1
Welcome everybody to the Actors Academy.
2
So today we're going to be talking about how to do the American accent.
3
And specifically this is going to be how to do a general American accent.
4
That's how we have to specifically categorize this topic.
5
Because there are a lot of different, you may call them accents or dialects, whatever wording you like to use.
6
People will interchange them differently.
7
But if you're from New York or you're from Texas or you're from California, you're going to sound a little bit different depending on where you're from.
8
Today though we're going to be talking about the general American accent.
9
This is what people think of most when they think of the American accent.
10
This is when you're going and you're watching movies and you're hearing an American.
11
This is what you're usually hearing.
12
So that's why we call this the general American accent.
13
So the first sound that we're going to be starting with are the R sounds.
14
And words like car, bar, far.
15
We have a strong R sound.
16
Far, car, bar.
17
Whereas with a British accent, you might go car.
18
Where's the car at?
19
Or the bar.
20
You want to go and hit those R's hard.
21
Car, bar, far.
22
You're hearing those R sounds.
23
But now, if you go overboard with this, of course it's going to sound a little bit weird.
24
Car, bar, far.
25
You're just going to sound weird.
26
With any accent that you're learning, you can go too far.
27
You can always bring it back a little bit, but it's always very easy to go too far, especially when you're first learning.
28
When you're learning that first, go ahead and make those mistakes.
29
That's fine.
30
But bring it back.
31
Don't just keep going car, bar, far.
32
You have to roll into those R's car, bar, far.
33
Some people think it helps to think about the R sound being a little bit more back in the throat.
34
If that helps you, you can use that.
35
But really, hear the sounds.
36
Car, bar, far.
37
You're basically saying car, and then you're hearing that R sound.
38
As if you're just saying R.
39
Car, far, bar and then when you don't have those weird pauses like I'm doing, it'll sound like car, far, and bar.
40
Same is going to go with our ER sounds.
41
So with ER in words, say like better, or father, or mother, we have those ER sounds.
42
Father, mother, better.
43
With the American accent, you hear those R's.
44
It's something that you're going to really notice when it comes to the American accent.
45
So it'll be father, mother, not father, mother, ER.
46
We hear those R sounds in there, father, mother.
47
So if you can get those R's, that'll really start to help you sound a little bit more American because we're really strong when it comes to those R's.
48
Again, you can go overboard, though.
49
You can go mother, father, better, and that will make you sound like a really weird person.
50
So if you want to avoid sounding weird and you just want to sound normal, tone it back a little bit.
51
As you're learning these accents and as you're going through, you can decide how strong you want to go, how soft you want to go because you can, you have that ability.
52
There are some people who are stronger with their Rs and there are some people here who are lighter with their Rs.
53
But in general, you're still gonna hear those Rs in there, whether that be with ARs or ERs.
54
So now we're going to be talking about the medial Ts and words like say little.
55
When we say little here in America, we change our Ts into Ds.
56
If you're a British speaker, there are two things that you would do with those Ts.
57
Sometimes you may leave the Ts out.
58
You may go little, you may not even hear the Ts.
59
Or you go a little bit stronger with the Ts and you go little.
60
But in America here, what we do is we change those Ts into to d's, little.
61
This of course is not going to apply to all words because there are words that will not change those sounds,
62
but for the most part medial t's are going to be changing from t's into d's.
63
That's what you're going to be getting most of.
64
So the next one we're going to be talking about are the words the and the.
65
You spell them the same way but we say them differently depending on the context of what we're talking in.
66
Sometimes we may say the animal or sometimes we may say the park.
67
When do we use the, when do we use the?
68
A good rule of thumb that will really help you with this is thinking the.
69
We say the when we have a vowel come afterwards.
70
So the animal because a comes next.
71
Or as we have a consonant comes next, then it will be the.
72
So for example, the park.
73
So anytime you're trying to find out when to use the or when to use the, this is the process you have to go through.
74
If we say the park, it sounds a little bit weird.
75
Where like the park, it doesn't sound right in our ears when we hear it.
76
So if you're trying to have an American accent and you say, where is the park?
77
People are going to be like, what?
78
The park?
79
No, it's the park.
80
Where is the park?
81
The same could also be said a little bit for the word the animal.
82
You could go and say the animal.
83
It's not as weird, but most likely you're gonna hear us say the animal because it flows more, it rolls off the tongue.
84
So a general rule of thumb is make sure if a vowel comes next, you say the.
85
If a consonant comes next, you say the.
86
So I hope this all makes sense for you guys.
87
This is a really quick video in order to have an American accent fast.
88
I hope you guys liked this video.
89
Make sure you subscribe to the channel so you can be up to date with everything.
90
There's always new videos coming out every single week.
91
If you're an actor, this channel really helps you out because if you have different accents, this is, I believe it's our fourth one that we've now put out.
92
When it comes to accents, the more tools that you have in your pocket, your arsenal when you're an actor, the better that you have a chance of maybe booking a part.
93
So hey, if you can do four different accents, well, there may be a role one day where you have to have a different accent
94
and you can audition for that part.
95
If you just wanna learn an accent for fun and you're not trying to be an actor, just want to know accents well then this is also great for you too.
96
I'm also going to be leaving our 10 hour acting master class down in the comment section
97
and in the description if you're interested in that if you're an actor and I'll see you guys all next time.
98
Thank you guys.
99
Bye Thank
100
you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
