One of my favorite parts of this series is when Erik tries the accent he's critiquing and nails it. Every time.

The reason why Dev Patel’s Australian accent sounds off occasionally is because of how he’s not doing a totally original accent, he’s doing a recreation of Saroo Brierley, who was actually born in India but grew up in Australia. If you hear Saroo talk, he has very inconsistent Australian English pronunciations. Also as a fun fact, the real Saroo Brierley and Nicole Kidman actually helped Dev with his accent which is why it sounds the way it does.

Margot Robbie as Tonya Harding was one of the all time best performances, all the way down to the smallest detail

Kate’s accent in the Dressmaker is even more brilliant because she has a 1950’s Australian accent (which was when the film was set). There’s a little bit of British mixed in with it (which was prevalent during that time especially in the cities).

Truth be told I can’t remember one actor that did a good job with a Russian accent. It just seems to be hard to properly get down and when most people try to do it they usually go to a commonly stereotypical type of accent. I’m not sure if it’s just hard to do or if people just don’t put much effort into it.

As you stated in the previous comment you deleted (I’m assuming after you realized it overlapped with the definition of obscurity), the science of linguistics typically goes “unknown”, especially in this depth, by the general public. It’s not common knowledge even for the vast majority of educated individuals unless they chose that subject area to study and specialize in.

Exactly!! One of the primary definitions of the word of obscure is “not well known”, which suggests that something that is obscure is not common knowledge. My mother-in-law studied linguistics as her major, and not even she can speak this knowledgeably on the subject. It is not common knowledge, or “well known” subject matter for the vast majority of people (including some specialists). I’m not sure why people feel the need to behave in such a dunce manner for the sake of being a know-it-all. If someone were to know an incredible amount about Anglo-Irish literature or Ornithology, the fact that the subject they’re so knowledgeable about has a name does not make the less commonly known topics within that field any less obscure.

Kammy Hornsby I would disagree with the word choice as obscure have certain connotations that don’t necessarily fit with the feeling I think you’re trying to encapsulate.

With that first one, the sounds aren't terrible but it seems overenthusiastic to me. Australians with non-Anglo backgrounds tend to stick pretty closely to their ethnic accents. You're definitely not going to get the really distinctive "mayte", "loife" vowels (which even plenty of Anglo Australians don't do anymore). In general, that sort of Crocodile Dundee (broad Australian) accent is disappearing because most people live in the major cities and that's just not how English is taught in schools. Kate Winslet really nailed the "general Australian" accent, which is how most people actually talk.

@katherinemorelle7115

5 жыл бұрын

It seems that the general (not broad) Aussie accent is really difficult for most to get (easy for me- it’s my native accent). Strangely enough, I’ve had so many (mostly Americans) ask me if I’m British! I could pick that Dev Patel wasn’t an Aussie- mostly because he did mix up a broad and general accent. But Kate was flawless- and also had that slight British intonation that Aussies had in the past (which would be easy for her). That particular intonation is still present in the refined Australian accent, but most of us don’t have it anymore. I’ve always wondered if the very “flatness” of the Aussie accent is what makes it so hard- it’s easier to add than to subtract. And I’ve also conversely wondered if that’s why Aussie actors tend to be considered better at accents than most (think Margot Robbie)- we add when we’re doing another accent- move the tongue more here, open your mouth more there...
