This may not make sense, but I find there's a new way that certain singers say their r's, almost like a w sound, like an intentional speech impediment... is it called cursive? That sort of lazy, relaxed mouth singing? Those could be soggy r's. 😊

To make an R "crispy", the tip of your tongue goes higher and farther back in your mouth, almost touching the roof of your mouth. I think most English speakers keep the tip of their tongue more relaxed than that when they pronounce their R's.

Crispy Arse 👏👏👏

Yay! Trixie on your channel 💕 Love stuff about accents. Erik Singer has some really cool videos you could reference 😜

I was just watching t&k when I got this notification and got way too excited when i saw the podcast in the intro 😭😭

Okay, but what does that mean? I'm hearing you do impressions, but I'm not hearing how those people are different from anyone else.

That Gordo guy from Lizzy Maguire as well!! Noticed that one as a child; probably my earliest Crispy R encounter 😂

Love watching your videos, Mary! You're so talented and super sweet!

Please do an impersonation of Rupauls Queens!! Also Juno Birch has amazing speech patterns, love her

not native speaker, it sounds like normal American R to me 😂

Omg I knew EXACTLY what the “R’s” sounded like the second I read the title of the vid-I never knew it had a name! Also, I immediately thought of Dakota Johnson. She has some pretty crispy R’s.

Im not quite grasping/hearing what a crispy R is. I dont get it. Maybe its because I'm from Massachusetts, and we have nonexistent R's. But it just sounds to me like people pronouncing their Rs normally. (Basically what I try to do as much as possible, until I get tie-id, and it stahts to slip out.) Whateva!!!!

I never ever knew what to call this but always loved it?? One of my best friends in high school spoke like this and it was always so satisfying lol

God ive wanted a word for this sound. It's special

"You just near CRRRRRASHED into me" is what I would call crispy R. 😅

Never heard that moniker for them, but I like it!

Sarah Michelle Gellar! I noticed it a lot while watching Buffy as a kid, I’ve always been interested in language and I remember being so fascinated by how she pronounced her Rs at times. Gets more pronounced as the series goes on, iirc.

Kesha also has crispy r's!!!! You can see her in a few different interviews especially when she says words like 'career'.

I always found the sound of “crispy R’s” so satisfying, but I didn’t realize it had a name. My uncle’s wife has crispy R’s.

There's a linguist named Erik Singer that has several videos about accents that are a fun watch and he mentions in one that some people curl their tongue tip up when making the Sss sound and the rest curl the tongue tip down. I curl down. I think the upcurl is the one you're noticing. Or they might just have a bit of a lisp and the tongue point isn't curling at all.
