How To Speak With A Scottish Accent 

I just want to learn the scottish accent so when I'm insulting it sounds more pissed off.

Plot twist: this guy is Scottish and all the other posh accent stuff is actually what he's putting on

50% of the video views are scottish folk trying to see if anyone really can do our accent

I came here so I can speak like Shrek since I'm playing him in my school musical

I’m Scottish but somehow this guy can do a better Scottish accent than me 😂

You Scottish people are lucky. Everything you say sounds hot

Characters that ppl want to imitate: 1. Scottish Pokemon Trainer 2. Demoman 3. Some girl in VrChat

when you come here because you need a new voice for your D&D characters... Can't be a squeaky british girl forever

Who else finds themselves reading the comments in a scottish accent?

I’m going to receive so much hate... please don’t hurt me... I came here so I could talk like a Dwarf

Also, and this is generalized, the first word in a Scottish sentence is emphasized, then the following words are spoken low, then the middle of the sentence is spoken medium, then the remaining words are spoken low. So, it's like 'High - low - low - low - Medium - low - low - low', know what I mean? Kind of hard to explain in text.

0:54 “it would be very rare to hear murrrrderrrr with big long R’s” Conductor from a hat in time: Am I a joke to ye?

"I'm Scottish and we sound nothing like that!!!" Wow, it's almost like he said he was doing a generalized accent at the beginning of the video!

I used to teach abroad and my students told me that they found it easier to learn English in my accent (Scottish) because it sounds more or less identical to how you write it. The letter 'r' is always an 'r' sound, the 't' is always a 't' sound, and the vowels are almost always consistent. I don't understand why people go out of their way to learn an English accent when Scottish is so much easier for non-native speakers in terms of the correlation between written and spoken words.

"Hello evrrribodi, do I sound like merrrida, noh? "

I'm a native Portuguese speaker from Portugal, and I always loved the accent. I've been studying it during my free time, and I must say it's been quite easy for me. The 'R' sound is so natural for me.

The most beautiful gurel in the wureld

It's actually kinda freaky how spot-on his attempt at a Scots accent is.

I'm Scottish and find this offensive... Haha no. But I'm Scottish and can't even roll my r's help

I’m Scottish and I do have to say this is actually the best tutorial I have seen he sounds like my dad

Who is thinking of James McAvoy?

He's rolling his R's too much lol

Which is heaveya.. A kilogram ob steew oh A kilogram ob fedars

"meRRRda" sounded like the word wich means literally shit in Portuguese hahaha

Ok so I'm Scottish this is the accent that movies portray I feel u would have to be in Scotland to understand how we actually speak?

I can’t roll my R’s though! ;-; When I try that it just sounds like the Japanese version of R. ;-;

This reminds me of Shrek.

tip from a scot: don’t roll your r’s as much as he is lmao

I go to school in Glasgow (I'm American). I find imitating a Scottish accent to be near impossible. My mates are always trying to get me to do it. "murrrderrr" Ha! that was hilarious.

I just want to sound like the 12th Doctor.

I only wanted to be able to say "Get in mah swamp" like my lord and savior, Shrek.

I just want to speak like James Mcavoy

You're actually very good! I'm a Scot and the only thing I'd question is havenae. I'd say huvnae. Otherwise, I like the video and you've captured us well!

I got a Scottish accent after watching Austin Powers, but all I could say was "GET IN MY BELLY!"

“bird” in the scottish accent means “cold” in arabic

Here because of Outlander, and because I want to give my LARP character a scottish accent (thanks to the group I'm in) Currently doing as much research as I can so I won't sound stupid

this is too hard for me -.- im asian

I don't roll my r's at all

Wanna learn Scottish? Simply listen to the dwarves of the Witcher videogames! :DD

Came here since I'm playing a Scottish gnome in D&D. This vid was a big help

That's how I pronounce English after a Danish lesson. Then, when told to speak more clearly, I switch to Russian accent.

How to speak in a Scottish accent “by an Englishman”

An English friend of mine laughed at the fact that "Train Spotting" had subtitles here in America.

Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

YOUR BLINDS ARE MESSING WITH MY EYES! STOP!

I'm Scottish and when I try to do a British accent it comes out as Scottish so this was easy lol

I watched this to help nail the voice of a character I thought was Scottish in a book I’m reading to my kids, and the next paragraph explained he had a southern accent but spoke as if he was from Scotland. Thanks anyway!

*who else is Scottish and is here for no reason*

If you wanna hear a real Scottish accent, look up Voice Recognition In a Lift

I'm going to be fair and say, he's pretty close to the mark. Sounds like a Dundee-ish accent.

I’m a 16 year old Norwegian guy who should be doing homework but instead tries to learn Scottish for fun😂😂

It would be interesting to put a bunch of people with different accents and regional variants into a room and listen to them converse and interact with each other and compare how they sound. Imagine a Texan talking with an Australian or A Boston person talking with and Irish person. I wonder if a bunch of English speaking people of varying accents and dialects were lost and stranded on an island how the culture of their descendants would sound. Would they have a mix of Texan/Long Island/Liverpudlian/Glasgow/New Zealand/Dublin/Rhode Island/Perth/North Carolina accent? Which accent would be dominant or would they form some new type of accent?

Yer goin to be fine donkeh.

Only Scottish people can do a Scottish accent

That is extremely helpful. I'll have to study this video. I've always wanted to be able to mimic both Scottish and Irish accents. Being able to tell the difference already puts me ahead of a lot of Americans, lol.

David Tennant, Peter Capaldi

The best "accent video" I've ever seen! Well done Gareth! Your video about Irish accent was tremendous, but this one is absolute class, top of the tops. At 1:44 you say "no deference" without meaning to do Scottish accent, but you are doing perfect one accidentally :D Well I think it is accidental :D

So much hate against videojug lol

I’m Scottish and I’ve just realised how true this video is 😂

That couch and room though Teheeheee

As a scots person we dont really hold our Rs that much and no we would say naw

Barely anyone likes the English at the minute so I’m trying to learn a Scottish accent

I need this for my dnd character 😭

I'm researching the Scottish accent for voicing a certain character of mine, thank you so much for this video!

Who else is actually Scottish?

"That'll do donkey, that'll do"

Making a Scottish d&d character anyone?

Am Scottish and Can I just say I don’t pronounce the r in any of words lol 😂

When you’re doing Macbeth with your school...

What makes me a good demoman? WELL IF I WASN'T A GOOD DEMOMAN I WOULDNT BE HERE DISSCUSSIN IT WITH YA, WOULD I!

Learning how to do a Scottish accent so I can roleplay my dwarf artificer in my friend's DnD campaign.

When I traveled for the first time abroad and thus had to use the English language to communicate; I did not have control over the pronunciation, although I knew. Many accused me of singing and after I had that under control, the people thought I was Scottish because I pronounced with the Dutch southern dialect, Noord-Brabants / Flemish - and the Scots pronounce many words with the same emphasis as the Dutch on á, é, ó, í. The Flemish accent is the most polite, it sounds in Dutch as the British dialect sounds to Americans; and My Brabantse accent is the French R and not pronouncing the T and the D's. Of all the dialects, Sco'ish sounds the most beautiful and - ''in touch''. I will definitely learn and develop this dialect further; though I have to get more control over the accent that I have now - through learning new languages and exposure to other languages and dialects and folk music, I have developed ear for distinction.

If you wanna learn Scottish accent, just watch Spartacus and listen to John Hannah. He's got a sexy Scottish accent! :)

On saying. I'm from Scotland and this sounds fuck all like we talk up here

the contrast of how confident he seems saying the script vs how nervous he looks checking it rattles me

Glaswegian accent is the hardest to understand, and sounds most badass IMO. Scottish accent is the coolest English accent in the world along with old New York accent. Whereas English and Australian accents sound kind of queer (just my opinion) I heard they actually had to reshoot or re-dub some scenes in "Trainspotting" because it was unintellgible. For an example of a Glaswegian accent, watch Peter Mullan's "NEDs" (2011). A great film too! You literally can't take away the subtitles lol. In that movie all the actors were amateur folks speaking their true styles.

I love how I got this into recommended because I’m watching too many videos of the new Pokémon Scottish girl.

How do I sound like Karen Gillan

I’m playing a game with my friends and I want to give an important character a Scottish accent for No Reason to make them laugh/mad so this is helpful

Whenever I roll my "R"s I sound like Chewbacca XD

Why dont somebody know how to flush a toilet after try taken a shet

This video just helped me nail a Scottish character voiceover for a video game today. This guy is the real deal. I've voiced hundreds of characters for video games, but NEVER one Scot. This was a pretty big title so I was a bit uneasy at first. On the drive to the studio I kept repeating his words "the girrl had a rrred birrd" and it really REALLY helped. I'm coming back to this dude before auditions and gigs from now on.

Now go and practice with this word : irn bru

What do I do when I'm already Scottish?

i wanna sound like desmond hume brotha

I learned how to do a Scottish accent from shrek

I came here to learn how to say « DISGOSTANG » 😂 if you understand the reference, I love you

I have a few mates that are from Scotland, and I just love hearing them talk, most times I just shut up and listen because I love the Scottish accent, it is awesome.

Actually, Scots is a dialect that used to be so different from English that it was practically its own language. It has since died, but books upon books were written in Scots. It features different spellings for English words, and many of its own unique words influenced by the Pictish and Gaelic languages of old.

Am I the only one who watched this after watching William Wallace vs George Washington on ERB

Lol I only searched this up so I can sound like David Tennant.

Thanks so much for this! I'm DMing a D&D campaign, and until now literally all my NPCs were English or American sounding lol XD

"This is a castle, isn't it? There are tapestries?".

It's so funny that all the Scots just sort of came out of the woodwork.

i searched for shrek accent tutorials and this is the closest i got

I learned Scottish accent watching Bill Nighy performance as Davy Jones

God i'm so in love with the Scottish accent! I lovvvvvvveeeee it.

What's this dafty ah aboot fs he doesna even ken what he's on aboot ata

Right, you've got us down pretty well, but you forgot to mention about how we kinda just like, combine our words. Like "I dinny wanna do at" or "I canny come to yer place e night, sorry lad" and about how much we swear. Oh god we swear a lot. We basically combine any words that have that ' in it. So what I'm saying is Can't, becomes canny. Can't = canny Don't = dinny Won't = willnae Couldn't = couldnae Shouldn't = shouldnae Wouldn't = wouldnae I'm = Imma Isn't = Isnae (basically not, becoming nae) On the rare occasion, the only word we use with a ' in it is it's. And we miss out our vouls quite a bit. We also say wee or a tad bit instead of small or little. In some of our words we add ny because, why not. "it's a tad bitty cauld (cold) oot here lads". (This is a generic Scottish accent I'm talking about) But otherwise, you've gotten us most accurate so far to be fair. Not bad on ye lad. (I'm using my mums account currently. But I was brought up in the Caithness area).

thank you!! i love voice acting but i've always had the most trouble with scottish. this helps a lot!
