@@themaggattack not saying the american accent is bad, but i do agree with you. the american accent sounds quite off to me. i guess it's the lack of diverse vowels (e.g the tendency to turn vowels in words into the schwa sound) and strong rhotic sound (i.e. hard R) that make the american accent sound kinda rough imo.

@@Pixietoria Yes, that happened to me with the brother (Felix?) as well - when he pronounced 'psychopath' like 'psyco-parth' I wondered if he wasn't actually English, and it was confirmed when later he (and Sarah) kept pronouncing 'Castor' as 'carster'. He was so, so close though. But the pronunciation of A's are so swapped between English and North-American, it always catches them out in the end.

wen willoughby Ha ha- yes I think that was the word! 🤣

@JB-qf5ep 3 года назад

I like to think that those times when Sarah and Felix's accents aren't entirely accurate to South London, it's because they lived in London long enough to establish their accents, but moved young enough that their accents would have been slightly warped in places. Same with Rachel. While in Canada, they would have had very little contact with their initial accents except for each other, and so it would warp over time. I would even guess that in real life their accents would be more muddled than they are on the show. You see it quite often with british celebrities that move to america - after several years there, when they are interviewed, their accents will warp in some places and they start to sound 'mid-atlantic' or just very muddled.

I was going to say she needs to do Orphan Black.

Rachel sounds really odd to me because I've never heard anyone like her.

I didn't think her Scottish accent in the intro was great. Even experts seem to really struggle with Scottish accents. I don't know why. Perhaps there's less consistency across the vowels? She's better later in the video but it's still... I dunno. Something in my head rejects it...

@13strong 4 года назад

For example, she says "me accent". We don't say "me" for "my". That's Cockney. We would generally run the "my" into "accent", like: "m'accent" or "ma'accent". Maybe she just got a bit muddled up.
