Actor Learns a Boston Accent in 6 Hours | Vanity Fair - บันเทิง
this lady knows what tf shes talking about
Yeah weird how pros know what they're doing
I literally just did a month long class with her
@@brandongoldberg725 what accent ?
I'm so much more aware of saying A's now
@@brandongoldberg725 Really? I would love to hear about that, like anything you don't mind describing.
A Boston accent is wicked hard.
Charo D. It is wicked harddddddd just not for me
I read this in a Boston accent
Doing an exaggerated Boston accent is not that hard with a little practice. Trying to sound like you're an actual Bostonian and aren't doing a bad Peter Griffin impression... that's hard.
You mean wicked hahhd.
Fahk you
“I have to learn a Boston accent!” *goes to New York*
As a Bostonian, I’m dissatisfied.
Also,
Yankees are trash
Swirly Boston is more ah than aw.
Like: Caffe - Boston 😎👌

im sitting in my room practicing a boston accent for no reason :)

thats cool
Same

Well that’s certainly interesting to see you here
Lol. Matt Damon is “natural” and “consistent” with it because that’s his natural accent. At least the one he grew up around anyway.
desertrose0601 seriously lmao
Same with the Marky Mark comparison
Makes and produces tons of movies based in Boston
Be my Minecraft girlfriend
Well actually he grew up in Cambridge witch isn’t really an accent neighborhood it’s mostly south Boston where mark grew up
I love how she was like, ignore every else and just listen to Matt & Mark, they did perfect. They did perfect because its their natural accent, they're both Boston boys. Lol
*Thank you!* It annoyed me that she didn't even specify that.
@@KimberlyGreen She didn't specify that because that's common knowledge.
Exactly!! I was looking for this comment!
@@TheGeorgeD13 She said that Matt does it naturally without his accent coming through... Yeah... Because it is his accent.
Same thing I was thinking.
“I feel like i’m talking in a British accent”
“you’re not British.”
He's not wrong that you ignore the r sound in both accents. It _is_ a little similar to the cockney accent.
New England ... hello?
Boston accent is heavily influenced by the brits; we are the brits until we came here and made the New England. Our accent is not exactly British because it got muddled by other Europeans like Scottish, Irish, etc.
Bostonians have the closest accent to English because it's where English settlers landed.

reminds me of my middle school secretary hhh
Vanity Fair, please make more of these! I'm a huge fan of learning accents just for fun, and this is a great educational way to pick up on some important aspects of an accent, even just for fun.
I assume you've seen the Technique Critique videos about accents? Those are really good as well and informative.
I love learning and practicing accents whenever I can too! I have no dreams of acting at all but it’s something I find myself doing. I’m currently working on including slang of sayings in my accents to make them sound more authentic lol.
Guido Anselmi THANK YOU!!!
Anyone know any more of these?
I wish it was this easy for me. Whatever I do I still have a German accent. I have no clue how to get rid of it just for fun
@@dbp2625 I'm not in any way a professional so take this with a scoop of salt, but maybe it would help starting with regional German accents and slowly working in the direction you want to go.
Bostonians will spot you in a split second if you make just ONE tiny mistake... And they'll point you out like it's a death sentence lol
what do you expect!? This is the city of champions
It's still a bunch of fun to mess around with the accent lol
Fuckin a.

um,, that's True,, lol
My parents grew up in Boston but my father's job transferred them to Alabama in their mid 20s where they stayed for over 50 years. They never lost their Boston accent & I grew up never completely sounding southern no matter how hard I tried to assimilate. My sister & I went to Boston to sprinkle their ashes a few years ago & it was so comforting to be surrounded by voices that sounded like our parents. As a kid, I was embarrassed by my parents sounding so different. But now I love to hear that Boston accent & wish they were still around so I could hear them.
Love this ❤️
You were embarrassed by your parents accent? Compared to a native Alabama accent..?
@@rickberglund2134 ayo
@@rickberglund2134 I love a southern accent..worked Very hard to add in my R syllables lol hated my thick Boston accent...now I miss it at times lol

I’d love to see someone learning an Australian accent. As an Australian I’ve seen some really good accents and some really horrible ones 😁
@Lisey Lourenço God every time I thicken my accent as a joke, I feel so bogan it isn't funny hahaha for some reason saying yeah nah at the start makes it more believable
90% in film are bad 😭
CLEO-R
I can do a great aussy accent, mate
Your accent is easy to do
i've lived in MA my entire life, and following along with this has actually made me momentarily incapable of doing my own native accent. wtf is happening.
alefnull dude sameeeee
I know it’s like an existential crisis
Too bad we don't have an actual accent here in Boston.
@@danodden9783 lolwut
Dan Odden IKR it’s more in the areas like Quincy, Arlington and most of the suburbs south of the City
Bostonian here: people have to be REAL careful to make sure they try to avoid it sounding like a New York accent. A lot of people over-enunciate the “AH” replacing ar- it has to be more casual
Yeah you don’t wanna do CUOAFEE TUOALK, it’s super easy to mess up
This lady should publish textbooks for every English learners. She explains things so simply yet clearly.
Who else was saying the words along with him? haha
I did a version on "Boston Slang" words if you really wanna learn to talk like us :)
James Deveney Productions
y'all boston folk and your gosh darn slang ... i ain't dealin with y'all and your frickin slang !
i swear this is a joke .
Lifelong Massachusettser here: He came a very long way in only five hours. He could nail this if he had more time. There were definitely points when he slipped, but during that final reading (before the audition), he mostly nailed it. He also nailed most of the individual words. Also, Page is a treasure and did a fantastic job breaking the accent down. Though I do feel a tad less Bostonian now, as I definitely don't do that dipthong "o" thing.
this is funny to me bc he's actually also a life long "Massachusettser' lol
SugarDemon1035 same 🤷🏾♀️
Lived in Boston my whole life maybe it’s just me but I got no “o” thing but I live in Dorchester on the side not near southie
Masshole* 🤦🏻♂️
you might do the diphthong O subconsciously and translate it out of your own head. record yourself doing a bunch of long O sounds in your best version of a NY or midwest or southern accent, then do the same thing again with your version of "no accent" and listen to both versions and you might hear yourself doing it on the recording.
Here’s how to do a Midwest accent:
Literally just flatten everything like a pancake
Also helps to pronounce a R in wash (warsh)
@@zxcvbnmaw1 we don't say warsh 😂😂
dylan adams Yes we do here in rural Iowa especially the older generations
@@zxcvbnmaw1 lmao ok well i'm in missouri and i'm in a younger generation. we've only ever said warsh as a joke

"Youre quite the actor". Boom, roasted
Wow, Page Clements is an absolute gem. So patient, constructive and encouraging!
heavenlyhashbrown she’s terrible I can do any accent in 5 seconds of hearing it. She’s to serious
@@Cam12369 Haha ok whatever
This should be a series (pls make one on New York accents)
New York or New Yahrk?
Do we really have an accent ?
Boston and ny accents are pretty much the same thing
Ange Zepp they have slight differences but the Rhode Island accent is like both of them smushed together. imagine how hard that is!
@@joceoui Yeah New York has accents, each burrow it's own...🤦🏿♂️
This lady needs her own TH-cam channel.
My guy said "i feel like I'm talking in a British accent" ironically and not many get this, but that's exactly why we talk that way. Irish/English cap of America south Boston had the largest Irish projects in history.
What are you even talking about?
Not pronouncing Rs is just an English thing. Irish and Scottish people both pronounce their Rs.
and Ireland is a separate Island, British only refers to England, Wales and Scottland.
do dialect coaches go to parties doing like 9 different accents all night just for kicks
the dream life tbh
Oh yeah and then freak people out after a few drinks
I know I would
"I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy..."
So good!!!
I still laugh at that quip. So good !
Such a good line, and it gets the Boston attitude jut right.
I’m a new englander and I approve this message
He did it better in his third attempt with the coach. He seemed wicked nervous during the audition.
Doing a slate can screw with you a little. It's been years since I did so. If I ever go back into acting, there is a local academy where I can take some refresher courses and workshops.
This woman’s voice is wicked good.
She's wicked pissa
I thoroughly enjoyed it too.
lmao he just sounds like Linda Belcher
oh.. my.. god lmao
yes I picture a retired jewish woman in long island lol
jon candelaria 😂
Oh staahp it jonny!! Lol
lmao foreal
I'm sure they let him haul a camera in and just set up shop to film his audition like that.
If this guy is an actor, I’m a brain surgeon.

This is so interesting! Could you do more accents in videos like this
Cajun accent, please!
I did a version on "Boston Slang" words if you really wanna learn to talk like us :)
@@MatthewHaneman I'm Louisiana born and bred and I still can't pull off a Southern or Cajun accent :(
You have another one on your hands Vanity. Keep this series up
Dammit Marty I spent 15 minutes watching you learn this accent and you didn’t get the part
When I was in boot camp everyone tried talking with my accent. By the time we graduated 4 months later they had the accent down. When some of the guys visit me in Boston they talk with the accent. It's hilarious
I swear to god , Vanity Fair has made me very interested in linguistics
Tobias Brieva check out the wired videos on accents...they’re pretty amazing too
@@SmallFryAmI92 very true, same with those videos, and I find that dude has a very good teaching method.
I’m a linguistics major ☺️ very fun
I majored in linguistics, it was not fun but this IS 😆

I love these accent videos! My boy is wicked smaht
"So this is a Haaahvaahd bar?" I did a version on "Boston Slang" words if you really wanna learn to talk like us :)

Boston. Where you cant tell when someones looking for their khaki pants or theyre car keys
Not true. I just tried it. Sounds different to me.
Khaki isn't even pronounced with a K.
Cah Keys
Kackis
Don't sound alike at all
The "ka" in khaki is pronounced more like the beginning of cat, not like the beginning of car.
I love the coach. She's such an accurate teacher that I can lean on.
Yeah we’re pretty notorious for picking apart accents here in Boston but it’s only because nobody ever gets it right.
Everyone either defaults to a New York accent or lays it on too thick so it sounds unnatural. Super interesting to see it deconstructed linguistically though!
Clare tried to read this in a Boston accent😂
@@BbyDAp i did too.. Boston is my hometown, but i don't have quite that accent. but def can tell when it's bad. also, to be a real boston accent, f#$& needs to be every other word.
@@lamoinette23 f#$& needs to be every other word? Sure you're not Australian? It's exactly the same for us
@@MrSunshine251 HAhahaha! Australian and Bostonian have some similarities.
@@lamoinette23 and R don't exist. xD seriously, any time i play an rpg with my bf and I say dagger as daggah he gets pokey. xD Born and raised in Haverhill mass.

This was my favorite series on Vanity Fair so far. The lady was fantastic!
It's not that Matt Damon is "consistent" it's that he grew up in Boston himself.
This lady is amazing for being able to teach him this in such a short period of time and to be able to teach all of these different accents is just incredible, much respect to her for that and respect to him for being able to learn it in such a short time too. Great video, thank you for sharing this.
After he's done practicing tell him to cop an attitude, get low key aggressive, and go for it at the audition.
I'm loving this, please do more.
The duality between how natural an accent is to a local region, and how technical it is to analyze said accent is so crazy.
Also can see why he didn’t land the part. It just didn’t come off comfortable and natural.
Interesting watching as an Australian you can see similarities such as the "er" words even though they are two completely different accents
mr world wide literally what I was thinking about the whole video
Yeah
i see similarities with a variety of south african accents
Grew up in Massachusetts and I always have said that the Aussie accent is like a Boston accent with a little more of an English flair.
Who doesnt just start talking like that immediately after watching The Departed?
I love this and you AND her! She’s kind and informative ❤️❤️
This is amazingly interesting content. Love it.
For people that want a less exaggerated accent, like a normal MA resident, we only completely drop the R when we’re talking fast or we’re mad, when you aren’t thinking about how you pronounce your words.
Fax
Taylor Anne I’m exactly the same way. The heavy accent only comes out when I’m pissed off lol
Mass suburbs almost all have a general American accent. You’ll find the Boston accent in the heart of the city but it’s dying
Brendan Berney I don’t find that at all and I live here 🤷🏼♀️
Or drunk. So I've heard.
There’s so many different types of Boston accent that you won’t notice unless you live in Boston. A lot of Boston accents over-pronounce the R in some words or add one where there isn’t one. Ex: Some people will say Pizza as Pizzer
That added "R" to the end of a word happens when the following word has a vowel as the first letter
chilepizza16 that seems to check out. My grandmother says it a lot and it usually end up like that
yeah sometimes people with less of an accent will say “I have an idear” if they’re talking fast
Omg my mom does the r thing and it bothers me so much😂
"Idear"
"Tuner and chips" (tuna)
"Diver attitude" (diva)
I love how she's talking about how great the native Bostonians do a Boston accent.
This is the most helpful video I’ve ever seen on accents. Good gravy. Thank you.
This video could be half an hour long and I’d still be here
Had he had more time, I definitely think he could have nailed his audition.
This helped me so much on an assignment for my accents class. Thanks!
As a sociolinguist it's actually cool seeing my degree knowledge being taught here 😂😂
That sounds so cool, yo
Everyone tells me I have a “Boston accent” but then I watched this and was like “huh they might be on to something” lol
As someone who lives in Boston, I personally cannot recognize the difference between when he does the accent, and doesn't.
Gorilla Man some people don’t have good ears to accents. It’s like music. Some people can pick out a note with no problem while others have no idea of confuse it with others. I think that’s why on videos like this you have people that have the particular native accent arguing on whether it’s good or not. It cracks me up.
This was really informative, thank you for this
Do more of this! This lady is awesome, kid's pretty good too !
I don't know why this was so interesting, but it sure was! I love her speaking voice. It's hypnotic.
Fabulous teacher!
Yet she iz
Hua hua hua
The way this lady speaks is so soothing.

Very helpful. Fair play to him for putting himself through that. Kudos.
Fascinating and fun to watch! VF and AD (Architectural Digest) are becoming my favorite channels on TH-cam. Who else got pissed that he didn't get the gig?
i need this to become a series!
I did a version on "Boston Slang" words if you really wanna learn to talk like us :)
I love the fascination with the Boston accent. Being born and raised in Massachusetts and haven’t lived there in 24 years yet people can still hear it when I say certain things and they love it, I guess it kinda flattering to have it
Her general tips for learning an accent were very helpful!
This was so entertaining to watch!! You should do someone trying to learn a new york/north jersey accent in a set amount of time. I feel like there are so many awesome and pretty bad examples of this accent in film/TV. And there are so many iconic movies/shows with this accent included!
Probably best you don't come to the Uk and ask someone of Indian or Pakistan ethnicity for the liquor store!
Burp Reynolds hahaha no. Do not do that, friends.
Why not?
how come?

@@mey.3574 no its not
this was awesome please do one for an Australian accent cos it’s so funny to see people try it lol
“I’ve lost my Khakis” = Ive lost my car keys
as someone who grew up in Southie, I found this vid interesting and funny 😂
Same 😂 he ended up sounding like my neighbors chatting outside
Aw poor kid, his nerves got the better of him.
Page is such a good teacher!
Page Clement's projection and clarity is soooo good
Do a video with a southern accent!!!
That would be a good one b/c there are so many varieties!
@@ladypinkylee absolutely. I've sent 99% of my life in the South and Texan, Floridian (me), Georgian, Louisianan, and North Carolinian are so different.
Yes! Fake Southern accents drive me crazy. I may not have one, but I've been in the South since 1975 and can here it.

We don’t pronounce t’s. Mitten = Midden. Little Italy = Liddle Idaly. Haven’t lived in Boston in forever, still can’t pronounce T’s!!!
Lol so what do you call that subway that you take then??
@@ezra86 The D!
It's because they dumped the Tea in the harbor.
Same here in Utah. Hunting in the mountain before winter = Hunning in the mounain before winner. Its almost like they we saw the alphabet and just threw the T right out the window
We in Vermont don't pronounce our T's either. Not sure about the rest of New England.
This should be a series!
So glad I grew up in the Boston so I can naturally use this accent on command
Would love love love to see someone try to do this for an Irish accent, especially a specific regional accent since it seems a lot of Americans/non-Irish English speakers seem to have a generalised view of an Irish accent lmao ☘️
Im Moroccan speaker Dublin accent irhs end more live at gran canaria Puerto Rico spain
Boston? Just pick Chris Evans to keep up your Boston accent
As a Rhode Islander, we share a lot of the same slang and dialects.
If the word ends in "a," we're gonna add a "r." If it ends In a "r" we're gonna add an "a".
Thank you so much!!! I have an audition in a few weeks and I've been struggling with the Boston accent I have to do
8:00 And that is how you pronounce the letter "Ö" for you interested. It sounds nothing like an O. Pöööörfect.
Same with Ø :D

The first two are more New York accents. New York: Aw vowel sounds whereas Boston: ah vowel sounds
Grew up in Boston area (Everett, MA.) Kid made a lot of progress in a short time. Great job by Marty and Page in the time frame. You imagine if they had more time, he'd be great.
this should be series!
As an Australian right at 8:16 they sounded pure Aussie
Absolutely! We can pick our accent out anywhere!
Wow, very interesting video and what a great teacher, and he did a great job and learned extremely quickly!! Please make more of these!!!
I think he did amazing with that short amount of time. And Page Clements was fabulous. This is fascinating stuff to me and apparently lots of other people.
watching the audition made me so nervous i could never do that
