I really like when she says "Cruella"

Considering that most American actors are pretty bad at faking British accents, Emma's was pretty decent. But you can still tell she's not native even without knowing she's from the States

The fact shes American i think she did a great job at a British accent especially since Cruella speaks so posh and most British people don't speak as posh as her i think she nailed it

I love when she says "Anitta Darling, my darling" 😍

Have you seen Emma in The Favorite? She co-stared that film along with Olivia Coleman (who won the Oscar) and Rachel Wise. Her British accent is even more impressive, since Cruella is a cartoonish character and the lines and the way of speaking are sometimes over the top.

She's got the accent spot on, tip top performance!

I think she did a great job, much better than any American actors !!!

Emma Stone killed it! Her accent and delivery are appropriately over the top as Cruella. She did a subtler work for The Favourite, which was also great.

Love this accent! 🤩 and the movie too

Emma Stone and family are actually from Scottsdale, Arizona. However, she performed in many theatre productions at the Valley Youth Theatre, which is near downtown Phoenix. There's a poster on an outside wall showing Emma winning her best actress Oscar for La La Land.

Definitely a *hit!* it was the first movie I’ve seen Emma Stone in and I legit thought she was British! 😃👍

She nailed everything.

For an American, she's doing a pretty decent job (they usually do some weird mix of Cockney and something else when trying to imitate a British accent...) but I have to say, as a Yorkshire lass, I'd really love to hear an American imitate another accent other than London/southern ones!!

Imagine a conversation between Cruella and John Maclean. Iconic.

I do various British accents all the time! I'm also quite good at them. I notice all these little things like "on," "darling," "past," and "actually." Not saying I'm perfect (and in fact, I'm always trying to get better) but it's fun anyway! Side note: I knew this air traffic controller who worked SFO tower and her uptalk was insane. "Redwood 249, wind 300 at 7, runway 28R, cleared to land????" 🤦‍♂ I was like "is she asking or telling us?"

Uptalk is a very recent trait though, and you can hear it in younger generations that sound almost like they are asking a question all the time.

Great work with this video Tom! Enjoyed it

It's very challenging for people speaking another language or accent like natives. Emma literally efforts to do that, kudos to her.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It would be awesome if you made a video talking about Lohan's british accent in the parent trap

Wow, this video was superb. Its been quite a while since last time I watched one of your videos. Please, just carry on with your amazing work.

Yes! Thanks a bunch for making this video!!

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

You speak a very clear and clean English that I can understand all you say! Love that. Really good video-analysis btw ;)

Fantastic video and fantastic movie. Difficult to understand sometimes because we can find here the two extreme accents,rp and cockney . One interesting video would be that analysing the accent from the two Cruella 's friends. Don't you think Tom?All the best from Spain.

More videos for British English, please. Great video man.

Amazing, man. Many thanks for this!

Thanks for the video soooo much🙃

Thank you for all these features 🤩😍

Hi Tom Another good suggestion to make comments about her accent would be British accent Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Plumette in Beauty and the Beast), she's got a mixed background since her father comes from South Africa and her mother from England. All the best from Spain Carlos M.S. PS: I'm looking forward to read your book. It sounds really interesting.

Great Since the time I have watched it , I've been wanting to talk in british accent and this video helped me a lot Thanks!

Hi Tom! I'm a new member, I hope you doing alright! I really enjoy the work that you make! Your videos are so useful and fun to watch!

Hello, Tom. Do you consider to make a video about "Derry Girls "? It would be very interesting, very interesting accent and context

Great video as always...😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I didn't know that about "uptalk"...😯 I'm impressed. I loved it! 💛

Thank you Tom for the video

I love this!!! Thank you! Something fun: my dad told me that I sounds weird when I'm speaking english trying to get more british. And now... I know that I'm ok! Thank you😊😁

Thank for this nice video!

Both Emmas nailed everything here. Period

I've seen the film and I love her British accent 🙂👍

🤩 thank you!

Emma stone is so gorgeous af

My school switched from American to English english class so my english is a total mess and so is my writing idk how to fix that most of it I learned by watching tv or the telly so there’s no way I’ll let go of my American crime or my British comedies Best part? I get to pick all the best curse words! Focking hell is my fav

I’m such a fan of the British accent :)… and your videos are always great! Tks

Great Video!!!

Exactly! It's about places of articulation ;)

I've been waiting for this! Cruella's so iconic✨ Thank you for the amazing lesson

Hi.. "The problem may be an external wiring related or it might be related to his network adapter." 1.Can I use both 'may be' and 'might be' in that sentence? 2. There should be 'an' before external right?

Many thanks mate 👍

I need to see this film! I've also been looking into getting a dog lately :D

Need to watch that movie. It seems awesome. Show us your new dog as soon as you get one Tom!

When she said 'hang on' she said 'hang' in an american accent and 'on' in an English accent lol.

I am obsessed with cruella

From what I hear in the clips you've chosen, it feels like she goes back and forth, she gets some sounds and some she definitely misses, I'm afraid.

She got the accent down yo perfection

I love ❤️ this one 🔥

Hi Tom!!!

I'm gonna do it. Learn English with cruella in Indonesian. But it definately Will be different.

How about Lily James? I love her 😍

Well yes it was accurate indeed, but Cruella de Vil's accent is supposed to be more Mid-Atlantic

HER VOICE IS REALLY ATTRACTIVE

I love brit accent..charming.

i thought it sounded more like someone with a thick italian/french accent. nevertheless, i loveeeee the movie and emma stone nailed it

You know you did a good job with an accent when someone from the location where the accent is from makes a full-length video explaining how well you nailed the accent. RIP

I LOVE when she says Anita darling my darling😍❤️✋

It was relatively good in the context that RP is usually done very badly by American actors. I think the problem is that they tend to focus on select sounds; "ah" "uh" "ih". The problem is that they often do tend to ignore all the rest (or are otherwise unaware). The biggest mistake I often see in people who attempt RP is that they seem to think absolutely everything should be said with the larynx pushed down and resonance in the back of the throat. Some sounds definitely belong there, but by no means all do lol. That's where it starts to lose authenticity, especially if it is dipping in and out regularly. However, as I said earlier, in the grand scheme of things it was still relatively better than other attempts (but that bar isn't particularly high lol).

The American “on” being sounding like ahn is Midwest. As I’m East Coast American I use the aw for “on.”

Very important for English teachers...

Love it would love a speak English like arrdee video tho

Kindly suggest good british english learning movies . Thanks

love

Hi tom love you from Algeria

I haven't seen the film yet and only got up to where you say she's using RP early on in the video. I would have assumed she's be using a transalantic accent since the orignal cartoon made a point of that, and I remember she had said at some point she had learnt the transatlantic accent with a dialect coach for another movie before she got the part for that one. It turns out they didn't want her to have a transatlantic accent for the other movie, and that Cruella was a bit of a long time in the making so I assumed it would be used in Cruella too and that disney had approached her because of it. Edit: and I have seen a clip of her saying "Anita, darling" which is a reference to the animation which is very over the top and I can expect other references to pop up even if they're not specific. If you look at the Cruella voice actor they talk about how purposfully over the top she was as a person and how her voice got stuck in this transatalntic theatrical one

I love conservative RP but I'll stick to modern RP 'cause it's my favourite one! I'm learning how to speak like that.

You should check out “The Favourite” by Emma Stone, one of the best British lesbian period dramas I’ve ever seen

I think its more of a Transatlantic Accent as she can do that already but mayve she’s made it a little more British but overall very good and suited the character

thoughts on timothee chalamet's accent in The King ?

One about tom hiddleston plssss🙌🏻😁

I learned the RP

6:33: I think you're dead on there. They omit the question, "You know what I mean?" or "You know?" at the end of a sentence, but still ask it non-verbally by simply raising intonation. The listener is therefore "treated" to a series of statements that sound like questions. What fun. 😉

🔥

Man, she sounded so amazing and I enjoyed the movie! Good explanation

At least you can understand her. When western movies use asian languages, natives can barely even understand what they are saying.

The way she said together sounded a bit off, but one of the best if not the best British RP I’ve heard from an American.

I don't know much about emma stone and i thought she's british, and I searched her on google and i was surprised 'cuz she's american. Now, I watching all her movies.

She sounds like Liz Hurley crossed with Joan Collins in the clip, it’s not bad but it doesn’t sound natural, she’s concentrating so hard on her pronunciation & enunciation, even her mouth shapes look as though she’s trying really hard to get it right. Maybe those clips aren’t representative of the film as a whole. It is nice though to see an American playing an English villain for a change.

how about Eleanor Tomlinson? Can we do one british accent from her?

Hey Tom please do KATY PERRY english analysis

Can i contact you?

Hahahaha her r hahahahaha i luv it

💙💙💙

I feel like many of us Americans can easily reproduce English (in particular) vowel sounds, but we can't really hear and therefore reproduce the musicality of British speech. It seems to involve the elongation and strong emphasis of certain words and syllables that we don't emphasize as well as a completely different use of pitch. When I did a study abroad at Cambridge many years ago, my US peers and I giggled a lot mainly because of the unfamiliar pitches and emphasis of certain words in sentences that we were not accustomed to hearing. After dinner, the servers would walk down the line at the table and ask "Coffee?" ("KOH?-feh?"), sounding to us as if they were singing it. A reading of an old English poem called "The Rape of the Lock" unfortunately made me laugh because of the strange (to my ear) power-emphasis of certain words. In my Tennyson class, even just the professor's way of saying "the princess" was striking-yes, because she stressed prin-CESS where we say PRIN-cess, but also because of the heft of her voice during the stressed second syllable, and the slight lingering on it. I don't think any American accents really do anything similar. Some southern US accents do involve a lot more musical intonation than the rest of the much flatter national way of pronouncing words, but I can't think of any US dialect that involves saying certain words in all sentences in such a powerful, "punchy" way. The TV character Frasier Crane sort of does this in his theatrical way, but it's really preposterous and it's part of the comedy of the sitcom Frasier because no one here really speaks this way, whereas everyone in the UK does. I studied French in school and for a few years in college, and my study abroad in England left me feeling that British English is as influenced by French pronunciation as American English is by German and Dutch. Most American dialects seem to have been ironed out over time, with both spellings and pronunciations changed to eliminate any kind of ornamental, non-utilitarian aspects, whereas British English and French feel like they have more whimsicality and joie de vivre to them.

I xan do a good British accent just the thing is i kinda pronounce things kinda different

Emma stone is a brilliant actress.

Yeah I kinda felt it was a bit off but nevertheless her acting is great..

what about learn british accent with tom hiddleston?

I think her British accent is very good but not 100% convincing. When you see the scenes of her with Emma Thompson, it's obvious which one of them is native British. In Stone's accent, although the sounds she's making are pretty accurate, it just doesn't quite hang together properly. I say that sympathetically though (I really like Emma as an actress) - improving by that final inch or so would take a huge amount of work, and also I think it's hard when an actor is doing an accent in a very theatrical performance like Cruella, since audiences who are listening to an accent critically will often naturally read theatricality as being wrong in terms of accuracy. I thought Emma's British accent was better in The Favourite, which is a less theatrical performance

Sir, what happened to your microphone? you should have a tie mic by now. Please, with the due respect, improve that sounds. cheers and keep it up!

Anitah Dahling

Dude i forgot she was american while watching cruella lol

This film made me question if she is any sort of relating to British background (as a non-background speaker's perspective)

I went to a school where everyone spoke with Received Pronunciation and i now speak with RP I am 19 years old now and I left school when I was 16
