Hey Lucas, yes you can and should. It’s a recognized course that our students make sure to put it on their resumes. Any training you get throughout your time as an actor or projects you work on will usually always go on your resume. Of course there are some exceptions, but for the most part you will put all your work/training on your resume. Cheers
I'm from the UK and had no hopes for acting in an American accent but this simplifies it immaculately, completely transforms ones dialect in seconds... great video man!
@@schule01 Man when I'm speaking in non slavic languages I have a hard time going with this damm R, offs why ppl wont say are from the tip of the thong
I’m kinda annoyed by how you say that because I’m Filipino and I don’t like my accent and I want an English accent. But that doesn’t mean I’m trashing Filipino culture because we do in fact have a television show called “Maria Clara Ibarra” which talks about the past happenings of Filipinos and it was a book written by our national hero, Jose Rizal, and GMA Network finally made a decent looking show that isn’t all about love triangles.
@@tritonbard7704 unfortunately it doesn’t have an english caption yet, but hopefully. It’s a really good show honestly. With some twist people are saying.
ik i'm american but it is actually super easy you just have to watch A TON of shane dawson and start eating a LOT of american foods my dude. now, i will go eat oof
I’m from New Zealand but I already have a pretty basic idea of how the American accent works. But I didn’t know about the “the” thing before vowels and consonants so that’s a great help and I’ll remember to use that in future 😄
2 years later, another kiwi here! I feel like I've got the exaggerated southern drawl and west coast rasp pretty good, but I want that neutral Seattle voice!
I don't know why I keep falling for it. First I thought Bennidict was going to teach me how to ask realistically and now I thought Decaprio was going to teach me an accent I was born with
And what I (as a german) noticed additionally: The rhythm and the melody are extremely important. German sounds very monotonous and american english is more like a melody
it's kind of ironic because I was thinking and comparing american english with british english in my head and I thought british english sounded way more melodic and "musical" than american
@@chloeedmund4350 I don't think that german sounds monotonous but about French, are you sure that french doesn't sound monotonous ? There's no stress in French, words or syllabes or sentences are not stressed. French is the only language I know without stress, even the other latin languages like italian or Spanish are strongly stressed.... The real question is which one is more suave ? 😂
I'm from America, but I have a British friend that can pronounce his immaculately if he wants to. Hearing him do it is really eerie though, because he keeps the rest of his accent. He just pronounces the R's
I'll practice. Thank you for your instruction. It helps to hear words said and explained versus just hearing them spoken and not really acknowledging exactly how they're pronounced. I hear the mistakes I make when I speak and I find myself wondering why it is I pronounce certain words the way I do.
Native english speakers have little or no idea how much non english speakers like me and most people want to learn english and their accents. For us(Asians), the more we're fluent in english, the more repectable we become. You guys can earn a lot by teaching your own accents online even without a degree or qualifications
On Seinfeld, George usually pronounces "father" as "fathuh", but in one episode he converts to catholicism and accidentally says "fadduh", like a tough Italian guy. 😋
Moved to the US from the UK recently and joined my school’s theatre club. I’ll be playing Dally Winston in a musical of The Outsiders next September. Been patching up my American accent for the role and this video helps a lot! Thank you 😊
I'm American. I'm trying to learn how to speak with an American accent, as I dislike the southern accent I have now. This helps some, thank you! I'll definitely keep an eye out for more of your stuff like this.
@@hanoitripper1809 Yeah, it’s mainly because of the stereotype that comes with the accent that I dislike. Plus I the American accent seems less obvious than the southern one.
@@apersonontheinternet8354 ah ok. Im not American so didnt know about that negative stereotype. But i met a girl from Atlanta when i was in Europe and thought her accent was amazing.
I did this, sounds like a mid west accent in my school(at London) people started asking me if I'm american thanks. Also a sounds are different in american general accent to British general accent
I'm studying English and thus have to pass a General American speaking class, and these 5 minutes have helped me sound more American quicker than 3 months of uni lmaoo
I've noticed that, where a word has a vowel before a consonant at the end, the vowel is often dropped, as in Peter becomes "Peet'r", Martin becomes "Mart'n" and Colin becomes "Col'n"
I'm from Sweden and have developed a very good american accent, at least pronunciation-wise, but I think inflection and the general tone is very difficult to master as a non-native speaker
I'm American and a little Southern and I say "thuh" everytime. I don't think I've ever said "thee" unless I was reading some 1800s type of writing out loud in English class lol
I got to the part about t’s=d’s and I was like “oh no big adjustment not gonna be able to remember that”. Then I said little instinctively and I realised I’ve been saying ‘little’ and ‘liddle’ my whole life
Thank you!! I'm looking into hopefully becoming an actor and then I realised... "I probably need an American accent for roles." (I have a slightly Australian accent, but like I can't pronounce certain words 'American like'. For example, Mom. I pronounce it 'mum.
i’m trying to see what kinds of accents i can master, as i might start voice acting in the future. i’m from the u.k. but ever since i was little i’ve been able to do quite a good american accent. it’s always just come naturally to me 🤷♀️

I feel like I rarely say "thee", but honestly, I think most Americans would say "the apples" as "th'apples" and "th'elephants" and run it together instead of saying "thuh" or "thee"
My only problem when it comes to accents is unconsciously switching between british and american and australian, im trying to distinguish them so i can master each separately
i was born and have grown up in america, but my family is russian, and we speak russian at home. my russian is much worse than my english (still understandable). today my brother mentioned my accent, he said it was more of a british accent rather than a russian one, so i asked my friends and they said i kind of have an accent. i want to get rid of it but i don't know how 😫
