Frank Sinatra had perfect diction when singing. Speaking, he had a strong Hoboken accent. He consciously trained himself to eliminate his accent when singing

I remember when The Beatles first came to the U.S. in '64. Yeah, it was weird. In the movie A Hard Day's Night, when just speaking, they had a thick accent (from my perspective), not to mention a different dialect vocabulary. But when singing, they could pass for Americans.

My mother said often people would hide their accent, but that didn’t make sense to me because they never hid their Liverpool accent when speaking to reporters. They did not seem embarrassed in any way about where they came from. But now that I hear this I think in a way my mother may have been into something. It may have been both the fact they were mimicking the tone that those who inspired them had or it’s because it was easier to sing. I believe that’s how they would sing some of their songs in German for the audience. They sang sounds instead of words. Either way, whenever I hear that accent I know someone’s from Liverpool.

@@OnceAndFutureKing As a non native speaker, I find it very interesting how I relate to English accents. I've been taught RP in school. That's probably the hardest to learn for an Italian. Thinking back at the time, many of us were butchering English - or so we thought. Much later I've learned that our pronunciation was closer to some northern accents. I can't hear a mild scottish accent (unless I'm looking for specific markers on purpose), it's more familiar to ma than other accents. In a way, the Australian accent is also familiar. BTW not the thick ones, and anyway it's mostly a matter of words (meaning, it's more a dialect than an accent). OTOH overall I seem to understand an average American better than an average Brit. But I'm very surprised when I see an American having trouble in understanding some northern British accents - I'm not a native speaker, I've never lived there, nor I have any reason to be familar with them, my language is no relative of English, yet I seem to understand those accents better than a native speaker of English. At the same time, some southern American accents are most obscure to me. I love their musicality but I can't understand a word, while it seems not to bother much other Americans (I'm not sure how Brits react to those). Think of McConaughey's accent in the 1st season of True Detectives.

That's funny, I've been singin' that song since it came-out in 1982, and never realized I was singin' it like them---IOW, with a British accent (I'm American); but, one is forced to because, for instance, he pronounces "better", "betta"!!!

Elton John is very fond of New Orleans' unique style of Blues, he grew up listening to that and some other american rock-'n'-rollers. That's why he switches to a more southern american in some of his songs. Sometimes, he's also done it only to make it sound better and fit more gently in the song's metrics. For instance, in "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on me" when Elton sings "don't discard me (...)", He does it in a very american accent 'cause he thought it'd fit better.

I remember reading an interview with either John Lennon or Paul McCartney where they said they loved Motown in their early years and attempted to copy that accent. Sting said in an interview back in the 1980's that he had intentionally tried to make a unique accent all his own. As a Canadian I am well aware when Canadian singers sound Canadian, like Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell or the Barenaked Ladies as opposed to many Canadian Country singers who intentionally copy American accents. Look at the Proclaimers, surely no one could sound more Scottish when they sing compared to Rod Stewart for example. Love your videos!

Rod Stewart was born and grew up in London. His father was Scottish but his mother was a Londoner. I don't think he ever lived in Scotland.

The one I think about most is Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, because when he sings softly his accent is very present, but when he goes full throttle it totally disappears. "Over the Hills and Far Away" is an excellent example of that. This is opposed to other British Invasion singers like Roger Daltrey and Mick Jagger. Roger's accent disappears entirely no matter what (listen to Behind Blue Eyes), but Mick ALWAYS has his accent on whether he's singing soft or not (Ruby Tuesday vs Sympathy for the Devil)

I was surprised that there was no mention of the “Transatlantic Accent” and it’s place as the “correct” showbiz accent used in the plays and films and musicals of the first half of the 20th century (despite the fact it wasn’t naturally spoken by anybody). I would’ve thought the perception of the correct/classy accent had a major impact on how singing is taught in the west.

it never was truly the "correct" stage accent it was basically left up to the individual actor whether they chose to adopt it or not but by the late forties it was pretty much gone just like the fashion trend of everybody wearing hats all the time. american rock n' roll was basically the foundation of modern music as we know it and that started early 50's so the trend was basically dead by then plus that 'ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK' would've sounded ridiculous in a mid atlantic accent.

The part about vowels doing a large part in defining an accent is spot on. Back in my radio days, the production director at one station I was at figured out that my family originally came to California from Wisconsin based on how I pronounce the word "milk". I use an "e" sound instead of an "i", so it sounds like "melk".

I've been curious about this for so long. Thanks Beth :)

It’s also fun to hear West End stars perform on Broadway because they generally sound completely different as they have to mask their “British” accent most times.

Saw Paul McCartney asked why The Beatles sounded "American" when singing. He answered that all of their favorite songs and favorite singers were American and they came up originally as a coverband in clubs. Their influences were American, so they developed an American sounding style of singing. .

I look forward to this. It will be interesting.

Very interesting! Excellent video! This is something I’ve often wondered about. I think you can even take this further. Some people when they travel abroad to a country where they don’t know the language start imitating the sounds of that language when speaking their own. It can happen without thinking. I think that gets back to the point re seeking of acceptance and understanding from others. Oh, and you look absolutely amazing as usual! (like a Scottish Ann Margret). So irresistibly cute, so positive and upbeat, and soooo smart. A winning combination!

I never realised I was changing my accent when singing till a friend told me I sounded like Layne Staley. A whole bunch of recordings later, I realised I did sound very American while singing. But I grew up listening to American rock bands or British rock bands that sang like Americans so it's not surprising.

Thank you, Beth. I have always wondered why UK, or even a Dutch band (Golden Earring) sounded so "American." Then again, it seemed odd that a San Fransisco band (Creedence) sounded so US Southern. Or the obviously British voice of The Beatles contrasts with the more blues influenced voice of the Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger, who could do American accents from Southern to New England).

Good question.

I agree. All of the elements you described definitely were different when we'd do songs in other languages in college choir, like the Sephardic Spanish of Por Que Llorax Blanca Niña.

Thank you for the the explanation. As a child I noticed the accents disappearing while listening to music with my dad who was a bid fan of the British invasion of the seventies and eighties, and I always wondered why that happened.

I think a lot of what you say applies to German and how it's thought to be a very harsh language just rrrrrrrrrrolling with all the rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, as Till Lindeman from Rammstein does when singing. But when he speaks in his normal voice, you don't hear that at all. The rrrrrrrrrrolling R comes from something called "Bühnendeutsch", which as those operatic Italian vowels you mentioned is used to project voice clearly in a theatre setting. No German would ever dream of speaking that way (aside from some local accents which do have a rolling R). I guess when English speaking actors were trained to play the bad German Nazi guys in WWII films, they were trained by people who taught them Bühnendeutsch, or used it to indicate the use a foreign language while still speaking English. Many Germans can't even roll an R to save their lives.

I love your sessions, and this one in particular. As an American who used to sing Japanese and Korean songs, I approached them from a linguistics basis, dinging phonetically as I didn’t always understand all of the words. In Japan I was told that I spoke with a Tokyo accent. In singing, my “accent” would vary depending if I was singing enka (a more traditional song, done of which might be considered similar to folk songs) but sang in a more normal tone for J-pop songs. For Korean songs, the challenge was mostly about vowel sounds that would be unusual for English speakers, such as the long u followed by an “l”. An American would say “pool” with a flat tongue hitting the roof of the mouth at the end of the word fairly far forward in the mouth. That “ool” sound in many Korean words has the tongue more curved and hitting the roof of the mouth further back, giving quite a different sound.

U R awesome!

Bjork and Aurora don't surrender a syllable to anyone or anything. I think they operate on the same position I take. "I don't have an accent! Everybody else does."

Beth is gorgeous!

Missy Higgins is well known for singing pop in an Australian accent. And I’m sure most western millennials will remember Sophie Ellis Bextor’s Murder on the Dancefloor (man that song was a banger), in her native English accent. Those are the two that first popped into my mind.

Hilltop Hoods are an example of artists defying the norm and using their own accent in their music. Rap in an Australian Accent goes against what’s considered “right” but their sound really works and they don’t try to affect an American accent

Never thought someone can have this question but yeah, a good one! As a hungarian I often realise that even if I just speak in German or in English my voice stucture changes, because of the rithm of the language, so does the tone of my voice and the volume is another. I also sing different in different languages. My accent seems American english to people, but it truly desappears when I am singing, that Is for sure! Thanks!

Once, I was at an friend's place with a few people. I was the only francophone and everyone else spoke Canadian English (they were Acadians, from New-Brunswick). Needless to say everyone kinda made fun of my accent when speaking. We were around a bonfire in his backyard and I pulled my guitar out and started to play. I barely started singing before my friend asked me to stop. He told the others that he thought my accent was completely gone while singing and I started the song over and at the end the others agreed. I always thought it was curious and this video made me remember this moment and now I understand why people kinda lose their accents when singing.

So I heard it was cause of he influence of popular American music. I am 60 years old, raised in South Texas, and I could only sound British when singing “Enerie” the 8th by the Herman’s Hermits.

I’ve noticed that Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol) keeps his Northern Irish accent when singing. And I’ve also heard Dermot Kennedy’s Irish accent come through ☺️

I remember hearing Shirley Manson's accent for the first time. That is quite a strong Scottish accent, and yet totally non-existent in her singing. Gorgeous voice in either situation though.

Ray Davies (The Kinks) doesn't change accents. He could sing "Great Balls of Fire" on the Fourth of July in a Memphis juke joint, and he'd still sound British.

Fish of Marillion sang with his native accent which deffo gives the band more character imho!

Beth, love your analysises as always being a fellow Scot, one of my favourite female singers is Alyson Moyet, I think you would love her voice as much as I do , check out "The First time Ever I Saw Your Face", absolutely fabulous, take care sweetie.

Most of my examples for singers who almost exclusively sing in their native accent you used, but I would also add Sophie Ellis-Bextor. She almost never loses her well spoken southern English accent when she sings, and it's one of the reasons I enjoy her voice so much. Quite the contrast to Lily Allen another singer I like who is also from South England but has a thick cockney accent that she sings in.

Beth, you should check out the track "Dead City" by The Twilight Sad. Their lead vocalist James Graham is from Central Scotland and he keeps his fairly broad accent throughout.

Georgia Maq! I love how she still has her accent even when she's belting stuff out. There's a few other Australian singers at the moment who also keep their accent but they're generally more speak-singy than Georgia

The best example for singing style contradicting expectations might be Rammstein. Even for german measures their style has a very harsh and opera-like tone used in very rhythmic rock/metal music, and I think this is why they are loved internationally: it simply fits well into this american derived style of music and gives a new layer of heavyness that others could never achieve without this tone. To clear my background, I am not even a big fan of them, but I respect them for their unique style.

Try Rhiannon Gibbons “Wayfaring Stranger”. African-American-Scots-Irish-Southern US. The accent is all over the place. It works.
