim just picking up on all the British and Scottish cause I feel like that would just start happening

Like they'll slowly start to learn the accents and it'll show sometimes and the only reason Grim knows is because someone has pointed it out👽

A/N: americans have an accent to the rest of us english speakers but I get what you mean

Grim would have a scouse accent, like seven months ago they had their pretty little American accent and then boom scouse comes in and swoops all Grim ever knew

I think once Grim goes to their old base, everyone will point it out

like it gets to a point where Grim can just pass as a brit and people won't even question Grims so called English nationality

It's gets worse when drunk, no one, not even Soap gets what Grim says because of how thick the accent is now

Price now makes Grim speak slow so everyone gets what they are trying to say

ohhh accents!! Headcannons on accents? It must’ve added to the starks rep in court with his northern accent plus Robert and Ned going to the vale

The North- very much a wide range of Northern English and various Scottish accents. No if ands or buts about it

The Vale- Northern Welsh, really breathy and at times hard to understand, which is very fitting to me idk

The Riverlands- Southern Welsh, which is far rounder and sturdier than Northern Welsh, though it varies based on location

The Iron Islands- They’re weird bc they’re islands and have developed their own thing, but a mix between the flat Norfolk and a hint of Danish

The Westerlands- Strict Heightened Received Pronunciation I feel like this is really obvious. Far looser for the lower classes, but still comparatively polished

The Reach- Received Pronunciation, but not as strict as the westerlands, there is a rounder kind of Bristol/western English accent peppered in

The Stormlands- Probably Scouse or another rougher kind of accent from around Liverpool, lots of fricatives and short stops you know

Dorne- Mix of Saudi and Egyptian accents, but one may be more dominant based on location. However there is a strange factor bc of the prevalence of the arrival of the common tongue and the standard RP accent it brings with it

The Crownlands- The classic Received Pronunciation and Heightened RP, at least for the upper classes. Lower would be more Birmingham and Cockney

Black butler reaper accent headcanons

- William still speaks in his very old posh accent he learned as a kid. A lot of modern new reapers think he’s doing it as a like a bit when they first meet him. Then they realize oh that’s just how he talks.

- Grelle speaks in general rp. But will go into a bit of a cockney accent when she’s around Ronald as that’s the accent she had growing up.

- Ronald speaks has a very thick Cockney accent. Like to the point where William has to ask Grelle or Othello to translate.

- Othello speaks in a Scouse accent. Though over the years working in London he’s started to lose it over the years. But on occasion he’ll say something like “That’s boss!” or “Ron and I are goin’ to get bevvys after work.”

- Alan speaks in a South Welsh accent. He still speaks Welsh. Often you hear him under his breath swearing or muttering in Welsh. Eric thinks it’s hot.

- This one might be controversial but Eric speaks in a Yorkshire accent. I had a friend tell me his last name isn’t Scottish. So I was looking around at other accents and I thought the sound of the Yorkshire accent suited him.

for drabbles just anything with sir alex finding out about carraville it’s never mentioned enough and just the idea of him or keano finding out and being all ‘we don’t mind you’re gay but a scouser really??’ is hilarious to me :)

YESSSS I love fics like that you're right it's such an underused idea... I feel like keano's reaction would be funnier wheras sir alex is just like. 'i can't believe I have to deal with these stupid boys'...

here ya go!

---

“Carragher, get your filthy Scouse hands off me or I swear to god I’ll –” Gary starts, before he has to cut himself off with a gasp when Carragher’s teeth scrape the base of his throat.

Carragher looks up at him, a wicked glint in his eye, “or you’ll what?”

“Fuck, I don’t –” he feels himself squirming under Carragher’s touch, desperate for more – just more, but painfully aware of where they are, of how little time they have before someone notices they’re gone. “You fucking bastard, how many times’ve I gotta tell ya, not at Old Trafford.”

“Oh, so you’re fine fuckin’ me in the physio room at Anfield, but I can’t even kiss ya when we’re in Manc territory?”

“Like kissin’ is all you’re angling for, greedy fuck,” argues Gary, pulling him in for a rough kiss to prove his point. Or maybe just to kiss him. He does have lovely lips, when he’s not using them to talk.

Carragher presses a palm to the front of Gary’s shorts, his thumb brushing gently over the hard line of his dick. He smirks into the kiss, murmurs, “like it’s all you’re anglin’ for, you slag.”

Gary almost relents. You can hardly blame him, he’s not got off in weeks, and if beating Liverpool at Old Trafford’s not a turn on then he doesn’t know what is.

Except, except, he hears someone yelling in a familiar Scottish accent through the wall, and he freezes in place.

“Carragher,” he bites out.

Carragher, to his credit, immediately removes his hands from Gary’s body and takes a step back. “I know, I know. I’ll go first, shall I?”

“No, ‘cause then he’ll see – then he’ll know we were both –”

“Fine, so you go.”

“But then what if he asks what I were doin’ in here, and he looks, and you –”

“Oh my god, lad, make a decision! Your gaffer’s lookin’ for ya, you’re gonna get a bollocksing if you don’t get out there soon, so go.”

“Fine. Fine, yeah. I’ll go,” he says, and he goes to step out the door of the storage room only to be met with –

“Hiya, boss,” he squeaks.

Sir Alex looks at him, frowning, then he looks into the room behind him and Gary finds himself wishing he could just sink into the floor.

“So this is what y’think is more important than the team talk, then?”

“Um,” says Gary.

Sir Alex lets out a long, slow, breath, then fixes Gary with an unreadable stare. “None of my business, Gary, but not at a game, not here, and not him. Got it?”

Gary nods, not trusting himself to speak, then sheepishly follows Sir Alex back to the dressing room, sparing an apologetic glance back towards Carragher.

Once he’s out the shower and getting dressed, his phone pings with a text and he flips it open, fighting back a smile when he sees who it’s from.

#had to include a bit of terrible text speak... oh how i long for the pay per character t9 texting of the 2000s #thank you for the suggestion!!! I was gonna go more comedic but i do not ever get to choose what direction my fics go in. rip #carraville #drabbles

Good day, Will! Could you please tell how difficult it is for an actor to mimic different English accents (by "English accents" I mean, for example, Scottish, Irish, American, etc, accents of native English speakers)? What was the most difficult/easy accent you learnt, the accent you personally like? I am not a native English speaker, in my language we pronounce words almost as they are written, and dialects don't really differ drastically. English, on the other hand, seems to be a very flexible language phonetically concidering how many dialects and accents exist. PS Allow me to express my admiration by your talent. It is such a pleasure to listen to you sing and to listen characters in games voiced by you.

Good day to you!

It really depends from person to person - what your background is, how your brain works, etc - but for me I'd say it's a lot to do with exposure and references. I'd say that one of the reasons so many Europeans are good english speakers (as opposed to the generally appalling language skills of people in the UK) is that they are exposed to content in English.

For that reason, a generic US accent was one of the easiest for me to pick up when I was a kid. Partly through mimicry, living in foreign countries, learning languages, and singing, I got very good at knowing how to make all the weird noises I could with my mouth when I was a child, - looking back I'm not sure how it took so long for me to get diagnosed with ADHD...

As I got a bit older though, I started to focus more on specific references for accents - for instance I tend to start all my Northern accents somewhere around Sean Bean and then migrate to wherever I need to depending on the character. Inconsistency is the biggest giveaway (in my eyes) for bad accents - I can believe that anyone can talk in any way, but they're unlikely to change the rules halfway through a sentence if they've spoken that way their entire life!

Finally, when I trained as an actor I actually started to learn phonetics, which was kind of giving a vocabulary to the library of mouth-noises I was already familiar with, and combined with learning more about characterisation, movement & physicality, and vocal technique meant I had even more tools in my box.

Some accents I've tried a few times but never been happy with - Scouse, Geordie and Brummie are all very specific and I've never needed to really get to grips with them. My favourite accent changes a lot, but might be Welsh at the moment.

Something I always try and avoid is the accent I'm doing *becoming* the character. It's an easy trap to fall into when you're starting out - you do a valley girl accent and suddenly you're a generic valley girl, a West Country accent and you're a farmer. People are complicated, their character is way more than their accent... and nowadays I feel like you should treat each character as having their own accent unique to them - their ideolect.

To wrap up this much longer than expected reply, I'd say that my accent learning goes from mimicry->charicature->honing/specifying->ideolect.

I really like Good Omens, but one thing struck me that made me sad. David Tennant is Scottish, Michael Sheen is Welsh and they both use an English accent for their characters.

I know an English accent (specifically RP) is seen as 'neutral' and 'the default', why would an angel be Welsh etc, but I would ask everyone to take a second to think why that is.

It's the legacy of English colonialism, pushing the idea that to be English is the norm (though not of a working class background either because Geordie, Scouse, West Country etc are also not seen as the norm) To be Scottish or Welsh is 'too specific', too other. Just a thought anyway

My new pet hate is the phrase 'britsh accent' because babes I have no idea what that is.

I currently live in England- North West England if we want to be a tiny bit more specific- but accents here are so damn diverse. I can take a bus to the next town over to my left and they speak in a far posher accent than the town I like in. We are only a 10 minute bus journey apart.

I can take a 45 minute train to Manchester and then Manc accent is entirely different to that of my town, and my neighbouring town. I can take a different half hour train to Liverpool and literally no where else has an accent quite like a scouse accent. It is vastly different then my towns accent, my neighbouring towns accent, or the Manchester accent.

My town is also not too far from the Welsh boarder. If I take a train to Wales then I'm in a whole new country, but still in Britain, so Welsh accents would still be a 'British accent' despite more often than not, not being the accent people are talking about in conversation. And Wales a small county but it too has wildly diverse accents! Llandudno accents sound nothing like Wrexham accents which sound nothing like Cardiff or Swansea.

I might live in England but I am Scottish and originally from Fife. Scottish accents too are diverse and different from one another! Different cities and towns, regardless of proximity, will have different accents or dialects!

When people refer to a 'British accent' I'm just confused as to what they mean. There are several countries that make Britain. Each possessing varied and diverse accents that are incomparable to one another so... I dunno man I just think people should be a little more specific when it comes to describing accents.

#sorry for rhe rant oops #i was reading fanfic and was getting pressed.

I keep detouring to Scotland - tonight I would like to stay in Devon, please

#i wouldn't make a voice actor #tho it sounds like fun #it takes me an age to do any accent that's not london scouse welsh and passable scottish #i like to think anyway #just doesn't stick

[sekritjay]

Minor (read: none) bit of debate in the video game space about the fact that when British VAs are used, they're still asked to stick to either London or Home Counties accents, with the occasional Scottish thrown in. Astarion's actor wanted to use his Birmingham accent. Captain Price wanted the iconic CoD character to use his native Scouse but was turned down and that honestly makes me kinda sad

Sure it's a really small gripe compared to other areas of discrimination we could be talking about - hence why I'm merely sad rather than angry - and it's an odd eyebrow raiser considering it's coming from me but I barely see our regional accents appear in popular media unless it's deliberately set in and around its origin and then it's usually only to fulfill a BBC policy. And never ever in video games. Last time I heard a Scouse accent in a video game it was a squeaker pelting a corpse with rocks whilst calling me a faggot

guess i’m throwing my hat into the ring on the whole accent discorse now but i think that uhhhh claiming that an rp english accent is the only way a character can sound powerful or godlike is super classist actually! like even specifically with dream as a character, he really doesn’t have to be english rp. just restricting it to the uk if we’re using the “it was filmed in england” reasoning, i could imagine a scottish dream, or irish, or welsh, or scouse, and if you have a good actor then they could absolutely sell “this is a stuck-up king of a realm who is constantly burdened by rules and responsibilities” without changing the accent itself!

#i do Not know enough actors to name people. if i did i would provide examples. #sandman #tv #sandman netflix #why do i get myself involved in this discourse. this will prove to be a mistake. ugh. #dream #anyway reminder because i myself sometimes forget this: There Is No Such Thing As No Accent #and also What You Consider To Be Accentless Reflects How You Think Of People With Other Accents Than Your Own #So Be Fucking Careful When You Talk About This Because There Are Classist Assumptions Surrounding How We Talk About How People Talk

I like how you Brits say wa'uh instead of water. What do y'all have against the letter (sorry le'uh) T? I don't mean this in a mean way btw, just find it kinda funny. This blog is also top tier. New content everyday? How awesome. Also, you seem kind of hilarious and have mighty good taste. Your gifs are chefs kiss! Thank you for all that you do pal. Have a good day my friend! X

Anon 😁!

Ohhhh challenge question... Humm hang with me and I'll try to explain the lack of T's...

You know it's not just the T it's also the R that is missed in the word water...

Right, most know here i'm from the UK, England to be specific and near London...

Myself it's "woer" yet the e is pronounced with an 'o' So it's "Wo-er" that's London/Portsmouth accent...

I've got a southern Yorkshire neighbour who pronounces it as "Whater" yeah it took me a while to grasp their accent!

Basically, it's accents that mess with the word more than anything, my gods there are a ton of them...in my vast knowledge 🤣 I know certain accents mess with the word...

Scouse, Scottish, Londoner/cockney, Cornish, Welsh....

Omg Im hilarious 😳 really?! Wow I'm shocked, I'm glad someone gets my sarcastic nature, I type as I speak so it's a no-hose-bar of me-ness (is that even a word 🤔 meh is now!) With a dash of whittling on about crap and whump thrown in for good measure!

I'm glad ya like my gifs I gif what catches my eye...trust me a lot catches it 🤣 not always in a good way 😳🙈 I usually throw them into my YT page and then gif them.. think I'm up to 1200 so far...it's excessive but soooo worth it 😜

Hey, anon I'm glad you like my blog and enjoy my content and I keep you amused life's too short for humdrum and blah-ness! 🥰
