@@big_sea have you seen emobur video title is: *Wilbur becomes emo (emobur)* 💀💀 by: *streamers Stan account* he sounds very aussie then but be warned it’s *CURSED VERY CURSED*
it’s easy for most British people to sing in an American accent, as lots of songs in the media are sung with an american accent, so it doesn’t sound right for us to sing all those songs in our accent, therefore we get used to just singing in an american one.
I’m seeing lots of people say American!bur is scary, but I genuinely think it’s fucking amazing! As an American who wishes they were able to change to different accents, this blows my mind pfff
I think it's actually a bit easier to do American and British accents when singing, at least based on how I was taught, anyway. I was taught to sort of lessen the "intensity" of my r's when singing, because it generally sounds better. In other words, it's sort of like doing a British accent (some parts of it, anyway). To sound completely American when singing, you pretty much just ignore that rule and you're done.
As a Pole and a Polish native speaker, where Polish basically doesn't have accents nowadays, it blows my mind that English has so many freaking accents and how people can just nail someone's home town or state or whatever based on how they pronounce certain words or sounds. Meanwhile, while I consider my English listening skills to be decent, at least for someone who's never lived in an English speaking country, I'm like "I can't even tell whether this person is American or British, let alone Australian, unless I focus specifically on their speech patterns)". Kinda envy y'all, lmao.
@@NovacootSnapshots the way he sings is kinda similar to the way tom delonge sang while in box car racer (especially at the beginning), maybe thats why it reminds you of blink-182 :)
I was spamming Dadza to help me and my small bro was covering his ears and scream dadza to help in his room irl. Bruh then my irl DAD just Rush into my bro room.
Yeah...it reminds me of My brother in law. When he speaks Spanish, his voice gets...thicker? Lower? He switches back to (General American) English and his tone sounds thinner... Does speaking with an American accent just calls for our voices to become thinner and brighter? Does Amer
I think it’s…at least for americans, the media portrayal of british is often older and more fancy types and there is a subconscious association between the accent and….well….older people. So in essence, media portrayal has created a subconscious link in many American minds that makes us perceive British accents as sounding “old”.
He doesnt sound bad in american accent. But it's normal to hear him in brittish so it scares me when he just started singing american live. Also I just love the chat that went from "WOOOO! CATJAM! POP OFF KING" to "NOOOOOOOOOOOO"
That’s honestly so true, accents really do change your voice. I’m learning Swedish and I swear to god my voice goes down a whole octave when I speak it lol.
it's honestly freaky/amazing how he almost seems to melt into a different person while he's singing like this, but then he looks at chat, and he smiles and he laughs, and the wilbur we know and love returns in an instant
it’s good but it’s so terrifying at the same time i heard most of it on stream but then my earbuds died :( might rewatch the rest of it later though because i’ve had a really rough day and wilbur always cheers me up. i’ll probably listen to ycgma though that’s my literal comfort album
His voice is so much higher- Will my voice get lower if I speak in a British accent? No it doesn’t I need to go very high to get even close to a British accent
Sometimes people just have to change their whole voice to get the accent they need! If you don't know how to make an accent flow through your regular voice naturally then your voice in general might change. As far as English accents go, I shove the way I say things closer to the front of my mouth, drop half my r's, and call it a day. Also, Wilbur's voice can go low but his voice is still relatively high, and that can sound pretty different depending on accent. When I imagine Wilbur with an American accent he ends up with a higher voice. This is all just observational
Wills voice is actually quite high for a British person naturally. And most people when doing an American accent go high pitched and a bit nerdy sounding or lower and Western cowboy/southern. Imo the words you use can help for the accent. So practice a very cockney sentence, like: ELLO ELLO, YA-ALRIYYGHT MAYTE? (usually answered with YEAH YOU?, It's more of a rhetorical question, if you started to actually talk about how you've been then they would probably be weirded out) don't fully stop pronouncing the T's but very softly almost unoticabally. With the word mate it's more of a mayyyyyte than a maaaate. If you move further towards Essex which is a chavy and fairly rough area (where I'm from) you will here the more drawn out A's. Also Z is pronounced ZED and not ZEE. Here's a conversation I had with my friend yesterday. Him: Y'ALRIYGHT MAYT ME: YE IM DECENt, YOU? HIM: YE, I THOUGHT YOUS WAS COMIN ON THE OLD CALL OF DUTY LAST NIGHT ME: NARR MAYT, I WAS PLAYING GTA HIM: YEA I WOS TRYIN TO INVIYYTE YAS BUT IT WERNT LETING ME. ME: YE, NO I WERNT GETING NO INVS LAD. that's all I remember. I typed it more how it sounds. Another thing is try and do a bit of Australian accent just barely. For some reason aswell I find it easier if I start with my mouth open. Also remember that getting drunk at 14,15,16,17 is perfectly fine with most people and football is a massive part of our lives. Look up some chant we sing there's a very good video that could help you learn the accents, it's got about 1.5 million views I think. Basically football in Europe and Asia is the only sport apart from cricket in Asia. Last thing. I believe that the UK is Northern Ireland, Wales Scotland England. Britain is Wales Scotland England. England is the biggest part from the bottom to just over halfway to the top. That's were Scotland begins, there is also a small cuttoff which is Wales. Banter is also a huge thing we joke about quite deep things and insult eachother alot. We also swear much more. Cunt, twat, piss, fucker, slapper, bastard, tits. These are common you are unlikely to hear someone say bitch btw just a side note. Enjoy, overall understand the culture, listen to the music, watch the films and series, know about the sports and the wars. We call the Welsh sheep shaggers sometimes, we quite like the Scots and it's a mixed bag with the Irish.
He started singing in an American accent and I suddenly immediately recognized the artist (The Front Bottoms) despite not being familiar with the song itself... that's some GENUINE talent from Wilbur. I mean, I already knew he was talented of course, but man. Next level I think.
The front bottoms have that really distinct sound 😭😭 my sister and I will both mimic their voices every now and then too because its just really memorable
i actually like his american accent when singing it has like a strain on it and its the type of voice I normally listen to this is why he's my favourite the variety bahaha
This moment was seriously comforting to me, and it has calmed me down from many anxiety attacks. So thank you for making this video to capture this moment
I was not expecting to be as alarmed as I was to hear him use a pretty decent American accent. I think it’s so good bc he knows the song well enough that he sings it the exact way it is on the recording - I know for me when I sing along to songs in a different accent I use that accent bc it’s kinda hard not to
Honestly, I enjoyed that. As a fellow musician, I love when people change their tone, expression, impact. (Not rapping, or any of the modern pop music).
@@nyxbutmusic Thank you for the explaining the difference! It's kinda hard for me to understand it even when anyone trying to do american accent while they are speaking. I think it's just because my native language isn't English
вижу своих fellow русских да, мне тоже сложно увидеть разницу если честно единственную разницу которую я вижу это то как он выговаривает некоторые слова и букву р
The American accent sounds kinda unnatural, as though he is suppressing his British accent. Also I think his pitch is off on a lot of the notes, probably because he is focusing on the accent rather than the notes. If he got better at those two things however, this would sound like a classic 2000 era US song and it would be pretty darn good.
I liked when chat was So scared to yell "PHILLL" to help
