I came here looking for British accents examples and I found an Intrepid Hero!! See you in the stars!!
See you at Basrar's!
See you in tartar!
This was the first time I saw Siobhan and I've always tried to follow her career. When I stumbled upon an TH-cam Short of Dimension 20 first season I was so happy. I would say she's my favorite player from the Intrepid Heroes, but they're all so excellent!
Somewhere on this channel there is a reference to raspberry mustard.
See you in the cars!!
"That looks a lot like Siobhan Thompson."
"Hi I'm Siobhan Thompson."
"Oh."
Ms. Thompson, @AnglopheniaTV, this is an amazing roleplaying game resource. THANK you all.
Had the exact same reaction
I SCREAMED
I watched anglophenia ya know, 9 years ago, and just recently got into dimension 20 (and then dropout). It never clicked until I had that exact reaction!
Been with Siobhan since day 1. I love to see how she grew.
Are you her mum?
@@russellcunningham2781 can you tell?
@@russellcunningham2781 or they’re a Dropout fan
@@aduckwithayoutubechannelor possibly a former archaeologist colleague of Siobhan’s
She is now 12 feet tall.
I really appreciate that Siobhán clarified that Dublin is not a part of the UK! Often we’re lumped in with Britain so I appreciate her making that distinction
Still thrown in as the seventeenth British accent though
@@DJPK222 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles
It's complicated by the fact that Ireland is part of the British Isles (the UK, ireland and surrounding small islands), but it is NOT part of Great Britain which is the largest of the british isles and includes only England, Scotland and Wales. Mostly when people say "Britain" they mean "Great Britain".
With a name like Siobhan, you’d hope she’d be sympathetic toward the sentiment!
@@marklangridge2734 It's not complicated at all. Ireland isn't part of the British Isles, and it isn't British, nor English.
Only people misled by old English propaganda will say otherwise. They are known for saying nonsense like "it's just a geographic term".
Don't swallow the lies.
I'm convinced the UK has about 100 accents for each square mile
Nothing special, a lot of regions have that diversity
Like where ?
every family is developing its own accent haha
It's kinda similar to Indonesia, just in Indonesia's case it's a bit like 100 languages/ square mile.
I remember in My Fair Lady the linguist was able to tell where a person was from based on their accent, even down to the street
She looks like she’s having the time of her life
Yup
She's drunk.
@Sebastian xD
It made me happy to see how happy she was doing this.
Cheers us all up during these dark times
It’s so weird that I watched this 8years ago, came back to this and instantly recognized Siobhan from dimension 20….good for her!
My thoughts exactly!
Literally, me right now!! Oh my godsss
She's a college humour alumnus lol
Oh. OH! I didn't even realize. Holy shit.
Small world.
She was also a writer on Rick and Morty!
0:18 - Received Pronunciation (Standard middle/upper class)
0:39 - Heightened Received Pronunciation (Quite fancy)
0:53 - London/South (A bit rough)
1:08 - Norfolk/East Anglia (Flat and relaxed)
1:31 - Bristol/West Country (Very rounded)
2:00 - Cardiff/Southern Welsh (Intone and sing-songy)
2:13 - Gwynedd/Northern Welsh (Breathy and thick)
2:25 - Birmingham/Midlands (Low and defined)
2:46 - Liverpool/Scouse
2:58 - Preston/Lancashire
3:11 - Sheffield/Yorkshire (very flat)
3:27 - Newcastle/Geordie
3:44 - Edinburgh/Lowland Scottish (Snooty)
3:59 - Glasgow/Glaswegian (Thick and snooty)
4:12 - Inverness/Highland Scottish
4:26 - Belfast/Northern Irish (Intense vowels)
4:44 - Dublin/Southern Irish
Hope this helps anyone :)
Mmm yes Glasgow is so snooty
As someone who follows multiple Scottish TH-camrs, I have literally never heard a single person pronounce Glasgow the way Siobhan did in this video. Lmao
Very helpful thank you!
@@Hey-Its-Dingo Everyone speaks differently. :)
@@xx_sadcube_xx no shes just wrong but thats ok, she says it how someone from the Highlands would say it
I think that London has at least a dozen different accents all by itself.
Candide Thirtythree I think that London is the most likely place to hear any of these accents, and perhaps blended accents influenced by other places. That's just the nature of a large city. People pick up things they are exposed to over time, and it is natural that in a big city people are exposed to more accents more often.
I'm from London, I think people up in East London's is a lot stronger proper cockney. And North London speak a lot slower and calmer and south speak quite fast.
+Candide Thirtythree There are language experts who recon you can tie down an accent to within about a 6 mile radius. I recon that may no longer apply due to the effects of media and mobility. I think is is probably more like 12 miles nowadays. Though who knows, maybe computer analysis will be able to bring it back down again.
+Candide Thirtythree Same with areas in Lancashire and Greater Manchester, I'm from Bolton and my accent is quite a bit different from people that have grown up in Manchester/Salford and it's only like 12 miles away.
+Candide Thirtythree tonnes of different accents in northern Ireland as well!
Norfolk here. Nobody has said the 'com' in 'computer' for the last 40 years. It's a pooter.
Can confirm Im from Norfolk too its such an ugly accent :,)
It helped make Bernard Matthews a miullionaire....
And we especially don't pronounce the 't'.
And Norfolk differs from Norwich, and North Norwich differs from South Norwich.....and on it goes. She can only generalise.
David Wickes well hull on at Davurt, I shink you’re roight!!
This is Siobhan Thompson she’s a writer on Rick and Morty and a cast member on Dimension 20!
Wow. I knew she was from D20 but had no idea about Rick and Morty.
she's a writer on rick&morty???
I only knew her from CollegeHumor
Siobhan is such a gem, clicked on the video because I saw her in the thumbnail.
My grandmother could recognize what street you were from just by listening to you speak a few sentences. Mind, that was in the days when people didn't move around a lot and you married the girl from number 7 and then took up residence at number 18. Close knit communities, they were.
Oxford, the dictionary people, identified areas as small at 200 yards with dialect differences. Which supports your grandmothers observations.
Aye
This fact is truly amazing to me.
and had it away with the lady in number 11 Tuesday lunchtimes
I did my ancestry and seriously they were marrying the girl down the street. And didn’t move from the town for a century.
The scouse one was poor, I could understand every word
Jack Richards I’m from the countryside in England and I speak sort of like the person in this video, but all I know about scouse is what my dad taught me:
“If a’ dint drink me milk a’ wunt be gud ‘nough to ple’ for Accrington Stanley
“Accrington Stanley? Oo a the?
exAAActly”
Sorry if it’s not good, I’m only 10.
Jack Richards yeah scouse was actually horridly bad coming from a local, wonder how other locals of the other accents she did found it
Agree. Fancy a bevvy?
😂
I can understand everything the Beatles say, it isn't very hard.
she’s so fun and talented! I came back here after years, now knowing she’s directed rick and morty episodes
OMG?!
finding siobhan in this videos was such a shock lmao
How on Earth did we get so many different accents in such a small place as the UK?
Travel 50 miles in any direction and the accents will change dramatically.
Uk's been invaded alot and settled alot of times hence why there's different cultures/ accents everywhere.
That happenes to a lot of countries in Europe. It's the same in Germany even though the explanation seems a bit more logical since it was seperated into 10701790170109 1/2 (not an accurate number) little states... It goes as far as that for example the average bavarian (not the one from Munich) generally has to be subtitled when talking on tv.
UK regional and local accents are due to people not having any great mobility - at least not until the mid nineteenth Century. It has nothing to do with having been invaded - the last time that happened was nearly a 1,000 years ago.
Until the Industrial Revolution, and later the railways and bicycling, most people lived in the same town as their ancestors had done for hundreds of years, and accents remained very localised. You're wrong about travelling 50 miles though - travelling just to the next village (less than five miles away) would be enough to notice significant accent change, and sometimes they'd be more or less mutually incomprehensible. Travelling 50 miles away could mean passing through a dozen different accent zones, although most such local accent variations have given way to regional accents.
come to italy, I guess it's the same here. apart tuscan accent, I think every local accent has also his own dialect. many of them are so much different from italian that a person who comes form more than 150 miles away wouldn't understand half of the words, because they're totally different. E.G. chair is "sedia" in italian, "cadrega" in milan and "scrana" in bologna...
Tony England I'm English but the two accents I honestly do prefer are Highland Scottish and Welsh. Scotland has some fantastic accents, not just the harsher Glaswegian types but really musical-sounding and beautiful. Welsh accents I just find sexy lol.
she may not be the best but it's hard to pull off 17 accents one after another. props
So you think she did it in one take, despite the cuts?
The two Irish were really bad
The British Accent It's Already Hard So I Respect Her Who She Know Almost Every Single British Accent I Wish I Could Talk Classic Old School British Accent But I Can't Because I'm Not From Great Britain So What To Do?
@@christophermahony6928 That's because she comes from a really bad part of Ireland!
@@ChrisSalvatoreProductions The British Accent???
No such thing, Sir! 🤣
This was suggested to me today lol - I loved this video back in the day, and still love Siobhan to this day!!
I just had the realization that I'd seen this video long before I ever knew who she was 😂
Don’t know why this is recommended to me today but love Siobhan from Dimension 20
It's funny because as an American, we often just group them all into general "British" accent, yet I could hear and recognize the distinction in each one.
Some might, most don't.
We tend to lump US accents together, even though we know there is no one American accent.
The girl can’t do the accents properly, she did them terribly
I'm from the west country and have to say she was pretty spot on with the accent, Most of us do sound like Farmers unless your posh
Many Americans lump Australian, NZ, and S. African all in with British, which seems dumb...but few Brits can differentiate Canadian from American anyway.
As an English person idk why I’m watching this
I'm English too, but I live in London. I can tell if someone's from the East End, or north, RP, whatever. But anything north of the Home counties that isn't Scottish I cannot for the life of me tell apart.
Same
because you can't speak/know every british accent
Noor Siddiki that’s where you’d be wrong my friend.
I am English and I am watching to see if she is good. She is rubbish as the Birmingham accent . I have family from there.
Dear Siobhan, the 'æ' in the word 'accent' that you articulated at the beginning of the video (around 0:02) was so extraordinarily resounding that the sound is still echoing in my head.
Excellent! Not easy -17 accents in 5 minutes! I'm from Ednburgh and I think this is great. Well done!
Ya think UK has much accents? Go to Switzerland, we have one for each person...
Or each valley, which is nearly the same thing
That is because too much hill valley and bunker,especially last one..
Yeah, but you guys don't speak English so most people wouldn't even notice.
Quelle langue?
@@TheCynicalAutist Ok?
As a fan of College Humor and a VO artist working on my accents, I was shocked and also thrilled to see Siobhan here 😂
From southeastern U.S., she’s charming, spritely and cute as a button. I wonder if she’s considered cheeky? 🤷🏻♂️
Not sure the name of the accent, but in Braveheart there’s a line I love. William goes to pick up Murron (🤤) in the rain. Her father’s answer is “not the now”. With the accent, it’s so awesome. OH! And though I doubt Brits even hear it, the substitution of “me” for “my” is simply divine!
I know we in the States are annoying as we gush over your accents, but suppressing a compliment IN PERSON is almost asking too much. I try to hold out, knowing we do it so much. You have no idea.
🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴👍🏻😘
same i was like "holy shit what's she doing here"
I watched this video several years ago and then later got into dimension 20! Just now came back to the video and was also like! Siobhan!
this is seriously my favorite video on the internet and when I am feeling down I come back to it (like now) and it never fails to make me smile.
coming back to it again in 2024 just before i move to another country
This video popped into my feed and I haven't even thought about it for what feels like a decade or more - what a blast to the past! I don't think I even had my own youtube account when I last saw this. Fun video for sure 😁
“I speak American, British and Australian”
- Canadian
I speak dumbass
Some canadians have a little bit of a bristol accent
i speak south african too, beat that
Wow you speak British what the fuck no such thing daft arse
@@GDAWG1k they have more of an Irish accent when they say about, house or out.

Geordie Oliver Twist
I had no idea why youtube wanted me to see this and then bam its siobhan
Watched this a few years ago, and since then I've got dropout and have binged a lot of d20. Didn't realise it was Siobhan until now!
Just wanna say that really nailing a dialect is super difficult, many actors fall short even with intensive training from a dialect coach. So I think this is impressive
I think it’s a bit bold of her to say she knows all these accents when she butchered the Scottish ones.
From my experience of hearing locals speak all of these accents she's missed the mark on pretty much all of them. Can't fault her enthusiasm though.
@@gy8572 Same with Northern Ireland. Good effort but missed the mark a wee bit there
!!
@@gy8572 she never said she knew them technically speaking
A lot of american people (cough cough buzzfeed cough) need to watch this...
Leoni Moorhouse Interestingly enough Siobhan now works for Buzzfeed
Joanne Penn I feel kinda betrayed
Joanne Penn I thought she works for CollegeHumor?
***** Ah yes, you're right. I was thinking I saw her on Buzzfeed but I looked again and it was CH. But hey, same difference, really.
bob yenan You mean South-Easterners? Us West Country lads are proper unrecognised
siobhan thompson, youre my favorite person
This is great, I watched this before moving to the UK and again just now. It is a great general accent tour of the UK and Ireland. 😊
Her accents a bit weird. She sounds like one of those British people who's lived in America for too long.
My grandma sounds like that but a bit more English, I think from living with my grandpa who didn’t care to try to change it, and was very stubborn, and worked with English people in his job.
Yeah, I thought so too. Her RP 'Queen's English' seemed really mild.
Oof. My cousin apparently sounds American when she speaks English. She hasn't left Europe as far as I'm aware of.
I sound like that because I'm British but have a shit load of American mates who I speak to daily on Discord
Yes, u nailed it
I met someone who spoke in heightened RP as his natural accent. It was amazing honestly.
@ʜɪ ʜɪ Received Pronunciation- the well-spread accent that you can find across England (and to some extent beyond) in middle and upper class society.
Was it Jacob Rees-Mogg?
I can just imagine. Rom instead of room and I bid you good day sir!!!!!!, when miffed.
I had a lecturer who spoke heightened RP and his lectures were undoubtedly the highlight of my schedule. A particular joy was a 20 minute tangent about the history of gin, which was truly magnificent.
This is my accent, I learn English as my second language
after 10 years of videos in English subtitled in English and Italian I can say I understand what an Englishman says. It's incredible how many different types of accents I can pick up and for some people (especially educated ones) I can understand around 99% of the words and for others the percentage of words I understand drops to 90-95%. For some others the percentage drops dramatically 🥰 from italy
wow, your impressions of all these different accents are amazing!
"Southern Ireland"
IRA: TRIGGERED
Lol
All of ireland.. Triggered 😂
@@djfhfh not the North they be fine with her saying that lol
COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS
Anything Uk related has a chance of triggering the IRA
"southern Ireland"
*stares in IRA*
maybe she meant to say the "free state"..... oooohh, messing tepid tobo. (change the shilling, but ya ca'nt change the pound).
The dub accent wasn’t even accurate
What???
**Come Out Ye Black and Tans intensifies**
There are multiple accents in Dublin. She was close to one of the more posh ones.
SIOBHAN THOMPSON JUMPSCARE
Siobhan Thompson! I did not expect that my actual play content and accent tour content could overlap but I’m thrilled that it has!
where was the roadman accent
shut up wasteman i jus mad ur girl a sket
tooth paste innit wagwan
stfu ya bunch eh fucken neds
I think we're just standard English with a lot of slang terms.
Do u even know what a roadmap is?
The poor Isle of Man forever being forgotten about
How do you think the roadman, hipster and inner/outer capital feels? We don't sound like a cockney...

wat bout sussex accents :((
That was amazing and so much fun! You are fantastic, well done
I wonder if shes ever played D&D
My mate from northern Ireland, says he has irritable vowel syndrome 😂
Oh, that sounds painful.
Dunno about da noarth, but ya kno', I've herd tha' the Sco'ish ten' t' omi' a lo' a le'ers :D

ha ha Soo funny
Shit, that's good. You had 100 likes. Now you have 101, thanks to me :D
Siobhan is a freaking treasure. This was a lot of fun to watch.
Drop the vulgar language idiot! Now I'm reporting you.
One of the most charming people I've seen on this platform. A delight.(Robert Easton, the late, great American dialect coach/actor would absolutely adore you! He used to do the seven accents of Texas and it was hysterical.)
Paz y luz, everyone... from Alabama to NY and LA.
I come back and watch this every year or so. Brilliant!
It amazes me how people seem to think this was serious - it's just a laugh, a bit of fun, lighten up! Dare say they were all inaccurate in some way but who cares, this is just funny :D
It was real funny.
Very impressive, particularly that you can switch so effortlessly from one accent to another. That is a talent in itself.
her accents are shite
@@bagel9542 I'm sure they are better than yours though
@@jagodak.6867 Pizza Hut makes shite pizzas. I don't need to be able to make fantastic pizzas to understand that.
@@Farzlepot what does it have to do with anything? Are you comparing accents to pizza? Lol
@@bagel9542 Proper shite
I love this; laughed out loud a couple of times! Really well done.
I had no idea there were this many British accents, for such a small country that’s awesome!
Yea and everywhere u go there's a new accen just wai'in for you
Yes I am British Lancashire a little town between Manchester and Liverpool but me I don't have a full accent I have slight an accent from my home town
Can't judge whether these were done correctly, but it was entertaining :)
She was sure lovely to listen to as well as watch
they did
They were all very good. Some picky people might complain and feel left out but in general she nailed them all.
LittleLulubee some weren't bad, most were okay a couple were terrible (Scouse and Yorkshire...) but they were all entertaining.
For a good Yorkshire accent I go to Dalziel and Pascoe. Wonderful Yorkshire voices in that! :D
Her liveliness, body language, facial expressions, and head movements are astonishing.
I wonder which region is the actor Russell Brand's accent from? To a non Britt it sounds pretty thick and cocky... hmmm... perhaps from sexy Essex.... (I know silly me) ;P
Bill A Ever heard of Wikipedia? 🤔
Nope omg what is that?? I've been living under a rather large rock ya know... lol
By the way, the reason I was asking just because he was born in Essex, it doesn't mean he's got the same accent.
Bill A Heard of google? Well type wikipedia into it. Boom 💥
Brilliant, why didn't I think of it duhh lol
I’ve learned so much about accents since I started DMing.
Love learning about these differences through such a small nation.
Thanks so much Siobhan, I've been trying to place all the accents from different British shows and audio books I've listening to. Came here from the Website "origins of the British accents". I'm off to find out where all the Australian accents originated.
Yeah, the UK's plethora of accents is pretty crazy, given its small size. I live in Liverpool, for example, and all you need to do is go around 15 miles down the motorway and you have Warrington, whose accent is entirely distinguishable and different from the Liverpool accent. Another 20 miles and you have Manchester, whose accent again is entirely different. Brilliant.
We share a name
Chester as well is slightly different hints of Welsh & Scouse in there!
From Chester myself and there are some very strange accents around here..
hey
Ewan Marshall Lol, hey fam
Wow love the fact I’m from Lancashire and just got called the “downstairs people in downton abby”
Wow thank you! I don’t where this gem channel was hidden.
I miss UK and everything British.
Many thanks.!
Trawling for helpful videos to improve my accents game for DM-ing and I bump into D20s own Siobhan Thomson: what a joy!
Yorkshire here, didn't drop the h in hill, disappointed.
I know lad. I tell thee I'm upset. Tha nors I really am.

I have a friend who lives in Ravenfield and he doesn't drop the h. So my question is, does everyone really drop the h?
Ickley moor bah tat !
Was on exchange in York, they do cut the h out.
As a Welshman I really appreciate your "Diolch yn Fawr" effort,...Ymdrech arbennig cariad!! ...However as I've been living in Ireland for over 20 years, I can assure you that the accents from Dublin, Cork and Donegal are all from a different part of the universe, never mind the same country...
My grandparents immigrated from Fishguard
@@randalclarke5487 Having watched this again I've realised that she is actually a proper Welsh girl who happens to be good at accents beyond Wales,...Da iawn!!!...on the subject of Fishguard, it is a lovely little Welsh town to pass because a ferry to Ireland embarks from there...however, it is very remote without the ferry port and you can take that in two specific ways. 1: You enjoy the remoteness,...or 2: It's too remote for you.......EDIT: Hold on a moment, Siobhan is an Irish girl right???....you fooled me you Irish babe but hey ho I love you anyway...
@@garrigproductions lol right... my grandfather was Clarke and grandmother was Wallace, so I'm a British Isles/Celtic hybrid...Anglo-Celtic I say 😁
@@randalclarke5487 On the subject of hybrids, although I was born in Wales and speak fluent Welsh as my parents and grandparents did before me, I discovered around 15 years ago that I am the grandson (33-times-removed) of King William The Conqueror. So as a hybrid, you may perhaps refer to me as a Celtic/Norman hybrid...?
Every Irish accent>>>>>>>>whatever the hell they're saying in Kerry
SIOBHAN??? Not at all what I expected
Who cares whether her accents are accurate, she's good fun to watch, and she seem to be enjoying it! I wish my teachers were like her. I might have actually enjoyed going to school!
As a scouser i can confirm that that was all wrong. As the sentence goes on, the pitch increases until it is inaudible.
I’m american but I knew it was wrong bc of the Beatles, mostly john Lennon and George Harrison have the thicker accents (they were told by their pr team to tone their accent down in america to be understood better)
I knew it because of jamie carragher.

Not every Londoner has a cockney accent, we are not all from East London, thank god!
You’re probably from south then even worse
@@mr16325 have been since the 1590s
East end accent today is now middle Eastern with a compleate makeover of culture ..
Big cities can be crazy like that, NYC used to have a bunch of different accents for example. I knew someone who was a teacher there briefly in the 50s or 60s and she even had a couple students that were born and raised there that barely spoke English since they were raised in Little Italy and plenty of people had different accents based on neighborhood. Brooklyn accent, Bronx accent, Queens accent, and tons of foreign accents. Despite that alot of people think the NYC accent is all Brooklyn, and London gets a similar treatment.
You'd be lucky to find a cockney accent in the East End nowadays.
Those Scottish accents probably sounded good to anyone who isn't Scottish.
In Canada, a vast land everyone speaks in the same accent, called American. In the UK, a small land, every village has its own accent.
I was just thinking this
@@seanleith5312 you need to travel newfoundland or any of the maritime provinces, accents vary and the dialect changes as well.
Since when was burns from the Highlands?
@@seanleith5312 My guess on why there are so many accents is back in the day there were lots of languages you see, and the way those languages used syllables probably impact the accents of today
Like welsh accent sounds like the language in the way of pronunciation
I don't know much about the language history of the uk but Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall spoke celtic languages and because that they sound in the words of my Welsh Mother. "Like uneducated cabbage farmers."
North East England was taken over by the vikings, perhaps some old Norse got in the accents? villages did get a bit of old Norse in village names like Grimsby which means "Grim's Village" Grim was the guy who founded it so I guess he's a creative chap
Enjoy this rant about history, cabbage farmers and a Norwegian fisherman.
Holy crap it's Siobhan! She's awesome!
I know that regional accents do have variations within individuals and even a few miles of each other, but it's really cool as an American to have a very broad reference for so many of the beautiful accents found in our friends across the pond.
I had this recommended to me suddenly, and I could not be more delighted 😂❤

The biggest thing that people get wrong when trying to speak in a Yorkshire accent is that you'll find very few people actually say " t' " anything. The t' that most imitators put in is really exaggerated as you find the overwhelming majority or locals will actually speak with a glottal stop instead. As a result of the perceived exaggeration it ends up making people's imitations sound more like a piss take than an attempt at mimicry. Only a minor thing, but it would really make you sound a lot more convincing.
Yorkshire is a big place with a larger population that the entirety of Scotland and everyone of those people I have ever met are all "going t' shop, overt' road."
I have never met someone from Yorkshire who doesn't sat 't'
Rory Oliver & Mimi W I did say very few, I didn't say none. Whilst the people from Yorkshire you've met may pronounce it that way, I can guarantee you the vast majority will not, and I can say with a very high level of confidence that having lived in Yorkshire all my life, that I'll have a larger sample size to base my statement on.
I am from west yorkshire so... we're all poor and we can't be arsed pronouncing a whole word haha
Rory Oliver Daley You're kind of both right. In a Yorkshire accent t' as she pronounced it means 'to the'. "going to the shop" would be "going t' shop". Many people trying to immitate the accent incorrectly think that it means 'the' without the 'to'.
In this video however, she actually goes the other way: using t' in sentences which dont include the word 'the'. She is actually saying "So across the Pennines to the Yorkshire" and "One does not simply walk in to the Mordor" which is why it sounds jarring. Here there should be no glottal stop. The t should sound like first syllable of tomato. She gets it pretty much right when she says "I'm going to the pub up the hill" though.
So funny! “… but she got fired because no one could understand her.” “All I want to do is dance ‘bally’ but me dad makes me box.” The accents are very good and all however, it’s the commentary and delivery that got me howling with laughter. Thanks for that!
The NI one was a bit Derry for anyone thinking it was Belfast, except from the “sounds well cool”, that’s a bit more Belfast 😂. And Liam Neeson is from Ballymena. Accents in NI change every town like everywhere else but you’d be here all day, so amazing!
Oh, come on people. You're only saying she "butchered" your accents because she overemphasized the stereotypical articulations and y'all just don't wanna admit it.
No, she definitely didn't do the 'Scottish Highlands' one much justice and the Glaswegian accent was abysmal.
So you are American?
Huh? Americans are the only ones who don't know the difference? Is the woman actually doing the accents American?
No, she's just doing a lot of them wrong.
She nailed East Anglia, didnt even think we'd get included because were so often overlooked for accents since its a pretty dead one these days.
"one does not simply walk into Mordor" in a Yorkshire accent
never knew I needed that 😂
Made my day. Had to stop to laugh.
Tickled me...
This is lovely. Thank you!
Though I have to say that Liam Neeson line is gonna be stuck in my head for some time.
"One does not simply in't Mordor."
As someone with Yorkshire roots, that made me chortle. Brilliant!
👍👍
"One does not simply walk in' t' Mordor!" Priceless!
2021 and I'm still here - again. Just because it makes me smile.
She's adorable
From southeastern U.S., she’s charming, spritely and cute as a button. I wonder if she’s considered cheeky? 🤷🏻♂️
Not sure the name of the accent, but in Braveheart there’s a line I love. William goes to pick up Murron (🤤) in the rain. Her father’s answer is “not the now”. With the accent, it’s so awesome. OH! And though I doubt Brits even hear it, the substitution of “me” for “my” is simply divine!
I know we in the States are annoying as we gush over your accents, but suppressing a compliment IN PERSON is almost asking too much. I try to hold out, knowing we do it so much. You have no idea.
🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴👍🏻😘
Must say that I can imagine a long car ride with her going very well or very poor. I’m thinking we’d wind up having an awesome time …or ready to kill each other.
Siobhan is an absolute treasure of a human being and must be protected at all costs.
WoW I particularly love the RP accent because it is very straight-forward and quite easy to understand, whereas the Scottish accents can be near impossible seen as they talk too fast! Ireland is a stunner and I am a big fan of the accent in Dublin, the north of Ireland!! Thank You kindly for making my day! 🎉
RP is easy to understand because you hear it so much on TV, but American accents are usually easier to understand as it is more straightforward. Some exceptions in the South.
The TRAP/BATH or TRAP/BARRRFF being an example where RP isn't objectively straightforward.
she's kind of crazy and I kind of love that about her!
but seriously I love this girl! She's hilarious!
The Glaswegian accent was less shocking than I expected it to be, but the way you pronounced ‘glasgow’ sends a chill down my spine
niamh B glaesga
We diddny talk like that tho
Pocahontas McGlinchey precisely
Ye i just went tae Glasgow
I was literally thinking the same thing😂😂😂 to be fair though Glasgow is quite a hard accent to do unless u go full scale ned or something haha
Hahaha that West Midlands accent was a wild effort. And the London one wasn't great, which is surprising as it's pretty easy to do. But I'm being picky - honestly I am very impressed with your accents. I can never do the geordie one, I wish I could!
You got the flair for accents. Awesome. I appreciate the vibration of your accent. Pronunciation is an art
th-cam.com/video/nIvVXfL9tZo/w-d-xo.html what kind of accent is this?
Hey , your accent was spot-on..but you forgotten the Essex accent.
Stevo K Atkinson thankfully ;)
I resent the fact that I have grown up and still live in Essex. I just,,, it's just so bad. It's just.... I can't even put it into words. It physically upsets me. Every day is a constant struggle to keep the letter T in my vocabulary and not sound like I'm straight off towie, which also needs to die. It's just,, the worst place in England. Luckily I grew up mostly in Hornchurch and Upminster and the area was quite relaxed so I haven't picked up a full Essex accent, but now as I've moved closer to Romford and Brentwood I'm ,, I'm really struggling. Please send help
Riley Costello are you joking me, I love the Essex accent. I honestly have the worst British accent ever I'm a BLACK British girl and I have the Heightened RP. I don't even know how that happened because I grew up in Kennington south London
You're so terribly, terribly enticing...
Cockney?
Got to give it to you you nailed the welsh accents

There are loads of different accents within South Wales, eg Newport, Cardiff, Swansea, Rhondda, Eastern Valleys..
My ancestors were from Shropshire, Kent, Nottinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Staffordshire so it’s cool to hear their accent
i watched this video so many times as a kid to learn how to speak in different UK accents and now i’m realizing that this is presented by THE Siobhan Thompson
