I love how everyone is here for Charles and Howl but then here I am watching this video to know how Remus Lupin sounds like (theres a lot of fanfics saying that he has a Welsh accent 😌)
as a German, I can pretty much only differentiate between a northern Accent and received pronounciation, everything else just sounds "generally English" to me , but I couldn't quite put a label on it.
The way im SCREAMING reading the comments and finding out I'm not the only one here trying to find out how Charles from Let's Play sounds like 🗿🗿🗿 Edit: Three years later and I’m shocked how many people continue to reply LOLOL.💀
Lol idk I do sing names but more so if they have just one syllable. My husband's name is Carl. I will sing his name, " Car-ah-rl make me a cuppa tea please" haha
Unless an actor is the double of the real life character, or character in the book, the actor should really be from the country where the character's from. I'm tired of seeing non American actors playing Americans, though some do brilliant. ChaosMyth1012
It must be easier than how you put it. The days of being contracted to do 5 pictures a year for the one studio is a thing of Errol Flynn and John Wayne's day.ChaosMyth1012
+MoreNevaeh G same, i used to have a welsh accent constantly until I picked up a tinge of autrailian accent, but i can still pull of the accent and language
Bergi Lein - to be honest I’m welsh and have never heard a welsh opera singer/group so I can’t say much. All I know is that I’ll be no good as I sound like a dying frog
All these people trying to figure out what Charles and Howl would sound like, and here I am just trying to practice my Welsh accent for playing Sir Hugh in Merry Wives of Windsor!
For anyone needing true clarification of the hilarity of our accent, ask a fellow valleys person to say the following sentence: "This year, I was here, playing with my ears." Comedy gold.
I'm part welsh and I would love to be able to speak in a welsh accent, so could you make a part two for this on using it for every day speaking and talk? Please?
You could try moving to Wales for a while. People's accent can often change if they move somewhere else for a while. I'm Canadian and I lived in Russia for 4 years. I had a very subtle Russian accent for a while before moving back to Canada
@@Foxikaze I'm planning on moving there in 3 yrs, after college and once I have money but its good to learn a little bit of an accent but not to insult
@@Foxikaze I was born I Wales moved to London when I was 3 I can switch between 2 accents London and the Welsh only shows when I'm talking to family or get excited 😂
Nah I'd say the Northern accent is the most difficult, (N.Wales) no one who hasn't lived here can do it, the south you just have to sound Jolly and do what he says in the video:P
He generalises that Welsh people all talk the same . Not the case ...... Cardiff Swansea...... Brecon.......and the valleys all have their own particular characteristics.
besides the accent, one thing I love about the welsh way of speak is putting, sometimes, the subject and verb at the end of a phrase, like in: admiring the view I was. also I guess that they use "gosh" more than in other places in britain. I'm not an expert! the serie "stella" brought me here!
'we' (at least where i'm from in the south) basically never say gosh. I would consider gosh to be very RP or BBC english. the subject/verb thing could be a side effect of the welsh language, which is how it goes. 'Yr oeddwn yn edmygu'r olygfa' or something like that.
I think that your Welsh video is probably the most accurate. For the Welsh saying that they don't sound like that- it's quite possible that you don't, but it is hard to step back and interpret how we speak. I'm an American from the Chicago area, and don't have a perceived accent, but whenever I travel people can tell I'm from midwest United States, and sometimes even from Chicago!
Oh Lordy lol. I'm welsh but to anyone outside of England I'm told I sound English. English people say I sound welsh. My fella is Scottish and he says I have welsh phrases but not a string accent.
I am from Georgia, Tbilisi and I find Northern Dublin accent the most sutable for me, the most natural and it's funny ass well, you speak and you get in good mood. I don't know much about Welsh accent, but from what I've heard it's lovely and in general all the accent are lovely, except American of course :D
I'm outside England, but I can recognize a Welsh accent when I hear it. I'm in the small minority of yanks who knows anything about... well, much of anything at all, actually.🙄 (That's not me bragging. I know it's truly not saying much to know more than the average American.)
One of my favorite and easiest phrases to say in a Welsh accent comes from a quote I made up for a character, Nia from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. "I'll have your head for that one!" The h's are basically non-existent, and it's just so fluid. (Ah'll 'ave yer 'ead fa'that one!) (With the sharp 'r' of course)
let’s see if i can get the fourth accent of my life (and i have yet to be able to go backwards so then i’ll just be welsh i guess). for anyone curious (if ever this comment is seen) the accents i’ve had throughout my life are as follows: - preston (northern england) - kiwi (new zealand) - australian (mostly made me sound confused, perth). all have been distinct, though. this is what happens when someone with extremely impressionable mannerisms is moved to different countries.
My family on my mum's side are all from the Welsh Vall-eys. (South), so I love the accent, which is indeed very musical sounding. It's interesting to note that when anyone imitates a Welsh accent it will always be from the South. Oddly enough, in my mum's day, very few could actually speak Welsh. In the North of Wales however, it is a different story. Many people from certain towns do speak Welsh as their first language, but when they speak English, it is not the same musical accent, it is more 'clipped' sounding and less distinct, (which is probably why it is less recognisable). As for North Welsh people who are not Welsh speakers, their accent comes across more like watered-down Scouse.
I’m from North Wales and lived there until the age of 7. Welsh was my 1st language and shortly followed by English. I then moved to the states where I was bullied because no one could understand me. So I was immediately put into “speech” class to “correct” my accent. And still as a 30 year old woman I retain certain parts of my Welsh accent and honestly wish I wasn’t forced to “correct” it just because others couldn’t understand me and bullied me.
The North Wales and South Wales accents and dialects are so different it's nearly a whole different language, for example I lived in South Wales until I was 5 and developed a very strong accent, so when I moved up to North Wales I could barely understand anything anyone said to me and other people would fail to understand me, but now I've lived up north for so long I've adapted to their accent/dialect, and now I totally can't understand what my old South Walian friends tell me :L funny language
Ace Black Particularly the 'new england' accent, sound nasally and sharp on the ears. Some are more annoying than others. And this is from an american, probably more so for other countries. I live in the south but have a somewhat neutral accent, i hate the southern accent because of the stigma attached to low intelligence, but it is nice on the ears in my opinion.
Love it, it's so musical. But I love most accents, mine is about the most basic and uninteresting American one you can get. It's from Colorado, which is the most generic accent in the country.
Not just a South Walian accent, but more specifically a Swansea valley accent. You will find that Cardiffians and Gwent people, or Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire people speak quite differently
To the other fellow Welsh who says his impersonation isn't spot on, it is. Some Welsh accents sounds like this. Mine doesn't but I've heard people with this accent speak. It's spot on. You'll see how different Welsh people have different accents by seeing some of my videos when playing with friends.
You already have the accent if your from South Wales, I don't believe I have a south welsh accent until I went to London and no one could understand me 😁
This is an example of one type of South Wales 'valleys' accent. It Definitely doesn't cover all of South Wales but any means. For example, I live in Cardiff (about 10 miles from the valleys) and the local accent is 'totally different'! Same goes for Swansea, Newport, Bridgend etc...
I came here from a reddit post where someone went to American school and lost their Welsh accent but over time had to now fake it because their mum didn’t like their “fake American accent.”
i came here cuz i just love hearing the Welsh accent. i just love it. but some names, i have no idea how to pronounce - even tho i'm really good at foreign languages. *I JUST LOVE WELSH*
Y and W are vowels. The Y is used as an i (as in the word "it" or how an i is pronounced usually, oh it's used as "The" when at a start of a sentence)....The W is used a U and the oo sound. DD is Th, and the LL...well, I'll leave that with you! 😉
The accent is because of the pronunciations in the Welsh alphabet, so that is why the people who speak the actual Welsh language have this accent when speaking English.
I think the pronunciation sounded so off because he was carrying out all parts of the phrases. What I mean is that, if this man were playing a part with a South Wales accent, he'd likely not take so long to say the sentence "John, what are you doing?" I'm an American, and I've been practicing my South Wales accent for a stage show I'm in. Even as somebody whose not even from the UK, he sounded off to me. But I figured I'd try to say it anyway. As I said it faster and faster, approaching a normal pace for speaking, it sounded much more reasonable. Is this where you think his accent didn't sound right, or is this not a good place for me to seek videos for quasi-voice lessons?
I'm laughing myself silly I'm Welsh I grew up in America but I can still talk like this with no problem lol America girls love when I use my real voice hahaha 😂
Let me explain this to all of the other Welsh people who either laughed to death or got slightly offended by this. Im going up to a Welsh (language) comp next year so I know what I'm talking about. He spoke in a Cwmbran accent, or tried to, but not many people speak like that anymore so it just sounds weird It also explains why people from England who try to speak Welsh speak like that. Mae'n amlwg for y dyn 'ma heb ymarfer Cymraeg ddigon.
