i’m getting ready for an audition for a play at my high school; my first real chance at a lead! this is extremely helpful and i’m much more confident in getting ready for this audition, thank you so much!! :)
For the last play I'll be doing at my seconndary school before I leave, we're doing Little Shop Of Horrors and I'm aiming to be Audrey. Hopefully, my accent research will be evidence of dedication and I'll get some extra points ;)
It seems that in most productions of "Little Shop of Horrors," "Audrey" speaks with a Brooklyn accent...so you've come to the right place. Break a leg!
Gents, I’d concentrate more on the burrows than NYC - they lay on thicker at the burrows than in the big city where everything gets just a tad diluted. Think “Curly” of The Three Stooges.
Ya know, why anybody would PERPOSELY develop Brooklynese is beyond me. What's it gonna get you?? I grew up in a pretty crappy Brooklyn neighborhood in the 1950's/60's. Now called Greenwood Heights, we called it Bush terminal or Industry City. Our teachers went nuts tryin' to learn us elocution and correct grammar. Didn't work in my case and I get tired of people askin' me if I'm from Brooklyn. I am but so what?? Been away from Fun City thirty two years now and my accent gets stronger when inebriated. Ain't half as bad as when I lived there and some words do slip out; goil (girl), cawfee (coffee), gonna (going to), terlet (toilet), radeata (radiator). Not for nothin' but, it's a bit embarrassing sometimes. I ain't gonna say FUHGEDDABOUDIT. Nice video though.
For context, I'm learning it so I can expand my range when I run my Dungeons and Dragons game, but apparently people learn it to get more roles in movies.

Break a leg!
I’m auditioning for newsies tomorrow and I really needed this
That’s honestly the perfect tie-in between the Cockney and the Brooklyn with the old newsboys thing. Hope you got the part!
Hope it went well for you!
I just got the part of lady macB in a 1920s mob-boss setting and this has helped so much!!!
FANTASTIC! Hope we're not too late to say, "Break a leg!"
Finally a non-comedic Brooklyn accent tutorial.
Thank you 🙏 I am fascinated by BK accent but not able to pick it up, now I am exited to find this Channel!
Delighted to hear that. Hope you've subscribed to the channel (said The Accents Class, subtly).
Best teacher period.
