    After the massive success of his "3 Minutes to a Proper British Accent" ( • 3 minutes to a proper ... ), University of Alberta drama professor David Ley is back for an encore with his tips to speaking with a Dublin dialect. (Northern Irish accents are different because .... well, we'll let Ley explain the difference.)

    He means a 'middle-class variety of a South-Dublin Irish accent'. He also sounds quite depressing - much more like a Northern Irish. He seems like he mush have mistaken (and keeps confusing) these accents.
    The Northern Irish accent is rather monotone - hence why I used the word "depressing" earlier - while slightly declining in tone.
    The (republican) Irish accent is very joyful and is like a stereotypical Irish accent: with a lot of variation in pitch and tone throughout the sentence.

    It's a decent enough Irish accent but not 100% convincing to me (an Irish person). It's not exactly South Dublin - more like a mixture between North Dublin and Louth.

  • @ragdoll2309

    I have always wondered where this accent comes from. I come from Ireland (born and bred) and I've never heard anything like it anywhere in Ireland. Having said that, there's a ridiculous amount of accents in Ireland. This American movie accent though I don't think is anywhere except in the movies.
    I was talking to Colm Meaney recently and I asked him that exact question. Where did this american version of the Irish accent come from? He essentially said that it may have come from a director meeting one person with that terrible accent and then americanising it.
    Either way, I was glad that it's disappearing in movies... although not completely.

      Agree, Irish born and bred here (so not one of those Americans who calls themselves Irish but isn't really). There's an English voice coach here on TH-cam who has done a really video on how to work on getting an Irish accent and how you should go about it by listening to people from the part of Ireland where the accent comes from. Also it's a slow process, it's not going to come over night. Understanding and respecting current Irish culture (the culture in Ireland not some plastic paddy version of Irish culture) is also important.

    A classic middle class Dublin accent would be Blackrock, Rathgar or Ranelagh and the more neutral D4 accent. To my (irish) ear your version sounds way too countrified and overemphasises the R sound and is more like a light generic Hollywood attempt. For the real deal, listen to Ryan Tubridy and Domhnall Gleeson here during an interview on the Late Late Show th-cam.com/video/1uSj8vsMXA8/w-d-xo.html

    Nope, he's doing an American "Orish" accent, which is not the way we speak. Also, that's nowhere near a Dublin accent. What he's also doing is a Northern Ireland (Norn Iron), accent and he just about hits it. I'm Irish and live in Ireland. Try again.
