PenguinGoddess ! That’s what I said. This video should be directed to Queens, not NY. Someone is going to audition for a Manhattan part and not get it if they sound like this, but if they are looking for Queens...the parts in the bag. Lol
Why does the Brooklyn female accent make me melt. I can’t stress enough how successfully a female Brooklyn accent can take me over so easily every time without fail. I cannot take it. I cannot.
This is a classic Brooklyn accent, which is how New Yarkers sound on television. Actual accent of Manhatten accent sounds like George Carlin. However, its absent until you're close to Harlem since 90% of Manhattenites are recent transplants.
I swear the new york accent is Godsent. I'm from Minas Gerais, Brazil. and currently working on my pronunciation and accent. and Jesus Christ, I've found most of my regional dialect characteristics in the "new york accent." It's way easier for me to imitate the "new york accent" than the standard American and British accents.
Love the channel! Just subscribed! I am currently working on a New York accent. To the point where I can use it no problem and speak with it alone if I wanted to. So more videos and tips on a New York accent would be much appreciated! Especially thorough, in depth ones! Thank you!
Wow. Didn't even realize I was doing that with my t's. (I think more (lower) NY women say "did-int[ss] with a short hiss, as they say it through their teeth while shaking their head, "No I didn't..(you idiot) and men say 'Did-int[huuh]' with a short sigh at the end because they are on the receiving end of that attitude... and we both say 'Doo-win' ..because we don't say .."ing" unless it can't be avoided. Upstate NY'ers don't sound like this at all. Parts of Brooklyn / Queens, even parts of Nas-saw county on "LawnGeyeland" (Long Island) sound like that, and da Bronx and Yonk-izz sound a little different but I'm sure you knew that! I agree with mshara1 about the George Carlin thing, but its 'New Yawk-uz', not 'Yarkers'
These videos are fun and fascinating. Can people go to school to study this stuff formally, or is it just about individual dialogue coaches and the like?
Is there any difference between this "T" sound and the actual sound effect of "TSS!" like a sizzle? Also, when you said "interesting," does the second T have this kind of sound because I couldn't hear it. Would any T following an S have this "T" sound? What about "bottle" or other times T is followed by a consonant?
This New York accent is typical of Lawn Gylandahs (Long Islanders), being the two boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens plus Nahsaw (Nassau) County. To narrow it further, that would be eastern Brooklyn, all of Queens and western Nassau. Languages are always evolving and even this classic Noo Yawk accent is fading away as the predominant Irish/Italian/Jewish population from the 50’s to 70’s has been largely replaced with Latino Caribbean, Chinese, Russian, West African and Pakistani. New York has always been the place of entry for immigrants to America. Today Queens is the most diverse county in America and probably the world with over 200 different languages being spoken. As these new Americans are assimilated, so do their native languages merge into and add to the linguistic melting pot. The first generations are typically bilingual, learning their parents native language at home where it is the first language and also English. The second generation’s home language will probably be English.
Yo Amy, that 'S' sound is called Sibilance, a slight hiss sound to the S, what some Gay guys may have too much of. Can you say "Longk Islant"? I teach voice-over in San Francisco and find one of the most commonly mispronounced words is Hundred. I mean, everybody misses it, especially people on TV. Hunnert, huntert, hunterd, hunderd, hunent, huntret, on and on. Another bad one is the word 'Today', is always pronounced tah-day almost universally.
This is significantly better than your other NY accent video where you sound like a cartoon character. You don't lay it on as thick here and even though it's still a bit over-the-top, you definitely sound like some real people I know from Staten Island.
I am not sure if I am missing the joke or if I am getting it,, here is what I hear, Amy is telling us about a certain accent and is giving e few examples,, but the way she is talking when she gives us those examples is in itself a thick ny / long island accent for example when she says the word 'Of" she says "a" there are many other examples so I ask is the joke on me of does she not even know that when she is giving examples,, the way she is talking contains many other examples of a thick accent
If you like Amy’s wonderful voice coaching dont forget to go to HER RU-vid channel and subscribe there. this channel is merely exploiting Amy’s fine work.
Why do most English coaches say that, in order to make this sound, you must push your tongue against your teeth? If I follow her tip I just can't make that sound.
A bad New Yahk Accent word is Access-a-ride pronounced Asses-a-ride,....word for the wise don't OVER-DO IT !!!! Make it sound like your REALLY FROM HERE ....NOT a working Actor who was in the Soprano's.....their is a difference....Mince words but act truly like you are oblivious to how you sound,....Remember "Acting is the Easiest thing in the World"......(as long as you don't get caught doing it).....all tourist say....Hey Tony,....FUGEDABOUDIT!! ...BUT only a few can say it with out looking like a pousuer........
+jessica henderson Of course it is dramatic. It is a tutorial... you learn by listening and watching the video. It is dramatic for people to really hear the pronunciation used and pick up on the differences in it compared to other accents.
