British Accent


Question Posted Friday August 25 2006, 7:13 pm

Does anyone have any tips they can lend me on using a British accent. Or if anything, some random words with the phonetic spelling. I'm in need of the help because I'm trying out for a musical version of Peter Pan, so the accent should be very light and innocent, not full on. Thank you!!

Hahaha i'm English, i'll help ya. Erm,,,,,,, just gimme some examples of what you have to say and i will tell you how to pronounce stuff.

For example with Peter, with an English accent you need more emphasis on the the e's and t.
ie peeter because Americans soften the t and put more emphasis on the -er ending.

Well, from what I remember from the movie when Wendy says "Peter!" she says it like "Pee-tah!" and whenever I try saying "British" outloud in a British accent, I don't really say the "t". I would suggest buying Peter Pan and listening to how Wendy or whatever character you're going for talk and try and practice to mimick it. I think [ at least Google says ] that there are different accents in differnt parts of British, so I have no clue the way I'm attempting it [ if I'm even successing at sounding British at all lol ] and they way you want it. So I suggest renting the movie and practicing it and trying to mimick it. I hope I helped. <3
