If I i was from London, would you beleive me?

Author: admin  //  Category: 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 .

    You don't go Australian at all….more British, but I'm not an expert on their accents (the Brits)…you don't sound anything like the guy I speak to who lives in London, but for an American, I do think it's a job well done.

    Like Rikstir has said, it's generic, but pretty good.
