I just want to learn the scottish accent so when I'm insulting it sounds more pissed off.
Okay, I'll help ye oot: lesson one: there is no Scottish accent. There's West and East Highlands, Lowlands, Glaswegian, and Ulster freaks. They're no the same.
Get tae fuck. Thats one
i do that but with a german accent so that i sound even more pissed
HEY SWINE VAT DID YOU SAY TO ME
Bro, you sound like a twat when you try to do a Scottish accent and insult people, there isn’t even a singular Scottish accent there are many
wit the fuck are you daeyin
Plot twist: this guy is Scottish and all the other posh accent stuff is actually what he's putting on
sound like english this guy
Possibly englander
I'm Scottish
Guys its called a joke
It’s an RP accent
I came here so I can speak like Shrek since I'm playing him in my school musical
Adrian Ramsey same but I’m just trying to sound like Shrek because I love our ogre lord
Your going the right way for a smacked bottom
Brilliant
Glad your thinking so highly of Scotland
Same bro except I’m not playing him a school musical, I just wanna talk like shreck
I’m Scottish but somehow this guy can do a better Scottish accent than me 😂
😂
I love the Scottish accent especially Glasgow 😂
Your comment has a lot value. It shows that what we stereotypically think of regiional accents are usually stronger than what actual speakers speak.
Wow really
I'm from the Caribbean and for the 2nd time in the past hour people said I sound Scottish
50% of the video views are scottish folk trying to see if anyone really can do our accent
how can I learn the Scottish Accent? I love Scottish Accent,
Bünyamin Albayak Ahah, well it's very thick and we have our own words instead of english words
+Rachael Slaven im Scottish and I can easily do the accent I moved to England when I was 4 then I lost it but I can under stand everything in the Scottish language. im from Aberdeen
+Rachael Slaven I'm Serbian and I love Scottish accent, it's bloody awesome!
Yeah I'm Scottish soooooo
You Scottish people are lucky.
Everything you say sounds hot
Really?
Cameron Robertson Most definitely! 😉
Thanks!
Definitely.
Wish it worked that way on the Scottish birds
Characters that ppl want to imitate:
1. Scottish Pokemon Trainer
2. Demoman
3. Some girl in VrChat
Omg i love that trainer
What makes me a good demoman? An accent, apparently.
Soap Mactavish :)
I tried a Scottish accent in class.
I'm home schooled.
where's conductor
Also, and this is generalized, the first word in a Scottish sentence is emphasized, then the following words are spoken low, then the middle of the sentence is spoken medium, then the remaining words are spoken low. So, it's like 'High - low - low - low - Medium - low - low - low', know what I mean? Kind of hard to explain in text.
That's the inflection you're describing, like how in most dialects you tend to raise in pitch when asking a question
That makes sense to me; it's like the main part of what is being communicated, particularly in an emotional sense comes through with that word
Omg it does. I didn’t even notice I did that. (Ya this video is very generalised because there is different accents in Scotland within a 10 mile radius from each other.)
Yea we dae that
I read that in a Scottish accent, and without even forcing it, but instead slowly realizing as I continued reading, you're actually right. I guess you could say it sorta comes naturally.
I used to teach abroad and my students told me that they found it easier to learn English in my accent (Scottish) because it sounds more or less identical to how you write it. The letter 'r' is always an 'r' sound, the 't' is always a 't' sound, and the vowels are almost always consistent. I don't understand why people go out of their way to learn an English accent when Scottish is so much easier for non-native speakers in terms of the correlation between written and spoken words.
Yeah, the most phonetic english accent ever.
Easier for me.
As someone from Kenya I couldn't agree more. Scottish accent is very clear and understandable.
okay yeah thats probably a reason why people say i sound scottish sometimes! im finnish so i tend to pronounce some words close to how theyre written
Bro how do yall understand stand this dhit bro 💀
Aye
Who else finds themselves reading the comments in a scottish accent?
lol
you talked me into it
me because I am Scottish ^-^
that accent is adorable
me XD
when you come here because you need a new voice for your D&D characters... Can't be a squeaky british girl forever
That's awesome
Same here
Lmao same
Me
I’m in this comment and I don’t like it
I'm a native Portuguese speaker from Portugal, and I always loved the accent.
I've been studying it during my free time, and I must say it's been quite easy for me. The 'R' sound is so natural for me.
sou português também e sempre achei mais fácil! também ajuda que o meu pai é escocês ahaha
Mais um português para a conversa! (Se bem que sou rapariga)
Eu estou aqui porque em junho eu e a minha mãe vamos à Escócia e queremos ver quem consegue fazer o melhor sotaque.
Um fator a nosso favor (portugueses) é a grande diversidade fonética da nossa língua. Poucas línguas têm tantos sons e isso ajuda-nos muito quando tentamos aprender novas línguas e sotaques.
Let's goooo, outros tugas à procura do sotaque escocês
@@matichagak548comecei a dar risada depois que li "rapariga", esqueci que o pessoal de Portugal fala "rapariga" em vez de "mulher"

"I'm Scottish and we sound nothing like that!!!" Wow, it's almost like he said he was doing a generalized accent at the beginning of the video!
tigergirl305 since u r Scottish u don’t hear your accent cause ur used to it people from other places ask me about my accent but I don’t know I have one
@@piggyplayz6202
I don't have an accent but my parents do cuz they were raised in Africa and ppl say they have and accent but since I love with them I don't hear it
Except you do. People rarely analyze their own accent so when they hear someone else analyze it, they aren’t aware of how they sound.
It depends where your from tbh I’m from the highlands so our accents are like a mix of American and posh Englishman unless we’re angry then the accent comes out but down south it’s more of a stereotypical chewbacca learns how to sound Irish lol and forgets how to say the letter a
I’m going to receive so much hate... please don’t hurt me...
I came here so I could talk like a Dwarf
Same my dude
I actually came here for demoman
I came because I'm in love with Outlander series
lmaoooooooo 💀
Same
I’m Scottish and I do have to say this is actually the best tutorial I have seen he sounds like my dad
0:54 “it would be very rare to hear murrrrderrrr with big long R’s”
Conductor from a hat in time: Am I a joke to ye?
Easy lad
I WAS THINKING.*conductor is that you?*
"Hello evrrribodi, do I sound like merrrida, noh? "
I read this in merrida's voice xD
its naw duhhhh
+Phoenix MSP 😂😂
Aye ya lassy, ya do.
galihvevo ranggalih no I'm Scottish and that's only slang like no one says noh 😕
It's actually kinda freaky how spot-on his attempt at a Scots accent is.
Sure he sounds it but the words he speaks r completely wrong why does he say birds like that 😂 im scotish btw and 11 years old
Erin Heaney It is a wee bit off, but I had to go back and listen again to see what you meant.
Arichty fae Dundee btw :P
I'm from Arbroath! :)
Erin Heaney I dinnae ken
Ehh?^^
thanks for that! I always have bright smile when I hear a Scot speaker, for some reason it just warms my hear to hear.
Came here since I'm playing a Scottish gnome in D&D. This vid was a big help
He's rolling his R's too much lol
Вы уверены, что?
Yeah and it's not that we all necesarrily roll our 'r's but we just say them rather than being all English with an 'aaaaaahhh' we just say 'are'.
Also, we have the same first name :)
It's exaggerated but that's how you learn to speak in a different accent.
Who is thinking of James McAvoy?
me hahaha
+Leyla Polat I came here because of him :))) hahahaha
+Leyla Polat LOL HERE.HAVE YOU SEEN "FILTH"?
+Leyla Polat Same rules apply.
+Leyla Polar Ewan McGregor actually, but him too.
"meRRRda" sounded like the word wich means literally shit in Portuguese hahaha
I was looking for a video on how to speak scottish for a video project. How did I already watched the whole thing, liked it!?!?? what did I need this for
I go to school in Glasgow (I'm American). I find imitating a Scottish accent to be near impossible. My mates are always trying to get me to do it.
"murrrderrr" Ha! that was hilarious.
I live in Hong Kong and I was born in the southern general hospital. unlike you, I moved from scotland to Hong Kong when I was 2 years old so I lost the accent and I am desperately trying to get it back.
My arse. An American going to a school in glasgow? That’s amazing.
@@davidgraham370 its 8 years late, but im having an exact opposite situation now, from hong kong to scotland and got a Scottish accent now
@@Jamie-kv9egI’m doing the same but I’m Edinburgh lol
You're actually very good! I'm a Scot and the only thing I'd question is havenae. I'd say huvnae. Otherwise, I like the video and you've captured us well!
I'm Scottish and both sound right to me but used in different ways including husnae or it might just be regional... he husnae ( hasn't)done that...they huvnae (haven't)goat/got it. I havnae ( have not) been there before. All mean the same thing but but how the sentence is said is what word and what it saying obv determines which way it gets said. Love from Scotland xxxx
That is extremely helpful. I'll have to study this video. I've always wanted to be able to mimic both Scottish and Irish accents. Being able to tell the difference already puts me ahead of a lot of Americans, lol.
Knowing they're different countries puts you ahead of most Americans
I watched this to help nail the voice of a character I thought was Scottish in a book I’m reading to my kids, and the next paragraph explained he had a southern accent but spoke as if he was from Scotland. Thanks anyway!
The most beautiful gurel in the wureld
hahaah
+The 3rd Testicle can I gehh(get) some waaher( water)
+Mahesh Murali Dang that really helped, I got the 'arenae' 'havnae' stuff down, didn't know the 't' was swapped with an 'h' in some cases!
It's pronounced 'lass'.

Woughteh
Best comment 😂😂😂
i loved this. coming here from the US because i absolutely love the Scottish accent. started watching Still Game and it's a challenge watching without English subs lol. i think you nailed this video mate, cheers!
super video , so concise and covers as much as you need to know to get started , well done.
I can’t roll my R’s though! ;-;
When I try that it just sounds like the Japanese version of R. ;-;
i felt that
I am at least a year late but I saw somewhere that if you say 'udder' multiple times quickly, you might get a rolled R at the end of the word.
Works with 'ladder' and 'butter' too (I think)
Otherwise, just try or train it until you get it right. That's what I did when I was little and then I finally got it right.
@@evehellod9776 It worked with 'ladder' for me, thanks for this advice :)
The tongue roll takes a lot of practice.
ama yeah i don't roll my r's and most people i know don't, except my grandparents but i can do it it's just not normal for me.
Ok so I'm Scottish this is the accent that movies portray I feel u would have to be in Scotland to understand how we actually speak?
Kay Gow exactly.
True
Kay Gow i
I know why did they get someone English.
aye ats right lad its hard if ya nae a scott tae speak scottish and trust me my american freinds have tried and failed every time :P
Great video Gareth, thanks for posting it
I just want to speak like James Mcavoy
You're really out here calling me out alright lets scrap
He's hot and a good actor
Not a bad choice
Same here lmao
“bird” in the scottish accent means “cold” in arabic
I noticed!
Trueeee
Baaareed
I only wanted to be able to say "Get in mah swamp" like my lord and savior, Shrek.
The Scottish accent is so adorable. Couple that with some good sarcasm, ginger hair and a kilt and you guys have serious game.
I can fall in love hearing this accent :)
(Thanks for pointing these out!
I just want to sound like the 12th Doctor.
Or 10
Or Amy Pond
DAVID TENNANT!!!!
+P.S. ILoveGaming I just want to sound like soap from mw3
+Spongebob Squarepants you've caught me...
I'm Scottish and when I try to do a British accent it comes out as Scottish so this was easy lol
You have gained the perks, *’intimidate’, ‘confuse’,and ‘mighty roar’*
My father's side is Scottish but I was raised in America and I thought it would be cool to learn the accent! Thanks!
I have a few mates that are from Scotland, and I just love hearing them talk, most times I just shut up and listen because I love the Scottish accent, it is awesome.
Where are you from?
Jesse Pinkman I live in Australia, I used to work with people who are Scottish. and they sound completely different to what this guy was doing.
I'm Scottish and find this offensive... Haha no. But I'm Scottish and can't even roll my r's help
***** You could just have a different accent. He did say generalized Scottish English but there are other Scottish accents. Or maybe you don't live near people who roll r's?
Its not difficult i actually try hard to not roll my rs 😂
Where abouts are you in Scotland? I'm fae Irvine!!! I've just noticed I do depending on the word where the r is lol
Dundee.
Im hispanic and I can only roll my rs once.
Here because of Outlander, and because I want to give my LARP character a scottish accent (thanks to the group I'm in)
Currently doing as much research as I can so I won't sound stupid
Oh boy...so I'm from Texas and will be in Glasgow for a wee bit this autumn. I wonder if I'll pick up the language lol.
thank you!! i love voice acting but i've always had the most trouble with scottish. this helps a lot!
I'm researching the Scottish accent for voicing a certain character of mine, thank you so much for this video!
actually really helpful thanks
An English friend of mine laughed at the fact that "Train Spotting" had subtitles here in America.
It would be interesting to put a bunch of people with different accents and regional variants into a room and listen to them converse and interact with each other and compare how they sound. Imagine a Texan talking with an Australian or A Boston person talking with and Irish person. I wonder if a bunch of English speaking people of varying accents and dialects were lost and stranded on an island how the culture of their descendants would sound. Would they have a mix of Texan/Long Island/Liverpudlian/Glasgow/New Zealand/Dublin/Rhode Island/Perth/North Carolina accent? Which accent would be dominant or would they form some new type of accent?
The best "accent video" I've ever seen! Well done Gareth! Your video about Irish accent was tremendous, but this one is absolute class, top of the tops.
At 1:44 you say "no deference" without meaning to do Scottish accent, but you are doing perfect one accidentally :D Well I think it is accidental :D
aweeesome accent...sounds amazing...love it
I’m Scottish and I’ve just realised how true this video is 😂
I don't roll my r's at all
Same
Ikr
Really, I thought everyone could do it. But the. Again both of my parents are from Mexico, and "r's" are rolled in Spanish.
Traditionally (originally) Scots dialect only has tapped or rolled r's, so if you heard a Scots person in 1800s speak you would never hear an english or american r. However, since WW2 due to globalisation and increased education, migration and media the 'normal r' has been increasingly adopted. Most folk now speak on a 'class continuum'- lower/working classes in urban or rural communities tend to always tap/roll there r's, while middle classes increasing use less r tapping as you move up the wealth ladder (ie. 'Water' with an american r but 'girl' with a tapped r and two syllables for example) until theres none. This makes sense since middle class and higher are more likely to have links to a different country (america, england, ireland) and this is reflected in their speech and the tapped r's must be one of the first features to be lost probably.
Come tae the east coast around Dundee, fife and Perth - you'll hear plenty of r tapping!
yeah but you send people rolling after them.
I got a Scottish accent after watching Austin Powers, but all I could say was "GET IN MY BELLY!"
mineraftguy123 OMG SAMEEE.... GIT IN MA BELLEE ^-^
Thanks this actually helped!
This helped a lot, thanks!
That couch and room though Teheeheee

that's an unique accent, interesting to learn!
This has been very usefull. Great video!
Spot on. As a Scotsman I can tell you that was a good explanation.
I have auditions for a Scottish role in a musical tonight and this helped soooo much! Thank you!!!
Did you make it

thanks that helped a ton
Thank you. So helpful.
When I traveled for the first time abroad and thus had to use the English language to communicate; I did not have control over the pronunciation, although I knew.
Many accused me of singing and after I had that under control, the people thought I was Scottish because I pronounced with the Dutch southern dialect, Noord-Brabants / Flemish - and the Scots pronounce many words with the same emphasis as the Dutch on á, é, ó, í.
The Flemish accent is the most polite, it sounds in Dutch as the British dialect sounds to Americans; and My Brabantse accent is the French R and not pronouncing the T and the D's.
Of all the dialects, Sco'ish sounds the most beautiful and - ''in touch''.
I will definitely learn and develop this dialect further; though I have to get more control over the accent that I have now - through learning new languages and exposure to other languages and dialects and folk music, I have developed ear for distinction.
***** Though languages change as they are organic, thus an expression of not just the particular individual (quality of mind, geography, ideals, organs), but of a whole population.
Affected by demographic shifts, warfare, idealistic change, trade, inter-marriages, isolation; still a language will adjust to the people; hence a clear differentiation between Ebonics and the English branches developed by the diverse European populations.
Thus, even though the English language is more or less bastardized Latin, it is bastardized in the sense that the pronunciation has been adjusted over time by the people, thus a more Germanic expression in such regards.
Though Dutch and German are similar in many regards, the differences in certain pronunciations are very clear; as we have ''ch'' as they also have in the Arabic and Hebrew language.
But I find Dutch to have more in common with Swedish.
The Germanic branches are rich; but indeed the Scottish dialect is interesting.
***** dont discount the Saxon influence as well, considering Lower Scotland was invaded by the Saxons/Angles
Did ye aye?
God i'm so in love with the Scottish accent! I lovvvvvvveeeee it.
thanks
Jackie boy this place is fantastic.
After watching outlander...i am in love with the Scottish accent!!
This video just helped me nail a Scottish character voiceover for a video game today. This guy is the real deal. I've voiced hundreds of characters for video games, but NEVER one Scot. This was a pretty big title so I was a bit uneasy at first. On the drive to the studio I kept repeating his words "the girrl had a rrred birrd" and it really REALLY helped. I'm coming back to this dude before auditions and gigs from now on.
How was it
Yer goin to be fine donkeh.
You are good!!!!! I'm so impressed!
Scottish accent is my very favorite accent to hear, I love it so much. Been watching old Upstairs/Downstairs w/ Gordon Jackson, LOVE to hear him speak, especially when saying the words: calm, third, thirty, years, careful, worse.
Hmm... I'm a just stick to learning Scottish by listening to Merida's vocals...
I actually grew up in currie hill,Edinburgh around 6-10 years old then moved back to malaysia. All my old friends talk funny. o.O
I've pretty much tried to do it by imitating Demoman from TF2
***** GOD BLESS ELBIE!!!!
Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
No way
Lol
+Michael Umbreon tried it with the scottish 'r' lols
Michael Myers NANI?!
YES, MATE
I'm Aberdonian and was all ready to pull your accent apart but you did beautifully! My sister acted for a while and despite having exactly the same upbringing as I did, now speaks rather like you do (R.P.). I am going to watch the rest of these and attempt to tone my own (rather posh Scots) accent down to see if she notices next time I go home. 25 years in London have done little to my accent although I speak much more slowly here, so, I will try, my sister did do voice production classes, but I also did elocution when I was small but, if you heard us, without seeing us, you wouldn't think we were related.
The video is 10 years old and I’ve bought the same Senheiser headphones just last year 😄
tip from a scot: don’t roll your r’s as much as he is lmao
Ikr lol
I can’t say how much I love Scottish accent it’s like music to me
Thank you!😊
This guy is my old English teacher. Lovely guy really wish him the best.
That's how I pronounce English after a Danish lesson.
Then, when told to speak more clearly, I switch to Russian accent.
This reminds me of Shrek.
***** Shrek? fuck no. ITS BRAVEHEART
Karwan Mizori They use the same accent, so it could be any.
+Karwan Mizori yeah! Braveheart!
This reminds me of Trainspotting.
this reminds me demoman
GREAT VIDEO I LOVE IT SO MUCH THANNYOU
this is very helpful cuz i wanted to get into voice acting the only russian accent and im trying to do more so thank you
*who else is Scottish and is here for no reason*
I wish I can make the pronunciation sounds he makes, 👏👏👏
great subtitles guys
This is so interesting!
Wanna learn Scottish? Simply listen to the dwarves of the Witcher videogames! :DD

Im asian to
I am but it wasn't hard at all. It almost sounds a bit stereotypically Indian
bruh I feel you
Just love the Scottish accent. Especially the type spoken in Brave by Kelly Macdonald!
Aye! The best, regards from Croatia
What do you keep looking at? Words?
Thank you so much for this video. I auditioned for a play and i got shrek so now im practicing his accent
