1
Well, people talk like very slowly because it's very hot down there and I think the whole idea...
2
From the South?
3
Yeah, alright.
4
Now can you do an American accent?
5
Not after my one experience doing it.
6
I did it for a TV thing and for some reason it came out incredibly low and incredibly slow.
7
British actors are famous for mastering American accents, but they don't always get it right.
8
From seriously convincing to hilariously terrible, these attempts prove that sounding American is harder than it looks.
9
You do Sylvester Stallone, don't you?
10
Uh, yeah, yeah, I do.
11
I like to do Sylvester Stallone as Hamlet.
12
Sylvester Stallone as Hamlet.
13
To be or not to be, whether it's nobler in the mind to shove the slings and arrows of outrageous support,
14
or to take a side winder helicopter and napalm an entire village.
15
I think everyone has an impression of Christopher Walken, because he's just such an easy kind of...
16
You know, I feel like what this show needs is more cowbell.
17
It depends on what you like me to say.
18
It is very clear that learning an American accent is no joke.
19
Many take years to master it completely, and some just don't get there at all, like James Corden, for instance.
20
But my main worry is it's the first time I've ever done an American accent, so I'm playing an American, and that is, that's filling me with some things.
21
Now when you say an American, that is not a preview...
22
That is not a preview of your American accent, is it?
23
Yes it was.
24
OK, we need to work on this.
25
All right, me lovelies, I'm an American.
26
That's it, isn't it?
27
Even the greats like Hugh Laurie struggle with some words.
28
He did eight seasons of Doctor House and still was afraid of saying this word.
29
There are a few.
30
Honestly, the one that makes my heart sink when I say it in a script surprisingly enough, is New York.
31
New York?
32
Yeah.
33
Really?
34
Well, you could say that.
35
I mean...
36
Um, I find it really...
37
I-and I-I often I'll reach a point where I go, could we-could we make it Manhattan?
38
Some English people have trouble saying this one.
39
Why do you-how do you say that?
40
Squirrel.
41
Well, that's fine.
42
How would you say that as an American?
43
Give me the American accent of that.
44
Oh, no. Come on.
45
Um, squirrel.
46
That's right!
47
Yeah?
48
One-one syllable.
49
Squirrel.
50
British actors have a long history in Hollywood.
51
They go there in search of better opportunities, but those chances are very limited if they can only do a British accent.
52
Okay, so I'm talking to you really fast, okay?
53
Okay, you gave me a clue.
54
I'm going to give you another clue.
55
They're very, very fast talking, and I played someone from here.
56
She was married to the ex-president. That place.
57
This one, it takes place on the subway.
58
Subway musician walks into E-Train with guitar and neck harmonica.
59
Passenger grabbing him by the wrist says, I will give you $20 out of my wallet to not do what you're about to do.
60
Next one is middle-aged guy in a bar.
61
Middle-aged guy in a bar.
62
Yeah, my oldest lives in LA.
63
He's one of those TikTok douchebags.
64
These mini games, where actors do different accents, are always a blast to watch.
65
Especially if they are horrible.
66
Tom Felton seems he got the hang of it.
67
Surely not from Harry Potter.
68
Okay, now I want to see if you can do a New Jersey accent.
69
Are you ready to hear Tom try the New Jersey accent?
70
What are you throwing me into?
71
What's on these cards?
72
Okay, here you go.
73
In a New Jersey accent.
74
Card number one.
75
Sup, baby?
76
Wanna smush?
77
All right.
78
Is that right?
79
Is it smush or smush?
80
Smush?
81
Smush?
82
I don't...
83
Okay, number two.
84
Alright.
85
Yo, dude, that chick's a grenade.
86
Kelly Clarkson also does this accent game on her show, and this, surprisingly, went very well.
87
Would you be willing to read the teeth to break in the accent of my choosing?
88
Okay, let's see how I do.
89
It's been a pleasure to have you watching this program on your telly.
90
Between bites of burgers and pizza, try not to change the channel.
91
Oh my god, Valley Girl!
92
Because it's like just a minute or two before we're back, that's gonna be like just so cool, you wouldn't believe it, I just can't even.
93
The Valley Girl accent originated in California in the 1970s, but got very popular with teenagers because of the film Clueless, which released in 1995.
94
To, um, Callie from the Valley.
95
Who's like this.. she's like this whole, like, situation.
96
That was amazing.
97
Wow, that's actually very good.
98
Thank you.
99
Yeah, we had, like, a really good time.
100
I got so close to, like, getting Jai to buy me, like, a $700 air conditioning unit.
101
I, like, got the guy to help me, he was freaking out.
102
It was awesome.
103
Did you base that on someone you know?
104
I like love Clueless.
105
Michael Caine has starred in only a few films where he had to do an American accent.
106
You would think that he's not good at it and you would be wrong.
107
He also does impressions, like this one of John Wayne.
108
Someone put up $100,000 for John Wayne to do To Be or Not To Be from Hamlet.
109
And John came up and they gave him a speech.
110
And he didn't know what it was, you know.
111
So he went, to be or not to be? That is the question.
112
Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer this length in our own? Who wrote this shit?
113
Some celebrities claim that they know how to do the accents, and yet fail miserably when they try.
114
Ricky Gervais did as Ricky usually does and made a mockery of the whole thing.
115
OK.
116
Most impression in 30 seconds, I'll just name names.
117
Ready?
118
Start the clock of Robert De Niro.
119
Oh, are you looking at me?
120
Stop the timer, stop the timer.
121
What?
122
That was good.
123
That was good.
124
No, stop the timer.
125
I'm going to let you try it again.
126
I'm going to let you start it again.
127
No. Oh, you're looking at me?
128
That's what he says.
129
That is what De Niro says.
130
No, he says, you're talking to me.
131
Yeah.
132
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
133
I'll be back.
134
Uh, Winston Churchill.
135
Oh, I'll fight them on the beaches, I will.
136
Kim Kardashian.
137
Oh, look at these!

140
Christopher Walken.
141
I shoved a clock up me arse!
142
When Hugh Grant and Matthew McConaughey were together promoting their film The Gentleman, they were asked to swap their lines from previous films.
143
As you can expect, it didn't disappoint.
144
The first one is Hugh's line from Love Actually.
145
Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, who do you have to screw around here to get a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit?
146
This line here, this is from Matthews.
147

152
Robert De Niro.
153
Yeah.
154
I gotta...
155
I gotta get some screws.
156
The Downton Abbey cast, Hugh, Michelle and Alan were asked to do a scene but with a twist.
157
All of the scene had to be in an American accent instead of British.
158
It may be harder than cashing Wavell's cheque, but does that mean we shouldn't try?
159
Oh, no. We will build.
160
We'll even make money for the estate, but we won't destroy what people love about this place.
161
Do you think that's wrong?
162
No, it's not wrong.
163
Hey, let's just forget about this.
164
Mary, who are you wearing?
165
Tom Holland is also able to switch between his accents.
166
He was hilariously pranked during a Spider-Man interview and was told to stop acting British.
167
Why are you pretending to be British for the interview?
168
I watched the preview of the movie and you were American.
169
Right.
170
No, but I am British.
171
How is that possible?
172
I just do an American accent when I play Spider-Man.
173
How is that possible?
174
Well, I just did it.
175
Apart from his acting, Tom Hiddleston is widely known for his vast amount of voices and impersonations he could do.
176
He did Al Pacino and De Niro in front of De Niro.
177
What if you do got me boxed in?
178
I'm not going to put you down.
179
Moving face to face.
180
Yeah.
181
But I will not hesitate
182
Not for a second So you never wanted a real attack life and and Bob may I call you Bob?
183
Bob says what's that barbecues and ball games?

185
And I said to him I said so wait how
186
and who are you playing cuz I'm playing F Scott Fitzgerald and I know Corey Stoll's playing on his Hemingway, and we're all playing figures of history and he went oh Oh no no no no,
187
I'm from now, I go back in time.
188
There's a time machine.
189
It's kind of cool and it's kind of woody and it's kind of awesome.
190
Before the popular series Bridgerton was created, Rage's first job was in America and he had to learn everything from scratch by himself.
191
My first job, we were shooting in Louisiana, in this country.
192
I was on plantations in Louisiana for three months shooting Roots in 2015.
193
Uh-huh.
194
And so I was doing South Carolina when I was in Roos.
195
And, like, I remember I learned to do that because I went and I ordered a coffee, and they were like, oh, my God, he black and he British!
196
Come over here!
197
Say strawberry!
198
Say banana!
199

200
I do say orange.
201
What do you mean?
202
Wait, do we have the same accent?
203
Well, no, because you're from England.

213
Hey buddy, can I get an order?
214
Can I get an order of mo- Hey buddy, can I get an order of mozzarella sticks please?
215
Hey buddy man, can I get an order of mozzarella sticks please?
216
Booyah.
217
Booyah.
218
Booyah.
219
Do you really say booyah?
220
I do, that's an American statement.
221
Really?
222
Okay, alright, I gotta learn that one.
223
Booyah.
224
Booyah.
225
What the hell are these places?
226
Are they restaurants?
227
Gerald Butler has a lot of experience with dialect coaches.
228
His natural accent is Scottish and that is hard to mask.
229
What you do is you work with a dialect coach and literally you sit and you run sounds.
230
So you'll be like, it's for your eye.
231
Because in Scotland we say bright light, we go eye.
232
So, you know in America they go bright light.
233
So you'll go it's a bright light on a fine night.
234
But the thing is there's the same rule for every accent and so I is a certain sound in America, and ooh for moon, and in Scotland we go moon.
235
Alice Eve lived in LA during her childhood because her parents moved there for work.
236

240
Yeah.
241
So what kind of, what stuff were you doing?
242
And you give me an idea of just, was your whole...
243
So just like, you just talk like that instead of talking like me.
244
That's weird.
245
You can just change like that.
246
Wow.
247
That's like peer pressure as a child that'll do that to you.
248
Gary Oldham is another one that can do good impressions, like we have seen with the De Niro one.
249
These actors who do a great job with accents are the ones that study the voice breakdown, including rhythm.
250
And if you've got Italian, New York, it sort of always goes down.
251
It's always like that.
252
It's a falling thing, you know?
253
Forget about it.
254
Where an Irishman might say, hey, forget about it.
255
I showed up early on, you know, sounding like Joe Pesci and sort of quite excited about doing a lot of Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and with a lot of hammer,

265
It's Fox conformity!

267
Matthew Rhys had a theory on why the British had more means to learn the American accents.
268
Although there are Americans who learn British accents, there are far more Brits that do it.
269
I do believe that the amount of American television we grew up watching, and as young kids going out into the yard to play Starsky
270
and Hutch or The A-Team or Airwolf or any of those, you know, kids growing up, Whereas kids in America don't go out to the school yard to play Downton Abbey, which is seemingly the only thing that...
271
I did.
272
Well, yes, of course.
273
I was taunted and beaten.
274
You were like, fetch me another pheasant, boy!
275
I wouldn't have got the part if I couldn't do a South Central accent somewhat.
276
So, like, I was infatuated with Deaf Comedy Jam when I was a kid.
277
Okay.
278
So I would learn, like, all different accents of the comedians.
279
And I would love, like, Boys in the Hood and all John Singleton's movies.
280
Yeah.
281
But Dub C really taught me just the essence of being a kid from L.A., you know, how to stand and how to walk.
282
He would always say, you know, you could say shit a certain way or you could say shit a certain way.
283
I lived in America for so long and I had played Americans.
284
I think my R's, my R became a little harder.
285
Jason Isaacs, or better known as Lucius Malfoy, spent some time teaching Jimmy how to do different accents like Liverpool and Manchester.
286
Of course, he needs much more practice.
287
What you may not know is in Britain, you open your mouth, everybody knows not only where you're from, but where you're from in terms of education, how you're trying to be perceived.
288
Because I've heard you in Liverpool, and what you're doing is the Beatles.
289
Now, the Beatles talk like that originally, but then the ones that sound like they came from California, so they started leaning back on it.
290
But that's not a Liverpool accent.
291
So let's start with Liverpool, where I can find it.
292
Liverpool, here we go.
293
One of the haute cuisine dishes you get is chicken and chips.
294
Can you do chicken and chips?
295
Chicken and chips.
296
Chicken and chips.
297
Chicken and chips.
298
Finally, we can say that it was a very good move for the British to go into Hollywood.
299
Nowadays we cannot go by without them.
300
The talent pool in the UK is so large.
301
The only actor with the skill and sense that he needed to carry off a New Yorker book in action, that would be Richard over there, right there.
302
Oh my goodness.
303
Pray silence.
304
Well, well, well.
305
Hi.
306
Sounded...
307
How are things?
308
How are things?
309
How are things?
310
Oh, that's interesting.
311
How a thing.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
