What a genuinely nice guy. Love these interviews

Y’all got me over here saying THAT CAR IS FARRRR like 50 times lol🤣🤣🤣

"Whale, I'll beef hooked" is one way of nailing Irish vowels, if not a terribly polite one. (Ed. I've been informed by a certain smackerz 88 that it's a regional accent! Thanks!!)

No it's really not.

The accent guy from Wired Technique Critique explains this "ar" vowel dipthong sound really well. Stephen's doing a hard palate R when Paul is doing a soft palate A. It's the difference between pushing out an R from the tongue going forward, vs swallowing an A from the tongue moving backward. Try saying "scarlet army" with your tongue as far back as you can

Love Paul, Normal people is one of the best shows to watch in these times

Sounds like a pirate: Yarrgh! the carrgh is farrgh!

Awesome clip ty

One way Americans stand out like a third thumb when we visit Ireland is the way we pronounce the country's name. The Irish pronounce the "Ire" more like "Ar." "Arland."

@theflyingshamanthegreatmin9788 we can't. That's like saying that the English can correct us on our pronunciation. They can't. We have Irish accents. We're all native speakers. Just like they can't correct Scottish or Welsh people, except for 'professional' English. Them telling us to say THirty THree instead of Tirty-Tree would be considered snobbish and rude. Same goes for Americans. The word 'Ireland' doesn't belong to us. The British came up with it to name Éire.

@@tn1340 The word Ireland derives from Irish it does belong to us not the British nor did they come up with it. They can pronounce it however they like there's no incorrect pronunciation, but if an Irish person wants to correct them that's their prerogative.

I guessed the same, that Irishmen are pirates, Paul was teaching you how to sound more pirate-like, nice interview.

He's so nice hahahahaha

In Ireland 'pull off' means something else...

I’m Glad the your tweeter feed isn’t farrr, 〽️r. Stephen 💎

The Irish guy is making the "ar" sound farther back on his soft palate, not in the front of his mouth on his hard palate.

Why didn't he ask him what he has coming up, why he's in Sydney, etc.. (or how do these appearances work? Is it because Hulu is paying him to promote Normal People being streamed on Hulu now?)

Best thing to do when trying to speak with an Irish accent is please don't try at all because there are multiple Irish regional accents not the one stereotypical offensive Hollywood Irish accent that we hear time and time again.

Canada is a ginormous country of many accents. I've never been to the stereotypical "Canadian accent" place, because it doesn't exist. Don't do it, because when people get it wrong, it's just sad. Tip #1: maybe somewhere down east, someone says "aboot", but I've never heard it.

Yes I agree. Trying to do a general " Irish accent " doesn't make sense since every part of Ireland has a different accent and most of the 32 counties have a lot more than one accent It just hurts our ears. Paul Mescal is using his normal kildare accent here but in " normal people ", he made a good attempt at an accent from the North west. At least I thought so. But I'm from Dublin so what would I know. I just wish Americans wouldn't even try.

@@kylorenthehusky2584 No. But Americans never and I mean never get any kind of irish accent right and it's cringey for us. Maybe if someone were to come to one region of Ireland and live there for a while and then focused on that one accent, it might be less awful. It just seems that the vocal coaches who train people in "Oirish" accents have literally never met an Irish person.

When you say "Go way outa that" remember to stress the 'r'.

Stephen Colbert missed asking a good question. “ I heard you panicked when you read the scripts?” If wasn’t over the sex scenes. It was all the car scenes when he is driving around, mostly with the actress playing his mother. The problem was he didn’t know how to drive. So without telling that to the producers or casting director, he quickly dashed out to get driving lessons - and a license.

this was one of the most random interviews ever

Here's a primer for all those people trying to get your tongues around an Irish accent: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l5mTsJWgZLK4fM4.html

Stephen's accent was just from Boston 😂

Lol

The irish "ar" is done with the tongue and the top of the throat, in the back of the mouth...make a circular opening at the end of the soft palate and say "ar" without ever closing it...I teach voice, and diction/body awareness is key...bet colbert could do it great if not for how heavily he pronounces his "r" sounds.

So I only know one person who is Irish and that's Jacksepticeye and that's a pretty good tip. I noticed that with him too. I'll probably never nail it but at least I can get one step closer I suppose

The first pitfall is ending up with the toora loora US movie leprechaun sound, trying to be very light and florid. If Irish people spoke like that in theatres 100 years ago, they don't now. It sounded like Stephen was going into elvish speaking mode with the florid r's for a bit, there's some grit to conversational speech. Get the Young Offenders on and give the Cork accent a whirl, that'd be unreal

Lol...the car may be far...but sadly not as Far from the accent attempt Stephen! You can't do the accent but we'll still claim you as our own (you don't have to sound Irish to BE Irish). Ps had the good fortune to see Paul as a "youth" is a super version of The Phantom of the Opera in Waterford a couple of years ago.

😎

He should have started with something easier and more leprechaun, which is how most americans go about speaking like an Irishperson. Something like "ah be gyra me spuds are burnt for feck sake" Or "ITS NOT CLOSING TIME YE FOOKIN DURTBURD"

So... Irish Pirates then?

Paul MESCAL I enjoy a shot or two your drink, though some like to suck a lime with salt with it I prefer a slice of cheese. ; )

I think the trick with an Irish 'R' it to think of it as lazy. Stephen's R is working way too hard. Think of the placement of the tongue in the mouth in a R sound and then relax the tongue totally like its barely doing any work. In Stephens accent the tongue is still turning upwards in the mouth, he should practice saying R without moving his tongue at all.

Mescal like the kind you drink?

My gosh, he's so dreamy and hot...and I'm a straight guy!

First!

Mescal is Irish?

Ha

Zuckerberg/Timberlake lovechild? 😅

Dumb interview. The sex scenes very tastefully support the love story in an honest way. Colbert was like a teenage boy giggling over sex. Normal People is such a deep and moving story about love, depression, trauma, redemption, but hey Colbert keep it superficial.
