    I am cuban and these are pretty closed. My dad would tell me
    "You need to focus." But it doesn't sound like that at all
    "You need to fuckus." And then I'd crack up.

    Robert Duvall plays a Cuban in a movie called, Wrestling Hemingway. Amazing! He knocked it out the field with his interpretation of a Cuban accent!

      @narratormatt  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Robert Duvall is excellent. I had to look him up on Wikipedia just now to see where he was born since he does southern accents so frequently and convincingly. Go figure, he's a Californian.

      ​@@narratormatt I was friends with this lady who was originally from Minnesota. She was a single mom who had an 11 year old daughter. Due to this fact she was forced to work two jobs so consequently her daughter pretty much grew up on her own. Most of this kid's friend were Cubans and in no time at all she learned Spanish - well I guess that I should call it , Cuban Spanish. Anyway, I met them both years later and my friend's daughter was already married and had a very successful career. While conversing with this young lady I could have sworn that she had a bit of accent when speaking in English. When we then spoke in Spanish - had I not known her - I would have assumed that she was Cuban. And yes, most Americans who have Cuban parents do have a noticeable accent. By the way, in my opinion, the best Cuban accent ever done, in the cinema, is by Robert Duvall in a film called Wrestling Hemingway. If you have any other questions do let me know; I'm retired and bored! Ha-ha!
      Un abrazo y saludos de Miami!

    From 4:30 on, this is pretty damn convincing. I'm Latino though not Cuban and stink at accents. Without a lot of practice, I don't think I could an accent this convincing. Despite growing up around plenty of Cubans.

    There's something in the tone of the voice that was missing. I can't clearly identify it. But I think I expected to hear a lower tone and maybe a more relaxed way of pronouncing words.

    what resources did you use to help inform your accent? I've been trying to search for material but have had minimal luck

    • @narratormatt
      @narratormatt  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's challenging, isn't it? I got a sample from an immigrant student of a friend. However, nothing quite beats International Dialects of English Archive (IDEA). Have you tried that?

    Interesting ! Your approach is thorough and not a mere imitation. I was expecting some lines from Scarface but instead of Tony M., the Cuban character kind of sounded like Fez of "That 70's Show". :)

    • @briannab4037
      @briannab4037 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also if the accent sounds the same as other hispanic accents its probably because your ears aren't tuned to hear the difference. Just like I can't for the sake of my life differentiate most accents from Great Britain except by placing them in broad categories.

      sorry but that's not the case for me at all he does not sound Cuban and believe it or not there are huge differences between different Hispanic, Caribbean and Spanish accents i live in a very diverse area where there are all sorts of Hispanics, Latinos, Caribbean people from Spain or Peru and its ALL different if anything HIS ears aren't tuned enough to hear the difference
