I think our upward inflection is a mix of friendliness, wanting to include the other person in the conversation, and seeking their approval. It's endearing, but can get a bit monotonous if someone uses it too much.

@@candicemoll8386 It means mono-pitch (one frequency only) which is why the rising inflection by definition cannot be monotonous. But it can get repetitive. No speech is entirely a mono-tone, but as the tendency increases, the speaker becomes more tiring to listen to. Constant pitch modulation is the name of the game. If you want an example of someone moving toward monotony, you can't do better than Kym Gyngell, in his characterisation of Col'n Carpenter. The fewer times when he does depart from the flattish pitch adds to the emphasis and thus the comedy.

Hi mates. Glad to hear u are all learning Aussie accent. Well i have British modern RP accent

Without a doubt you are the best teacher I ever had for learning a Accent! and I wish 4 your future GooD Luck.... 👌❤🤫👍

Re Aussie politeness, we also say things like "give us a look" even though you're the only other person present and should be more like "give me a look". I think this is because it sounds more like an invitation to share with 'everyone', rather than an instruction.

You are so bloody fantastic❤ Now, i have finally understood when to use intonation ups and downs in sentence. 🎉 Thank you so much❤

I really enjoyed this explanation of the accent melody. I remember the first time years ago I heard an Aussie speak I thought how unique the upward lilt was. Aussie accents are just so fun and pleasant to listen to. :D

Hi Candice! TYSM for bringing up this topic :) I'll check another video to practice aussie accent. Have a good day -XOXO from Indonesia

Thanks a lot for the video Candice! I did find this really helpful. Subscribed, of course :)

English is not my first language, but I'm learning it since kindergarden. And it was so strange, since we were learning words in british, but talking in american (flat,lift etc.). So I had kind of mixed accent. But when I first time heard australian (H2O: just add water) I wanted to learn it. Plus, I really want to live and work in Australia as an actress. But I sound soo stupid talking aussie, it sounds like I'm mixing brit and american.😳

Thank you. It’s a big help. It is even harder for me sometimes. My mom is Australian and growing up in the US it was difficult for me. I picked up many of her pronunciations and had to relearn the american english. Something that I did pickup was the double 1 or double l while in america they say one one or L L spelling it out.. Do they still do that? I want go back to my roots and learn the correct accent. I am very proud of my Australian heritage. We go back about 8 generations mostly in the Queensland area.. My mom was from Winton. Thank you for a lovely video. Fraser

Whoa! 👻 This was the first time I ever commented on someone's channel and getting recognised for whatever I had asked in the previous video. Thank you so much for breaking down this part of the accent down I hope it'll open some new doorways to my learning. Can't be grateful enough. You do value the feedback of your audience and that's just amazing! Candice, you are such a darling. Big love! ♥️

4:03 That video... Thats legit the video I have already been using lol. Cuz Im trying to get sort of an accidental australian accent. Cuz at one point I was watching grian’s hermitcraft videos literally 24/7 for a couple days trying to catch up, and I sort of started sounding like grian, whom is brittish. It took awhile for that to wear off. Literally months. So now Im going to see if I can get that to happen again, only with the australian accent and hear australians speaking. And that video is legit perfect to try this with, as the dude speaking has a very strong australian accent. I watched it 2 or 3 times and it was already effecting my speech.

I don’t think that upward inflection is part of my speech, I remember the nuns knocking it out of us in school by teaching us how to read aloud and to speak correctly in general conversation. As the teacher says to Kim in the movie of the same name, “We don’t do that at St Xavier’s O’Hara!” News reporters also start many of their sentences with “now”, even when it doesn’t apply!

I think it's difficult for anyone to hear their own accent done badly. BUT! Don't let that discourage you. You have to be bad at an accent before you become 'good' at it. Anyone who can perform different accents perfectly, were 'bad' at it for a time. So practice as much as you can and use it anytime you like! Anyone who has a problem with it can go jump in the lake. And you can tell them that I said so! 😘

She is gorgeous! But if you want a TRUE rendition of what us Aussies sound like, WATCH THE BIG LEZ SHOW (if you can handle it. True blue Aussie speak)

I hear a lot of "Strain" here in S.E. Asia. Shortening words and adding "ie" at the end sounds a bit like baby-talk.

The aussie accent is a juxtaposition between cockney and Irish mostly. You can hear that rising inflection with the Irish, just not as extreme as the Australian accent.

That is the same as the Los Angeles/Valley girl upspeak! Interesting. I find the LA one super annoying but not the Aussie one for some reason? Maybe because I associate it with dumb valley girls? After watching this video, I started noticing this melody/inflection in a few other English speaking countries as well. I wonder what its origins are?

Afferbeck Lauder. Emma Chizzit ? (Get it ? alphabetical order, how much is it ? )

I'm italian 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm still laughing

the rising terminal … you don’t hear it as much, if at all, Victoria, SA or Tasmania. …. its a NSW and QLD thing. … which is 13/26 million people. im not sure about NT or WA

You know what you're talking about, congrats

Do you know that you particularly resemble Fiona Gubelmann from The Good Doctor ? Besides, thanks for these helpful tips

I think intonation depends on the emotion ^^

i have a question: do Australians get offended if someone is trying to speak with an Australian accent? (not in a funny / mocking way but genuinely trying to speak like). I am just curious because i am afraid to try it and people think i am trying to make fun of them even if i am not.

The "Question inflection" is a minority accent from one or 2 suburbs in Sydney. In 1988. And is largely an obtuse overly used urban myth that came out of Channel 9? comedy farce. (Only a handful of Sydney female children EVER used this "accent" .. decades ago. Leave it be!
