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.

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.

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.

The first two are more New York accents. New York: Aw vowel sounds whereas Boston: ah vowel sounds

Page Clement's projection and clarity is soooo good

Drop your ‘r’s especially at the end of a word. Elongate your ‘a’s. Switch your final ‘er’ to ‘a’ and your final ‘a’ to ‘er’. Linda becomes Linder and area becomes tuna becomes tuner.

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

As an non-American (I'm half-british) speaker, I find the differences somewhat subtle, especially compared to a New York accent. To me, they sound quite similar. It's easier to hear it when it's more exaggerated, as in a Texan accent or a Southern States accent. The various accents in Britain are much easier for me to figure out (Cockney, Bristolian, Brummie, Scouser, Manc, Yorkshire, Geordie, Scottish, Welsh and Irish etc, and all the different dialects between them). It's weird that I can't figure American and Canadian accents out so easily, even Aussie and Kiwi are easier to differentiate imo.

Tango Whisky ignore my ignorance but I didn’t even know Europeans had different accents till recently. I thought it was all the same accent everywhere

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.

“South Side of Boston”. ...there is no “South Side”. There’s Southie, and there’s the South End.

So glad I grew up in the Boston so I can naturally use this accent on command
