sound recording london
I have been working on a London accent for a few years now, and I have been posting recordings on here to try to get tips on how to make it more authentic. I posted a recording yesterday, and I have worked on the things you told me to, so here is another recording. I am sorry if I am getting annoying, but I am just looking for help. The first link is to the one I posted yesterday, and the second is to the one I recorded to day. If you could, please tell me if it now sounds better or worse, and why? I think it sounds a bit too posh now, what do you think? Any tips are appreciated!

You could get away with a generic British accent to an extent , I think people would probably think there was something wrong but not be able to put their finger on it . London and the surrounding area has several different accents and the only way you'll ever really get any off them would be to live here for a while . Try youtube for clips of Eastenders , cockney is harsh but also melodic and alot of it is in the context of what you are saying . Good luck .

No matter if in Iraq or other places. All people need respect.
Remeber Lennon sing: IMAGINE.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say,
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say,
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will be as one.

Mind the Gaps Please' which was a featured 6'x4' painting featured on the cover of Sounding a Mosaic, their latest record. The work dealt with the cultural gaps felt living in Canada, and the disjunct between the ideal and reality. 'Mind the Gaps' referring back to the unseen hand of british colonial past, and a direct reference to the london underground.
I have not heard of this before, but I am interested in the colonial period for both Canada and the U.S. If you have more info, I wouldlike to hear about it. Good luck!

Ok, so here it is. I recorded me speaking with my London accent, and lets just hope that the link worked this time!
I have been working on the accent for about 3 years. I want your honest opinions on how I can improve on it and make it sound more authentic. Please listen and tell me what you think. All I want is opinions on how to improve the accent. Do you think it is a decent attempt at a London accent, or is it absolutely beastly? Please give your honest opinion. I just need to know how to improve on the accent. Thank you for all your help! Cheers!

Ok, well IDK how I really learned. I watch Monty Python a lot, and I love Harry Potter and that sort of thing, but IDK. I have a few British relatives and friends, but it seems like the accent was just always there in the back of my head…. I wouldn't know how to teach it. Try talking with dark vowels. And try to concentrate the sound of your voice more toward the front of your mouth and lips, rather than how you speak "American" now with the sound in the middle of your mouth. Does that make any sence whatsoever?
well i'm not british, but many of my friends are. The accent I think doesn't sound like you lived there. But it doesn't sound like you are learning. It sounds like you have an accent and you are trying to hide it, but doing a pretty bad job, whinch is good, considering it is the opposite way around.
It's better than mine
BTW I love your vocabulary!!

Right, i'm looking for a recording studio to record at with my death metal band, we live in London and travelling dead far would be a problem but may be manageable. Anyway, we're looking for a studio that's relatively cheap £250-300/8 hour day and that has good sound engineers who can capture our music well. (We're not only going to record for a day by the way if you assumed)
Any ideas?
Dude do what Sabeth did, record it yourself. Thats exactly what they did, and the album started a revoltion called HEAVY METAL!!!!!!

I am planning to shoot debut low budget feature film in London in the summer of 2007 and am in need of the following. Can anyone help?
1 Scriptwriter.
1 Producer.
2 Camera operators.
1 Sound engineer.
1 Lighting director.
1 Production designer.
1 Costume designer.
1 Editor.
1 Production co-ordinator.
10 Production assistants.
The cast will be assembled at a later date prior to production.
I honestly believe that out there are individuals who are positive and committed enough for this project to work and as such I believe in the power of the internet to attract us all together.
Thanx.
I would even welcome with open arms those with low attention spans as at least they can make the tea and sandwiches, so you see everyone can play a part and will feel welcomed.
I have also made the decision that all those who are interested can email me through this forum.
We all are in need of love.
Not with that grammer I don't.
