How to do an Irish Accent

In this video, we're going to learn how to speak an Irish accent.
Whenever you're learning a new accent, it helps to isolate sounds that are specific to that accent. So as we play with these sounds, I encourage you to pause the video and practice these words out loud. They may feel strange at first, but they become beautiful once you live in them a little.
💚 For the sake of my green-blooded friends, please note that not all Irish accents sound the same. Every region, county, and town seems to have it's own unique quality. The accent that I teach in this video is modelled after the beautiful and talented actress Saoirse Ronan. She grew up about an hour-and-half South of Dublin in Carlow, Ireland. I just love her lilt!
The first major sound within the Irish accent that gives it a wonderful jumping off place, is the Irish I. In an Irish accent, it is less, I and more Oi (as in oil). Start first, just getting the sense of it, and then gradually understate it.
Part 1: Sounds
I
height
sight
plight
right
Ireland
Practice sentence: Fortune smiled upon him in Ireland. It’s not quite the right shade of blue. I’ll be having some of that oil.
Next, we have our R sounds. In an Irish accent, the R’s are certainly pronounced.
Park
start
Garden
Work
Hard
Earth
worth
Practice sentence: You’re such a hard worker. What on earth are you doing? When do you start school?
Our next sound is the shift from Ow to EHW.
Mouth
hour
sour
Flower
down
Round
pound
sound
how
Practice sentence: We don’t have to go to
work for another hour. Lemons are sour. Flowers grow in the garden.
Practice works from OH to OWH
Home
blown
alone
grown
Stone
known
road
load
coat
feel the vowel come all the way to the lips while opening the throat.
Practice sentence: I know I met him on the road a short time ago.
Part 2: Melody and Pitch
The irish accent is known for being very melodic. The phrases tend to have a up and down sort of dreamy lilt to them.
Don’t take it so personal.
And that was the sort of this he wanted to tell me ya’ see.
Would you care to go out?
Sure, and that’ll be the end of it.
Longer practice phrases
Wait till I tell ya’s what I read in the paper. I never heard the like in me life!
Like I says to ya’s. That’s really very true. And sure you’ll be after knowing the truth of it, somewhere along the road anyways.
It’s not a date the way you’re thinking and I’m done telling ya. End of discussion.

I wish all accent learning videos were structured like this. Too many just say the differences and only give a word example. The practice list for both words and sentences on top of hearing you repeat them several times is so much better. Specially for someone like me who catches on to accents quickly by hearing it over and over again. Hearing the breakdown helps but hearing it in extended practice solidifies it for me.

Well I mean different parts off America have different accents too technically, and because I've moved around the states so much no one can really pin point which part of the states I'm from. So, I get your point but personally I feel like it adds a bit more realism to the accent in the sense that maybe the character you're trying to portray has moved around a lot. That's just me though

Being Irish and having an Irish accent makes it interesting to listen to American - English speakers do the accent. I guess when people get it spot on it makes stereotypes like the Lucky Charms accent sound so fake. Fantastic job Madeleine ! One tip; many places in Ireland have different accent so, like mine for example, (which is a Corkian ( I’m from County Cork )accent ) would sound different opposed to a Dublin accent, or a Wicklow accent.

I found you clearer than any instructor for Irish accent ever! Especially the comparison with the English sounds, the repetition provided with a list of similar sounding words, and the very evocative descriptions of things like the "small" sounds, the bending, etc. I do have questions on three areas I've noticed but would love instruction on: 1. The lingering on the "L" sound; 2. the dropping of the "g" at the end of "ing"; and the very articulated "t" and "tt" sounds (eg., little). I've noticed these things but don't know how to work them. Might you help in your clear way? Thank you, Madeleine!

I grew up around American accents (even though I'm mostly Irish and Scottish) so I lost my accent, and this helped me get it back! Thanks!

Hello! I'm from Ireland, the South West county of Kerry. Here in Kerry we have this weird thing where everytime we say a word with an S we pronounce it SH. So it'd be Shound instead of sound. Also, your R is more Northen Ireland and The O and I are more Dublin/Midlands as far as I can tell. Decent video though.

I would love go hear a break down of a British accent. I know it's pretty common, but I really liked the way you laid this out, and it would be nice to see it with a British accent too.

Hi Madeleine, I'm from Ireland and this isn't too bad of an attempt it's certainly better than our attempt at an American accent! I have one tip for you and that is that a cúpla focal as gaeilge (a few words in Irish) are thrown into everyday conversation for example "craic" is the Irish word used for "fun" and "ceol" is the Irish word for "music". These words are usually used together to describe an event such as a family gathering or party for example "the craic agus ceol was mighty" meaning "the fun and music was great"! Slán leat!

Ciaran Cahill where exactly do they say that 😂😂😂 the rest of Ireland might say craic for what's the craic etc but don't say other Irish words like ceol we say music

@vomitdev 5 жыл бұрын

Where i’m from craic is used very liberally but most people don’t know a lot of irish as it isn’t mandatory to learn in school. So you’d see your friend and say “any craic” which is the same as like “what’s the bars” or “what’s happening?”(happening pronounced without the ‘p’ sound so you get “hannin”) and then some people use agus as a kind of filler between sentences but it’s not very common

Ciaran Cahill wow, thank you! I’m American and the Irish accent is my favorite. I could listen to it all day but it’s the one accent that I’m horrible at. Any other advice? Also, is American considered a difficult accent? Most Americans think we have no accent at all but speak the most bland type of English, aka boring. Cheers 😊

Thanks for making this video! I'm of Irish heritage, but without growing up around the accent, it didn't carry over to me. I'm trying to attend a historical group, and in order to do it, I have to be in character, accent and all. Now thanks to this video, I can do my Irish brethren proud!
