  5. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    Leave it to a Brit director to plunge Ancient Greece into a sea of American accents. Hell, even Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson are hissing at each other like Yanks. What gives‽

    I expect my stage & screen ancients to have crisp, Oxbridge diction, not mumbling like Robert Mitchum.

    Hit those consonants hard, thespians!

  7. My partner and I went to dinner with friends last night and they asked him about where they put the vehicles repaired and waiting for repair at the garage he works for. Thus commenced a response about cahs, yahds, pahkin and garahges. Boston is losing its accent but not with this guy. I deserve an extra cocktail for controlling my laughter. #Bawstin #accents

  9. I have a question specifically for people from the British Isles. What do you think about the final "t" in the word "restaurant" being silent or audible?

    A — must be silent; that's just the way it's pronounced correctly
    B — silent is posh, audible is normal
    C — silent is British, audible is non-British (North American, for example)
    D — something else (please add comment to elaborate)

    Boosts appreciated!

  11. Worked with an #acting #coaching client on #regionalisms, #accents and #dialects they absorbed where they were during their formative years speaking. Got into specifics of how placements and vowels can shift. Good to hear them do text various ways shifting between things.

  17. Working with an #acting #coaching client on an accent with material that lands so differently when more vowel substitutions are included. The entire feel of who their character is shifted. So cool to hear and see them explore those options.

  21. Facebook reminded me of this gem:

    My daughter's soccer coach had a schedule conflict and couldn't show up until the start of the second half. So I started warming the team up until the substitute coach arrived. When he showed up, he said to me -- and I quote:

    "Wot tame is kack-off mint tae be?"

    It took me a second to realize that A) he's from Scotland and B) he wanted to know when the match was scheduled to start.

  23. Delivery person: Thanks for the chip!

    My mouth: No worries!

    My brain:
    Did he have some of my chips?
    Can't be, I didn't order chips.
    Oh wait, did he mean 'tip'?
    Of course, he must be Brazilian.
    Oh, he's gone now.

  25. Has anyone noticed that trump speaks with some features of the #Iowan accent? I don't think it's the accent exactly, more the cadence or enunciation maybe? I noticed this when listening to interviewees at the Iowa state fair.

    I then discovered that the Iowan accent is considered the most friendly and wondered if he'd adopted this way of speaking purposefully. Fake like his tan, hair, height, weight etc.

    Would love to get some opinions.
