@sarahharvey9783 Жыл бұрын

She said in an interview that they didn’t want to make the Russian accent really strong and almost wanted a bit of a mix so you couldn’t exactly pin point where she’s from because she has gone to so many different countries and hasn’t been in russia for years she felt like the character wouldn’t have a thick Russian accent. She also said that she made it a little stronger for the episodes when she was back in Russia because she said that her scouse accent is always strongest when she is back in Liverpool and she felt it would be the same for other people and their accents. I really love what she did with it and how she thought so much about how someone would actually sound if they had lived that life rather than just doing loads of strong accents

jodie’s acceptance speech for her emmy win had a very good example of the scouse intonations you were talking about. she was emotional in it but the way her voice cracks and goes up when she says “tIIIiime” at the end is easily one of the most adorable things ever.

The word scouse is derived from a Nordic or Scandinavian origin. It refers to a type of stew that was introduced into Liverpool by Norwegian sailors called lobscouse. In reality the accent has strong influences from many countries because of the port status of Liverpool.

hey another great video. Finding a true 'scouse' accent, that people could associate with (for vid purposes) is difficult within the acting community but Jodie sounds like the industry hasn't changed much of her accent yet making a good example. A lot of letters are not pronounced on Merseyside and when becoming an 'actor' those letters are generally added back into speech allowing more understanding but completely changing the way they speak. The inclination at the end of the sentence, within this video, is both emphasising the severity of the statement and seeks the listeners understanding.

It’s the Scandinavian/ other parts of Europe “kk” I think it’s from German and Scandinavian. The accent is influenced by alot because of people who came in on the ports. The thing about Scouse is that it changes depending on what part of Liverpool you’re from, Jodie is probably from the city centre of Liverpool because she has the very high to low to high sort of accent, on the more urban parts of Liverpool it is a deep and slow accent but they both have the growl of k the part of Liverpool I was born has the slower and deeper one but I know plenty of people when I was in school had the city centre one.

The Scouse accent has a lot unique features that you cannot find anywhere else in England but to me the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of this accent is the *intonation* Of course they have a lot of slang words etc but the intonation is so distinct!

Thanks as always, Teacher Tom! I admired Ms. Comer's Russian accent but now even more so. Here in Mexico, both when we are learning English and in teacher training courses, they emphasize sooo much that we shouldn't pronounce the final g in an -ng ending, like in the word "song", so it was so nice to hear you say that some English dialect variations do use it!! Thank you so much!!

@andywilliams7323 2 жыл бұрын

No, the Blackpool accent is completely different. The Blackpool accent is a form of the Lancashire accent. It doesn't sound anything like Scouse. Liverpool used to have a form of the Lancashire accent prior to the massive immigration from Ireland in the mid-1800s onwards which led to Liverpool developing its own completely different and unique Scouse accent.

Most accents in the UK have changed dramatically since the 60s. Not only in Liverpool but everywhere. If you analyse the London accent, you will find it is now heavily Influenced by a more diverse population. The same thing can be said of Liverpool and any other multicultural city. Also, I think that TV has played a major part in the constant development of regional dialects.
