There is something I have a hard time wrapping my head around... And coming from a part of the world that is recognized in part for its accent (Quebec), it boggles my mind that I can't understand this : I hear the specific sounds the Brits use in the way they speak. I can easily imitate that. But I have no idea what is so distinctive in the American accent 🤔. I can't seem to be able to hear it. Maybe because I'm used to it... but then again I am used to hearing my own accent and I still know what makes it distinctive... I don't get it. And Brit actors are really good at speaking American. I had no idea, for example, that Hugh Laurie was a Brit.

Hugh Bonneville has an American accent, but an American accent from the time of Downton Abbey.

Lol at those saying those are not good American accents. They were deliberately using cliched American accents! That was part of the joke. Trust me, if they wanted to fool you with an American accent, without being tongue in cheek, they could do it. There are a number of American actors who can do English/British accents, but I think British actors find it easier to do American accents because (a) they grew up with American movies, in a way many Americans don't grow up with British movies, (b) someone with a RP accent (BBC English / the Queen's English) find it easier to "add" an American accent, whereas Americans find it more difficult to "remove" their accent to sound British RP, (c) British actors tend to be terrifically well-trained and there is an excellent tradition of acting schools and repertory performances that make them very rounded performers, (d) American producers love hiring Brits because they tend to be cheaper and more conforming than some bigger American actors, so British actors get a lot of real-world exposure to American culture and film-making, and (e) Brit actors want to make it in America in ways most American don't want or need to make it big in the UK, so they don't bother to develop a British accent. I would also add that Brits are renowned for their natural acting ability, sense of humour and irony, for playing a role, and for using linguistic skills to say one thing and mean another. As John le Carré said, the English, above all nationalities, make excellent spies. Thus ends my essay.

Hugh did a classic upper class American accent from the 50s which was pretty accurate. Michelle did valley girl and the other guy did Protect Runway lol

The last time I took students to Europe, I was walking down a street in London with some of the kids when we passed a British mom walking in the other direction (rather quickly) with her eight year old son. Just as we passed them, he was saying, "But Mummy, I promise I won't do it again!" (Say that with your very best high BBC accent!) I could see that my students were trying hard not to laugh out loud while we were still close. Once we got a bit further down the block, one of the girls said laughingly, "Somehow I didn't think people who sounded like that when they talked COULD misbehave!"

I didn't see Allan Leech coming with that one! It's amusing until his line, then it just gets hysterical!

did Allen learn to do an American accent from watching project runway exclusively or something?

+Anne Hebert - Having lived in both the US and the UK, I have to say there seems to be a fairly even swap of programming between the two, but that still creates a bit of tunnel vision. I'm going to ramble for a moment... Neither country seems aware of how hard it is to imitate the opposing nation's regional dialects. Defaulting to a stereotypical variation is a common trick used by British actors to mask inconsistencies. Usually it's a (generic) Southern drawl, as the speech patterns are easier to adopt, but in this video it's "Mr. Fabulous" and the "Valley Girl." - Likewise, American actors often resort to what I call "Stage British." This is s direct result of what the US is most often exposed to. Classically, British actors were encouraged to mask their own regional accents with a generic, easy to understand manner of speaking. America had a similar policy of their own. Thankfully, this trend is slowly dying, but that bleached British is usually what American actors attempt to (or are coached to) mimic. Likewise, the bleached American is often attempted across the pond. The truth is, the two countries are very similar. To the untrained ear, most regional accents are lost. It only takes a tiny amount of exposure to sort New York from California, or Ireland from Scotland. But, the ear learns faster than the tongue. At the end of the day, we should all just hang out more.

I like that they imitate the dumbest American accents they can.

Because there’s a lot of American media in British lives but out doesn’t really go the other way around. Most Brits have seen friends, seinfeld, Brooklyn 99 etc, not many Americans have seen Miranda or IT crowd or Black Books.

Love it, and very timely. We just finished binge watching Downton Abbey, including the movie. Hugh sounds a bit like Judge Smeels on Caddyshack.

OMG! I was smuckling at Michelle and Hugh's exchange...then Allen chimed in and I completely lost it 😂😂😂 Bravo👏🏽👏🏽 you guys

It's amazing how a change in the accent of a language such as English can make you sound so much less intelligent at a moments notice.

Never fails to impress how American actors can adopt upper class British accents too, really impressive.

@@luceafarul579 - I think it's more to do with culture really. We have A LOT of accents and dialects in the UK lol. You could drive for 1 hour in any direction in the UK and it will be a completely different accent altogether. So it's quite natural for us to learn them all, thus not so difficult a task to learn accents and dialects from international countries. The accent on TV isn't actually one that originates in day-to-day life, it's a manufactured accent called RP ("Received Pronunciation"), often employed in an effort so that it will be easier for others to understand you better. If someone were to watch a TV show and it was exclusively using an accent from the likes of Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Sunderland or Glasgow, then the chances of international audience understanding it would be quite slim lol.
