It's not just the American accent pronunciation that's amazing, it's the way she lowers her voice and adds the subtle vocal fry effect that makes it absolutely flawless.
She was showing how it is acting, a facade. Typical of Americans actually, they always seem like they are performing for an invisible audience. Like teenagers, actually.
@@Studentofgossetno, Americans are simply a bit more extroverted as a culture. To you it may seem like performing, but really it's just that there's a certain openness in general American interactions. They tend to have a lot of energy and passion, and that is reflected in their movement and expression at any age.
Most British actors can do a decent American accent, but there’s always something tiny or underlying that isn’t quite native or natural in American English speakers. Her intonation and accent, though, are completely flawless and effortless. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else do two accents perfectly.
How can you say Native? I don't think American English is Native. Nothing is natural is the cess pit of America. African Americans are not African neither are the Irish. You are American nothing else.@@zoltanszaszi2264

She’s damn right about peer pressure. It forced me to change accents (German ones and Swiss) every two years - it was horrible back then. Now it is fun because for about five different regions I can pretend to be native.
My best friend was born in the UK and moved to LA when she was 8 -- I didn't meat her until she was 24. I didn't know she was English until her grandmother called her and she switched without skipping a beat into her native accent and it freaked me out.
@@shanet5604 No I didn't. I met her through a friend and since she was in the US since age 8 she had a perfect SoCal accent. I knew her dad was British but assumed she was born in the US. It was only when her gran called she switched back.
okay put it like this. you grow up watching american movies, tv shows etc. pulling off an american accent seems amazing to americans but not so much to other countries
Actually a lot of actors suck at American accents and you can tell they're not from this country. On top of that, Chris Pratt did an accent on the Graham Norton Show that he got from watching TOWIE and the British audience was amazed.
EGarrett01 so one american pulled off a British accent? Check out keanu Reeves attempt in Dracula 🤣 The British can do american accents better than americans can do British accents
To be fair, the american accent is a fusion of many different accents from immigrants all over the world, making it very generic and probably the easiest to learn.
yeah i dont get whats so great about doing an american accent. i learned from watching shows as a kid. my friend from new york tells me i "sound like a white girl"
What do you mean, "Its all over our TV's"? Are you saying American television shows are frequently broadcast in England? If yes, please state which shows,..if you don't mind.
she has a perfect los angeles accent. it's crazy. where she holds her voice in her throat changes when she switches accents, it's lower in the throat. the shape of her smile changes and effects her accent in a way that's 100% native los angeles.
When I travel, it doesn't take long for me to subconsciously slip into the accent and speech patterns of the company I'm with. In 1998 I was on a scuba dive cruise in Australia with fellow dive tourists from around the globe. All day long I'd been conversing with people from different countries, all speaking English with their own native accents, and I'd found myself just naturally falling into their speech patterns. That evening, after the day's diving was done, we were all gathered together on deck enjoying memories of our day under the night sky, and I found myself surrounded by everyone all at once. With nowhere to hide, my only choice was to revert to my own Canadian accent. I got a lot of weird looks that night.
When you‘re german and recognize the change after the fourth time watching the video. Now the joke is dead. I don‘t care, I‘m german, I‘ve no humor anyways...
I remember back in 2002, when I was in Los Angeles for the first time, staying at Hollywood Hostel (awesome place btw). I'm from Sweden, and I was travelling alone, so I just kind of hung out and talked to whoever was around. On day five a guy from Norway and a guy from Denmark showed up, and we wound up sitting out on the patio playing guitar and talking (Danes, Norwegians and Swedes can sort of understand each other, at least enough to make light conversation). One of the guys on the staff, who I had been hanging out with quite a bit, came out and was just staring at me. I went "What...?" And he went "Where the fuck are you from??" "I'm from Sweden." "I seriously thought you were from southern California!" I always knew my english was good, but now I also know where to believably fake where I'm from - if needs be. :-)
Hound19745 Strange question to that anecdote.... No, I didn't. But then again getting laid wasn't really a priority for me with that trip. I had basically emptied my savings to spend two weeks seeing LA and San Francisco. My time and money were spent on Universal Studios, Six Flags, Alcatraz, movie theatres, souvenirs and food (prioritized in that order). Had someone offered I wouldn't have turned them down, but I was too busy with more important things to spend any time trying to get laid. I did go to Universal a second time, with a danish girl staying at the hostel, and we had a great time going on the rides, seeing the shows etc.
Geovanny Tejada Oh I did, and do. I've been back to LA once more (in 2006), and as soon as I feel comfortable returning to the US (as things are right now, I really don't), I have Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas as my top west coast priorities. I wanna show the missus all these awesome places!
Mikael Karlsson understandable things in our country are a bit “unusual” at the moment, but things will get back to normal soon I hope. We are a young country with many faults. And still are learning some hard lessons. Don’t lose faith in America 🇺🇸 🤙🏽 had a blast in Europe a few months back, hope to see you and you’re country men and women back here one day.
I was told by a Swedish businessman that when doing business in Norway (and the reverse also true), nobody speaks Swedish or Norweigian...they speak English.
I think its because we suck so bad at faking a british accent that we are in such shock when we hear someone doing our accents, Im saying this as a canadian who went to a british highschool
I'm like this when I talk my native language Norwegian. I am from the west cost, but grew up in the east, and kids would make fun of me for having another accent, so I learned how to do the other accent. And now I can switch back and forth easily, and it's very funny to shock people who don't know me well heheh
***** Really? 0:27 is where she does the american accent. Your ears probably aren't used to hearing the differences in accents. Might help if you watch the full interview though to see how different her real accent is from American.
British accent pronounce the "a" likes "awe," the "r" is softer, and you always pronounce the "t" really hard. So the opposite of that is the general American accent. Its like the word better. In American accent it sounds more "beder" the British accent sounds almost like "bettawe"
American makes her seem more relatable and down to earth, a more calming tone. The British one seems more pretentious and be judgemental, at least to me
Actually the movie accent is adopted from Midwest accent from 1960 it changed over time but holly wood wanted a " familiar home feel" so they adopted a Midwest accent for film
Switching languages and getting the accent perfect is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more impressive. Some people can do that so flawlessly that it's actually weird.
I almost always know when an actor is British/Australian in real life while watching a movie. I end up looking it up during the movie to see if I'm right and I usually am. They over pronounce things and sound like they have something in their mouths it's very noticeable.
If she came to LA as a child she probably speaks with the American accent but because of her family background, she can easily switch to Britsh accent, not the other way round.
When I moved to the US in 1984 at the age of 14 the same thing happened to me. Rather than being a novelty act and saying this and saying that, I adopted an American accent. Sadly I never could get rid of it and sound too American when I go back home to visit.
Besides her and a few others, when it comes down to people trying a general American accent they tend to be somewhat too precise in that the way they speak and the words they use are almost too choppy in conversation where as the way some Americans speak is very relaxed and we incorporate alot of shorterned words and slang and the convo flows easier.
I swear, for the longest time my brother believed that Gillian Anderson was British because her British accent is so spot on. Mind you, we're not British ourselves (we're French) so we don't hear it every day and are probably much easier to fool then an actual Brit would be.
i’m a british-canadian, and I moved to canada when I was six. I learned to do the accent straight away, and i can switch instantly. it’s really not that hard.

It's not just the American accent pronunciation that's amazing, it's the way she lowers her voice and adds the subtle vocal fry effect that makes it absolutely flawless.
The vocal fry is the key component of a California accent
vocal fry is what makes it lower
“Would you like that venti-mmm?”
Can I have ketchup with her vocal fries?
The valley girl rumble, incredible
She also smiled more and her mannerisms slightly changed. There is more than just an accent.
Peer pressure as a child will do that to you …🤨😌
Correct. It's a persona. Makes sense, she's an actress. Creepy as hell though.
Well accents do carry different vibes so it's necessary

British actors can often pull off a pretty decent American accent, but her's isn't just decent, it's absolutely perfect.
youdoitillwatch this is a Californian accent not an American accent.
There are different dialects.
I think tom holland does a pretty good job tbh
Joey Ojeda unless California somehow separated from the US it's still an American accent
Joey Ojeda Huh? What is that supposed to mean? California is part of the US!
LOL the cut-off "WWWOOAAAA--" from the crowd makes it extra special. 😂
Bait Master like the wii sports wow
Knowing how to spell "whoa" is the most special.

I’m laughing my ass out abt something silly 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”woah”
I cant stop laughing at this hahah
Just look at Gary Oldman, he can be American, Russian, British, etc
Jonathan Morales
Yep and in fact he did other accents so well he had to get an accent coach to get back his original accent!
Jonathan Morales yeah well Gary Oldman is a freakin sorcerer. The man’s talents border on the occult he’s one of the best actors alive.
true romance
Jonathan Morales he is British?
jed harper - I fucking love Gary Oldman in that movie.

Canadian James Doohan from Star Trek would change accents going from room to room.
"Engineer? Hey, he'd better be Scottish."
hey, she's been doing it since she was a child, so yep she's good at it.
It’s scary how she can change that easily. It’s like a different person.
It's always weird to me that people find bidialectalism phony or scary but being bilingual is perfectly ordinary.
American language simple to pick up hang around teenagers it’s impression I get from watching actors actresses from other country try talk American
American accents are easy to pull off with how much exposure there is to American media. That’s why it’s harder for American actors to use a British accent.
The trick to the L.A. accent seems to be saying, "like" a lot.
It's honestly the trick to any American accent
@@blue3374 not rlly
you can say like in any accent, think about your life choices

Don't know about best but she is certainly the most beautiful
Wow she pulled that off so smooth that I didn't notice her change accents woooosh that was smooth asf 👌🏽
Hottest accent change ever.
I really wanted to hear an Eric Andre 'YEEEEEAAAS' at the end there
She sounds like Drew Barrymore
Sara dakhil but is a lot hotter
wow, so self conscious, don't fall to peer pressure like that, stand out, America is about being free!
She's magnificent.
So Cal accent is the easiest to do though. Don’t skip any sound, in fact prolong and highlight every sound
Balls. Anyone who is brought up with American TV programmes can do that.
This is called bidialectal. Gillian Anderson is a well-known example of being this.
They’re actors. They should be able to do this. Goodness me, how we worship those who entertain….
She is GORGEOUS
Alice is so breathtakingly beautiful too.
Alice had a 2009 crime drama named Crossing Over. Fans of Alice should definitely look that one up.
Hugh laurie is my favorite brit doing a american accent.
Anyone else got this recommended 10 years later?.

What about *Hugh Laurie* of House M.D.?
Hugh only does it for roles. True bidialectal people use it in everyday life.
Damian Lewis of Band of Brothers, Homeland and now Billions. It seems he is always doing an American accent in his roles now.
