I've been in the South since 1978. My family moved from the Midwest when I was a boy. I recall having to learn to understand Southerners. The challenge of doing a Southern accent in a movie is that the actors have to make what they are saying understandable. Even after 40-some years in the South I make no claims to speaking well with a Southern accent and I study diction having once been a voice major and also now working as an audio engineer. The Southern vowels actually bear a striking resemblance to some used in some Scottish and Irish accents.

I love watching you guys. You never have a fail moment in my book.

I love these!!! Partly because while I was born in Denver Colorado, I moved away when I was 4 years old, and been living in the south for decades. (Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida) When I was working as an associate minister in Tennessee in my late 20's, one of the reasons I got the job was because the PPR said I had a had no accent. "It's almost like you're not from anywhere." (I have a friend from Ukraine that is very disappointed the only American they know from the south, doesn't sound like a southerner.) 🤣🤣 I love these shows you and the Sothern Thing team does!! Keep up the great work.

I would love to see y'all react to the accents from Hart of Dixie.

Southern Batman “Where’s Martha?” 😂😂😂

I literally lol'd at 10:49!! 😂😂 They are so cute!

I always thought it was funny when people would complain about Lucas Black's accent on NCIS New Orleans. They would get mad at his "fake" accent without knowing that's how he really talks. LOL. Poor guy couldn't win.

I discovered Justified late. My whole family is from Kentucky and I love his character and his accent. I think he plays it just about right. Matter of fact, he kinda sounds like one of my uncles. Don't know who taught him on the accent, but they did a good job, he could easily be someone from the Harlan area.

Teeter from Yellowstone not being on this list is a crime 🤣

Im originally from Dallas, Tx. Growing up I thought the "South" was like...over there. It wasnt until I went to California when I was 13 that I was termed as having a southern accent. However...just before I went to California the last school year I had become very good friends with a girl from Alabama. Now SHE had a southern accent and it was BEAUTIFUL to my ears. I mean...it was music like an Irish or Scottish accent is. But anyways. I can usually pick up exactly where someone is from pretty easily. At least their general area. That is because my dad was a born and bred Texan but my mother was a damn yankee..(dads words, not mine) and I also had a half brother raised in Wisconsin which sound slightly Canadian but now I'm babblin'. After 35 years in NC youd think I'd sound like a Tarheel...but only Texans think I sound like it. Its a strange world. We have all meshed a bit...especially in the cities nowadays. Lol luv y'all.

Can we please get a video of you guys gently duct taping Talia to a chair for a Knives Out double feature? She needs to see them!

Have you ever done Andrew Lincoln from The Walking Dead? Lincoln is from the UK and his southern accent as Rick Grimes is....an experience.

I think his Southern accent is cringe and painful although I enjoy the show.

He started off rough but got better as the seasons went on. Not the best though.

Lennie James sounds more southern to me. I've watched him with a southern accent on two different shows before I found out he was actually British!

I would love it if the cast would review the accents on the TV series, "Hart of Dixie." They range from borderline offensive to "You're from where?" (Normally, I am judgmental about southern accents, but I love that show so much that I don't care. 🥰)

I'd love to see a sequel to this video where y'all critique the BEST Southern Accents from actors in a movie or TV show. Even shows/movies from long ago. I'd be so curious to see your reactions!

Love that... "Buckle up!" LOL

This is so funny! Just the other day I was watching an episode of murder she wrote, and it was set in the South. I laughed out loud at the accents. They were soooo bad and over the top. It reminded me of Gone With The Wind.😅

I would pay good money to watch Southern Batman!

One of the best fake southern accents I've ever heard is Kyra Sedgwick. It's thick, but it's very consistent, and she doesn't take it over the top. Her performance in Secondhand Lions, with Michael Caine and Robert DuVall, was so fluid and consistent that I just assumed she was a southerner. It wasn't until years later that I learned she's from New York.

But her character was supposedly from Atlanta, yet her accent was rural hick. I thought it was atrocious. If you've ever been to Atlanta you know what I mean. Urban and rural Southern accents are extremely different, even in the same region of each state.

@loricrane6293 Oh, I know it. I'm from south Georgia and one of my best friends is from one of the Atlanta suburbs. There is a HUGE difference in our accents. I didn't know she was meant to be from Atlanta. All the characters are originally from Texas, and that's where the film is set.

Would love to see you react to good southern accents too - Loved the Corinthian's accent in the Sandman personally.

Hes just actually southern though. Like tbh I haven't seen him in any shows or movies where he doesn't sound southern

I'm not from the South. But I love your channel. The closest I came to living in the South was moving to St. Augustine for a few months in 2003. I think what has happened is that through media, such as news broadcasts, they got rid of the broader accents to the point of erasing them nearly entirely. I had friends from Georgia in the '60's with more pronounced accents than I hear from people from that same location today.

Is so funny because Daniel Craig makes fun of his accent. He’s said his accent isn’t really southern & it’s just a made up one 😂

True blood is freaking HILARIOUS 😂

I cant believe yall didnt do Nicholas Cage from Con Air!!!! P.S. I always thought the last guy from Justified did a great Southern accent!

I’m from Kansas and my husband is from Alabama. When we first started dating we had to ask each other to “ please repeat that”. We laughed our butts off. 28 years later we’re still laughing our butts off.

Southern Batman 😂😂😂 bro. I will never forget that one

I got one for you. Lord of the rings movies, but all American actors have Southern accents.

I'm not surprised Jessica Lange did well. She's played a lot of Southern characters in her career.

This. Was. Awesome!!! 😂😂😂

The South was settled by people from Northern England, Ireland, and Scotland. Our dialects originate from them. Of course they can do ours. Actually research has show that Appalachian folks have the original British accent and the Brits purposely changed theirs for some reason. 😊

Well being from eastern Kentucky I have to say that’s pretty accurate

I lived many years just down the road from Somerset, Kentucky. (Justified) I can attest to the fact that yes, they do indeed still sound like that. When I go back to visit I am amazed by the number of friends back there that sound like your typical, forced southern accent.

Southerner here who has a real deep southern drawl. My criticism is more in the vocabulary rather than the crappy accent. Not saying we don't have an elaborate vocabulary, but there are certain words that don't work with a heavy southern drawl and we don't use them...

That went from southern to UK real quick! Lol!

Y’all should do this with Broadway shows! (Examples: Bonnie and Clyde; Bright Star; Waitress; Parade; etc.)

Thank you. Please take an entertaining look at "Hart of Dixie" (2011-15) for as many "Southern" things to address as possible.

Good to see the 'Who made this dry ass cornbread!?' lady again!

As a North Carolinian, it's always fun watching Cold Mountain. The accents are all over the place in that movie.

I have never heard the term:”southern Batman” before this video, and what would he drive a bat pickup😆😂🤣🤔.

I think that since Southern accents were derived from British accents, I think Brit’s do Southern accents quite easily compared to other American regions. However I think you should have someone do a classic Southerm mush mouth.

I think Miranda Richardson, who is English, did a great job doing a Southern accent on The Apostle, starring Robert Duvall.

In the show Seal Team, AJ Buckley's character is from Texas. He's originally from Dublin, but he nails a Texas accent from small town Texas. It varies from locale to locale with city accents being different than small towns, but his is on point.

I would love to see your reaction to Nicholas Cage's horrible Alabama accent in Con Air. Especially the bunny scene.
