    As a South African Indian, when I am calm I talk Kiwi, when I talk normally I talk British, when I'm angry I talk Indian 😂

    Shoreh Aghdasloo, an Iranian actress often plays with a thick accent, and unique voice, and she is one of the more complex heroes in the Canadian shot TV Show, THE EXPANSE. She's been nominated for an Oscar as well, and she doesn't tramp down her accent too much in Star-Studded Hollywood stuff like HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG (With Jennifer Connolley, & Ben Kingsley) --- alibeit she plays a gruff terrorist in 24, so there is that..l

      Jy’s welkom! Happy to share, and always feel free to ask a question. If it has general appeal I can try work it into a video.

    2:10-2:24 - about accents - this is equally true, perhaps even more significant in the United Kingdom about the perceived intelligence of a person depending on his or her regional accent.

    This varies a lot with each individual. Some people lose their accents, other don't.

      That’s great! I am glad it’s working for you. It really depends who your audience is, I fin, some people love the accent, while some meet you with blank stares 🫣

    The trouble with having a South African accent AND surname, means that every conversation starts with "Who do you support in the rugby?" What I want to reply is "I'm Australian mate, and live in Victoria, and I don't watch rugby!" But I just say "Australia, of course!".

      @@ChristiInCanada Bonus that that movie also has broadway singer and Handsome Aussie Hugh Jackman, as the villain. But then again, that film was directed by South African Neill Blomkamp, playing around with various tropes and ideas of the genre. I just discovered your channel and have been enjoying your take on the Calgary/Canadian experience.

    Some of us are better at being *parrots.* I lost my Sarth Efrikin eksent rather quickly, and I cannot get it back. I sound like most English speakers from the western half of North America. Dis nou afgesien van die feit dat ek nog Vrystaat-Afrikaans kan praat, wat anders is as daardie Gautengse manier van proooht.
