Reviews of Amy's Teaching Sessions:
"Right after the first lesson, my director told me I had already improved. It was easy to work with Amy: she has the rare and beautiful quality of being a shining person, solar and with huge energy to give..." Daniele Favilli Actor
"I have gone through speech therapy my entire life. I have also been teased about a speech impediment my entire life. No one could convince me to open up and really work on my voice, until I met Amy. She creates a very inviting and encouraging environment. Working on a "downfall" is such a venerable time but with Amy, I was always eager to receive feedback from her. " Bo Roberts Model, Actor
"Amy is a sheer delight to work with! Her 'amiable' nature and intuitive teaching style make working with dialects both an entertaining and natural experience. I look forward to training with her again and again in the future!" Mara Junot Voice-Over Specialist
"I was talking to my husband today after practicing from our tapes, and he said that this is the best improvement in accent he had ever heard from me!"

I took a linguistics course in college and my professor said that the California accent is the one linguists really hate. She said that somehow, the Middle English dialect, which was presumed dead, made its way clean across the continent to the West Coast, that is, the way words are pronounced. Linguistics is fascinating! You learn how to listen to yourself and how your regional accent compares to others. I'm proud of my California accent. Accent elimination is so sad, everyone should be proud of theirs whatever it is.

Accents naturally disappear with mutual exposure, and this is just a result of becoming more connected. It's a conscious thing to retain your accent, like when I worked in Hawaii, I spoke with a standard Californian accent, but when I hung out with friends, I spoke with a more local Hawaiian accent. But I know what you mean about accent elimination. Some people or places prefer certain accents, esp in societies that are highly dependent on class, like the UK, Japan, and India, and it would be great if social status and class weren't connected to ways of speaking.

Having your accent change is just one of those things you never think about while you are living in another country, you just adapt to what you hear around you.

I was born in Maryland. After I'd left for a number of years, I came back, and heard how Southern all my friends sounded. I had lost that comfortable Maryland drawl, and picked up a Canadian "ou" from living in Northern Vermont. I think I pick up a lot of regionalisms, but only if I actually like them. I was in England once and heard a Bostonian American who had not lost a bit of his Boston accent, but had overlaid it with a British accent. It sounded HORRIBLE.
@WK-bo6qv 3 жыл бұрын
@@steveneardley7541 I grew up on the North Shore in Massachusetts, one of the last places other than Boston itself that still has a fairly strong (though still weak) representaton of the regional accent (though it differs from town to town). Meanwhile my dad is from Maryland, and their accent is unfortunately very, very unknown everywhere else. He has a drawl of sorts but you can only really hear it if you’re listening for it. I think the Maryland accent is fun and should get some more press. But maybe it’s for the better that it doesn’t because nobody I know from outside my area can ever get the Boston accent right. I myself have a tough time imitating the accent but I can kind of do it to entertain my friends. Went hiking in New Hampshire with a friend once and some woman who I’m certain is from Maryland asked us something and he was bewildered by how she sounded. Another time, I was in Providence with some college friends mainly from Maine and New Jersey and we stopped to talk to a police officer and I was the only one who could understand his accent. I love accents and lingustics and they’re one of the coolest subjects to learn about

It sounded more like the eastern part of North Dakota/western part of Minnesota, like that Fargo type accent sort of. Wisconsin, though? No. Wisconsin's accent has a specific cadence to it, that's pretty tough to mimic correctly. You almost have to be from there in order to do that one.

One negative thing that has come with the popularity of television and the internet is the loss of regional accents, in my opinion. Since most actors/actresses sound like they don't possess any accent, they're just kinda "normal", my generation has learned to subconscious imitate that "normal" accent. I'm from North Carolina. My mama constantly tells me that I sound like the people on TV. It's so disappointing because I love the Southern accent. I wish I had it more.

The landscape and climate doesn't necessarily effect dialect that strongly. Her explanations are only corollary. Although there is a subject of linguistics dedicated to how physical geography effects language, for example, there might me certain sounds, volumes, tones, etc. that are easier to make in a warm humid environment than in a cold dry one, for example.

Ann is great. I was raised in Central California and teach seminars with attendees from all across the U.S. We got to talking about accents and students said I sounded like I was from north Texas/ Oklahoma. California Central Valley regional inflection comes from the Dust Bowl migration of the Okies' in the 40's & 50's as they settled in farming areas from Redding all the way down to Bakersfield. The country music sound you hear today originated out of Bakersfield because of proximity to Los Angeles recording studios, not in the South. Central Valley is, like, totally different from the Coastal regions, dude.

She nailed the California accent mostly for women, less for men. That California accent transformed from a more neutral accent & 'dialect' when I was a teen in the '60's. It's really the 'Valley Girl' sound that took hold from the San Fernando Valley over decades after the '80's. My daughter talks like that because she's a native Californian born in the '70's. The earlier 'neutrality' was a result of people from all over the country flooding into California & somewhat mixing their American accents.

The Midwest has a lot more variation than you think. In the northeast of the Midwest, you hear a lot of what you were talking like, but if you go to the Midwest, you get a more standard version of English. If you go a little bit south, especially in places like Cincinnati, Dayton, etc, you get a lot more southern and Appalachian influence in the way we talk. In Southwest Ohio, where i’m from, you even get just a little Irish influence, since there are so many families who are descendants of Irish and German families who immigrated to Appalachia.

There are four fundamental aspects of accent shifting, which are articulation, phonation, resonance, prosody (Amy calls this melody), and if you familiarize yourself with these four aspects, you can hone into what exactly that bit is that's skewing the accent.

Lia you probably think you pronounce "t" in final position but you don't. English has what are called unreleased final stops, we put our mouth in the position for the stop but don't release it. Say "too" then try to say "cat" with the SAME "t" at the end of "cat" that you had at the beginning of "too". It sounds strange and unnatural and it's hard to do. Most English speakers don't pronounce "t" in unstressed medial position either, in normal conversation "Santa Barbara" is pronounced "Sanna Barbara" (though people imagine they're saying that "t") and "bottle" is pronounced "boddle".
