To that a lot of men are always stating „not all men“, meaning they would never do such stuff, but mostly just ignoring their privileges. Original commentator is saying that those men are right. Not ALL men are abusers/etc, because there is (only) one who isn’t: dialect coach Eric singer seems so genuine and nice that he would never do such things.

Analysis of the vowels of the recorded caller and the suspect showed that they had completely different (and identifiable - I believe Boston vs New York) accents and couldn't have been the same person. Forensic linguistics is so cool.

Abby Jo Morris - I have his voice in my head critiquing his own facial structure and grooming technique over time: “You see here, in the beginning, he’s less practiced and less self aware - then we go to a more recent clip, and you see there is a posture and even the facial grooming, he’s lost his need to be “camera ready” and shave everyday, and yet he is more aware at how that small decision changes the reception - and I think for the positive - in the viewer.

Speaking English as a non native speaker is so weird and challenging sometimes. Because you don't grow up with one accent or dialect. Your dialect, vocabulary, pronunciation, accent, everything is a messy amalgamation of everything and however you learn each word. Often knowing multiple, many pronunciations for a single world or knowing a bit of every accent. And you need to make a conscious decision as to which option you want to choose in the moment. Almost like an identity crisis. It's like breathing manually.

I was in class with him for a year, believe me, Erik never talks about "correct" or "incorrect." He hates that, as there's no such thing as correct speech. Rather, when we talk about actors doing accents that aren't their own, we can talk about more or less "successful" achievement ;)

WHY DO WE ONLY GET LIKE ONE VIDEO LIKE THIS A YEAR?!? Erik needs to do this weekly.

Erik Singer: I am so impressed by your presentation of this material. It would have been easy for a snide or mocking tone to have crept into your remarks, especially when dealing with the less savory characters here. You are always scholarly and respectful, no matter who you're presenting.

Queen Elizabeth was so over the top in real life when she was young; if Claire Foy had gone totally accurately for that high pitched really posh voice, she would have appeared to be doing a caricature. In fact, Queen Elizabeth herself toned down her own accent later in life. Claire got it exactly right in the film to appear authentic.

@abijo5052

This is actually a pretty common thing, see all the famous people that have entered lookalike contests and not come first. There's also lots of films/TV/plays based on real events that have to be toned down because people would think they were too over the top.

Have you ever addressed Benedict Cumberbatch's speech impediment? He suppresses it in public and when performing, but when he played Turing and Assange he had to create a stammer and lisp, respectively while suppressing his own issue. I thought that was amazing, especially while recreating accents.

@@Walfuz I"m not a speech pathologist, but I"ll do my best. The left side of his mouth doesn't seem to seal (you can see how much bigger his smile is on the left side, which is nice), so sometimes you can catch a hissy leak of air. In Sherlock, it sounds like he says Tchon instead of John, he has trouble with tch's, as in Batch. If you look at blooper reels you can find examples. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aW14uKuHd926hJM.html Hear him say spider, and then everything he says in the van. On Graham Norton, when Harrison Ford compliments him, he says TYVM but loses his composure and lisps it. In the Sherlock bloopers when Martin makes him laugh explosively, he turns his face away so we can't see his mouth go wide, but we can hear it. Anyway, I'm not alone in thinking it's charming, but it is amazing how he is able to hide it when he wants to.

Wouldn’t loved to see a more in-depth analysis of Claire Danes as Temple Grandin. One of the greatest performances of its decade, film or tv. The cast and film/series was top-notch too. One of HBO’s many huge triumphs.

Really enjoyed this. I mimic voices myself and never had a coach so it was always for personal use. I use in teaching English to mix it up and let the kids know how different accents can and will throw you off and how important it is to listen to multiple. I never really delved too far into the details of it really outside of teaching phonics and the difference between British and American English, so this made me really think.
