- A fly-on-the-wall class - with a real-life student - with accent coach Matt Pocock on the New York/Brooklyn Accent. Learn how to do a New York or Brooklyn accent with the help of a clip from a real-life lesson.
This episode focuses on how the New York accent treats the 'R' sound. The New York/Brooklyn accent treats the 'R' very strangely depending on where it is placed - as many New York accents do. But the New York pronunciation is very similar to RP, making it especially easy to copy for those without an American accent.

Generic American accent: "Get out of my car"
New York accent: "Get the fuck out of my fucking car you fuck"
hahahaha
I read this in Joe Pesci's voice hahahah (i know hes from jersey)
British: get out me car
BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! 😂
@@apollo3623 you forgot its actually.
"Get out of me car you bloody wanka"
Best word to say in a brooklyn accent: Coffee. Seriously. Try it. It's so satisfying.
Rhianna - Photographer woa.
whoa, youre right. o.o
Khoaaffhee
cawfee, dawg, and haif (pronounced ai as in air) for coffee, dog and half...Three words that always give away my hometown. A Canadian friend of mine was horrified by the way I said "half" But I do pronounce the "Rs"
*when your a a Brooklynite and don’t hear your own accent* 🤔😳😅
Why is E.T in the background 😂
😂
Haha 😂
Fucking dead
I'm dead hahahahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta tell ya Matt, I grew up in Brooklyn in the 1950's/60's and to hear you speak of directors looking for a BROOKLYN accent really makes me laugh. All thru grammar, junior, and high schools they painstakingly tried to teach us proper annunciation and NOT to have an accent. So we could go anywhere and not be pegged as a Brooklynite. I've been away since 1987 and still get comments. You can take a kid outta the city, but ya can't take the city outta da kid.
So true. I’m 16 and I was born in Brooklyn but moved to Australia at 11. I thought after five years my accent had faded at least a bit but I met my boyfriends parents the other day and the second I spoke his dad said ‘your a Brooklyn kid aren’t you?’ 😂
I’m actually auditioning for the newsies and I need a Brooklyn accent for it. That’s why I came looking for this video
Dude what?
Libby Harris I’m in newsies tonight and my accent sucks
This was the most Brooklyny thing I’ve ever read.
It's funny that the missing "r" in British RP accent is considered posh/upscale, while the missing "r" in the New Yawk accent is often perceived as the opposite (more streetwise and working class, and even a bit gruff) when compared to standard American English.
That's so true.
Dat voice in da backround doh...
I know right? I keep thinking parrot or robot.
So creepy
Or

WEH WEH WEH
ikr annoying
My mom was born and raised in Brooklyn but she lost her accent in High School. Back in those days they prepared young women to be secretary's so they taught her to speak what was called radio or standard American English.
Yes!! That's what I'm saying. Teachers painstakingly tried to teach us to have NO accent. I left Brooklyn in 1987 and still get comments. Where'd your mom grow up and what high school?? I grew up in Bush Terminal section and went to John Jay HS many, many years ago.
MrBenbaruch but American accent’s are so bad
@@martyjewell5683 John Jay? I go there, well, to one of the four schools on the campus, and they don't say anything about our accents. The times really have changed
@@SonWsp, sweet! I graduated in 1968, did a stint in the navy and moved away in 1988, have lived upstate NY for the last thirty years. I miss youse guys. Everywhere we (wife and me) go someone pins my Brooklynese. San Francisco, Denver, Charlottesville you name it. Mainly, it's the way we pronounce certain words; coffee (cawfe) toilet (terlet) there (dere) and phrases; not for nothing, but... with all due respect... get outta here and best of all the word .. fuhgeddaboudit! Haven't been to Brooklyn since 2014. Had breakfast at Tom's Coney Island, lunch at The Three Jolly Pigeons, and dinner at New Corner's Restaurant. When I was a kid the subway cost 15 cents. A slice of pizza too.
@MrBenbaruch
I am sorry that your mom lost her accent
Girl: I'm in my mum's car vroom vroom
Mum: get out me car
Girl: awwwwww

Not all Brooklynites talk like Good Fellas it depends on the neighborhood, some of us sound more like Woody Allen or Bernie Sanders. Of course these are stereotypes and Brooklyn is such a big place that there are even more variations than those described.
Do Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump share an accent? :v
My halloween costume is donald trump
In Bay Ridge, we just speak loosely. I've heard people sometimes describe it as almost Boston, it's just being forceful on letters but loose about it.
afr malatesta I'm just speakin' from experience. And no... it's still Bay Ridge. Used to live on 72nd street, between 4th and 5th.
afr malatesta oh who cares
born in brooklyn raised in brooklyn and queen. this is bad so bad
It’s like an off English accent. I practice impressions and it just struck me that way. Great vid!
I think it's the R drop... It sounds like a rough working class London accent but much more monotone, English accents are usually very "sing-songy"
Girl in background sounds like that chick that andy dated in the office lmaooo
Jessica?
Extremely helpful, I kept trying to put the Italian inflection on it, but by the end of the video I got it down. Thank you very much!
The best thing I can say in this voice is “and then I stoited eatin goibage”
🤣🤣
What the hell is that?! Your student sounds like a robot
GlitchMercy I know right.
That's why their a student isn't it? Here for the same reason as you
😂😂
Maybe it's fake
Hahahahahaha
This is a rough impression of a New York accent. The R’s don’t make that much of an “aw” sound. But it’s def on the way towards accuracy👌
Our Mexican maid surprised us one day with a Brooklyn accent. After a few minutes of her kvetching about the schlemiels at the "stoh" everyone had a good laugh. "Rosita darling," my mother said... "when the hell did you start talking like that?" Rosita smiled and then she told us, "All last week I was listening to early Streisand albums."
My dad was from Malta and grew up in the UK. he had a British accent. I picked up a NYC Manhattan Little Italy accent. It's difficult for me to get rid of it. But, it's not as bad as the Brooklyn accent is. My accent is good if I was an actor for specific roles I've been told. I like to be able and clean it up with a better accent and keep the Italian accent when I want to use it. Cause, In some ways it works wonders in certain situations.
I was once directed in a broad NY accent to, "head down to the park on Carmine, then turn right, right?" I got her to say it at least three times and I have been trying to recreate it for the last 20 years... Still working on it!
When I learned how to speak like a new yorkian first sentence I said is "AY IM WALKING HERE"
WAIT ME TO LOL
My first phrase was “THIS IS NEW YORK” cause my older brother used to say it EVERY TIME we passed the mini New York section @ Universal Studio’s Hollywood
''Ey! I'm walkin' heh!''
watch all the ROCKY EPISODES, you'll sound like a real italian
I am from New York, and this is mostly accurate, but, try to make it sound more natural, and, it kinda sounds British. Nice work though!
I watched a guy who thinks he can do a general American accent do a stereotypical version that sounds...fake, like a robot or an alien...and he taught a Brooklyn gal how to do it. And he spoke about it like he was an actual real human being using the Brooklyn accent in a real manner, not a crazy angry way. And it was genuinely interesting to watch him teach her how to make this accent. Very real, liked it a lot, learned a lot about accents and how people perceive them and teach them. Thanks.
You wanna do a New York accent this will help... hopefully
Park-> pak
Nurse->Nuhse
Water-> Watta
Fear-> Feah
Hope that helped luvs
Water is more like Wuhtta
Watta is so off
Yeah, water is more like wadda. Also coffee (cawfee), girl (goil), bird (boid), toilet (terlet) and lets not forget thirty third and third (toity toid and toid), fuhgeddaboudit.
Nope. Wrong.
I wanna sound like Jordan from wolf of wall street
I wanna sound like Naomi from the wolf of Wall Street 😂
He’s from la tho😂
Sophie Mordecai no hes not are you dumb
The Boston accent is one of my favourites in the world and I have such trouble with it! As an Aussie I thought I'd find it easy as we drop our Rs also but nope. I struggle with it! It's so unique.
Ok but this accent is so clean and satisfying. Keep it alive
Im from switzerland.. its so interesting to hear your dialects in usa😍👏🏻
She’s such a great student!! She picked stuff up so quickly
Thank you so much for this video! I want to sing more songs from Newsies (the musical takes place in New York) and your advice was super helpful!
Thank you again so much!
IM ALSO HERE BECAUSE OF NEWSIES!! I have a jack kelly cosplay and im tryna get the accent down lol 😅
Thanks dude. This really helps me a lot!
Wow, I know this video is a bit old, but awesome skills. I love to see people doing stuff like this, wishing you continued success
This was really helpful, I'm not fully there yet with the accent but this was great!
Glad you like it, Mr. Cheese! There'll be a few more of these vids so hopefully we'll be able to get you closer :)
+Matt Pocock I used to live there and got used to the accent i got the hang of it, but ever since I left there and went to a southern state it faded off... And I sound more English ish- 😂
I am looking for someone who speaks with this accent. give me their youtube channel please.
This is sooooo useful! Thank you❤
Need this for a reoccurring role in a tv show, thanks so much!!
Ooo,...... you're good. I actually understand you better when you speak it. Now that's crazy !
I have the natural accent, (so I am told by my now southern neighbors) thanks to my Nassau County upbringing , with a father and mother who reigned from Brooklyn. Mom was always trying to lighten it up, trying to be 'upper class', whereas, Dad couldn't give a rat's cheeseballs.
I give you an A for effort...but being a native New Yorker it is very apparent you are not from here. Doesn't sound natural. Keep trying!
I read your comment in a New York accent
Eugene, if he's not doing it right, then do a video and show us how _to_ do it right would you?
Eugene Romano *I give you an R 😸*
Eugene Romano: Agreed. I like his Scottish, Irish, General English (RP), Posh English, Cockney English, & General American accents (very believable), but this one falls way short...sounds like a put-on; like some Californian trying to be so street.
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!
that voice in the background though...
Him: this new york "aw"
The voice: "ahh"
H: you're in my car
T.v: Your in my car...stay...
🤓🤓
This made my New York accent go from a 2 to a 6 or 7 thank you!
What you're trying to do is the 1950's Brooklyn/SI accent. Nobody really talks like this here anymore, only a few older people.
I can't really explain what the Brooklyn accent sounds like nowadays in text, because first it's text and two I'm too used to hearing it/speaking it.
All I can say is it's nowhere near as exaggerated as you do. I'll give it to ya, you do an excellent impression of what you hear in NYC movies from the 50's-70's, but this is nothing like people speak here nowadays. Best way to figure it out is walk through deeper Brooklyn like Sheepshead Bay, Flatbush, Midwood, etc, you'll hear it a lot.
To be fair, it's a lot easier to learn a more intense accent than slow it down to a more natural pace once you have the basics.
I wanna to know how to sound like Joe Gatto or Sal Vulcano, from Impractical Jokers. What would you call their accents?
a little old now but whats important is that you are kind of toeing the line between boston and NY accents, two VERY different ones. its the ah vs the ar i guess if that makes sense. its also the italian/irish thing. irish in boston pahk the cah, italian in NY park the car (with emphasis on the Rs. i think very good though in general.
insteresting video, greetings from Argentina, I like this kind of accent.
This is a nice video! Do you have any tips for vowel modifications for SINGING in a New York accent? :)
This voice told me alot thanks
Matt i definetly need you doimg another scottish accent session
I’m not sure if Cindi Lauper has a Brooklyn accent because she moved to Queens at age five. I would still recommend listening to her speaking. And also the movie The Lords of Flatbush.
I like this!
Superb Coaching! You stand among the BEST in your Vocation!
I'd love to visit Brooklyn because I heard it's the only place left where you can find Checker cabs. I've never seen one myself and would love to.
I was looking to learn the brooklyn accent, I wasn't expecting to be thought that by the same guy who teaches me typescript. Gotta tell ya, I'm very supprised.
good fun,thanks for sharing
I grew up in New York. Some of the sounds are right, some are not. It’s a mishmash of working-class New York and various other sounds. What little General American you did, though, was pretty convincing.
My name is Brooklyn.
Of course I gotta learn this. XD
huh
Yo same
Have to be honest Matt, not for "nuttin" (nothing), this is a good "effit" (effort). Definitely see solid hints of my own speech sprinkled in with your examples. Keywords - SOLID HINTS.
Thank you very helpful
I'm from Brooklyn and never spoke with a Brooklyn accent; its probably because I worked in a professional environment as a secretary 🎉. You needed some class.
Me and the lads in work mess about doing this accent (we're limeys btw) because.. I dunno.. It's from the movies and it feels good I suppose. And it relieves stress. Good vid, mate.
lol I originally have a New York accent, I was watching Son of Sam documentary and noticed adults and teenagers from the 70 - 80's that they showed talking to the police or in interviews talked the same way that I talked and they were all from New York.
im from new york and you're suuuper close tbh. it seems slightly more nasally than how people where i live speak! very close though!!!! (still gonna thumbs up because its fairly close and it was fun to watch)
working on this for acting, thank you :)
He's on point lol
I am an Australian-based writer of crime fiction. In the novel I'm working on right now, I have a character from Brooklyn, living in Australia. He pronounces ‘murder’ as ‘murdah’ and ‘sister’ as ‘sistah’. Do you think that is a correct rendition of a Brooklyn accent?
Yup, what's the book
dude your great.
yea he is
It’s so easy but it stands out so much that I don’t do my R’s too loose
I need longer vids😩
Dat was great. Tank yooz, from de bawdm o my huawt. God blesh yooz two.
lol this is fun. Oh I'm from Arkansas/ North Carolina
very old style. like if he was born in 1905-1935. also a distinctive jamaica bay accent like he grew up in a poor irish/jewish neighborhood
i probably shouldn’t be trying this since I’m from Asia but I REALLY WANNA TRY
English actors like christian bale i was surprised he was british and i have no idea how he managed to get the American accent down so well! i recently met an american from new york on an UK bus yesterday afternoon and i was thinking in my mind what accent it was, 1st approach chicago, no way in hell florida lol, but when i asked her about her accent she said she was from new york and i suspected that, i think i am good at observing the accents very well 💪💪
It sounds like ..... E.T

I just wanna clarify almost nobody in Brooklyn has an accent anymore, only the og's
Yeah my dad has a great accent and I have a London one 😂😂
You're good, buddy!
this is the only accent in America that I struggled with and still to this day.
Moonstruck much?? This was so educational! 🤩
Matt- my son has an audition and could really do with some help with a Brooklyn accent. You mention zoom calls. How do I arrange one urgently
I have to audition for newsies so thank you for this video
I'M WALKING HERE!
I I have to do this for music class
As a newyorker I can’t picture anyone having trouble getting this accent down. Lol I never noticed we had an accent until my first trip to ATL & Moving to AZ
I look like a dying goldfish trying to do this accent if I record myself and mute the video 😂
Sounds more like a Boston accent
Boston has a rough, short, monotone accent. Like JFK., or Cliff on Cheers.
Bostoners say "BAston" where a NY'er will say "Bawston"".
They also say "Tack ....NY'er says "Tawk"
Boston- "cAffee" Ny- cawfee"
In fact, they almost sound Canadian.......lol
It sounds like London accent to me!
@@arabiyyah7965 obviously never been to london
@@D5BikeLife I'm not an expert lol! But I've heard a lot of Londoners on RUclips, so I thought this accent sounds similar to their accent! And yes, I've never been to the UK!
As used to do accents in drama in high school or acting class.
I find the American accent pretty easy. . Its the south Africa accent that is difficult. Also the British accent is pretty easy also - although I am British. I think the hardest accent is the scottish accent. It depends on your acting abilities 😛.
He sounds like Jeremy Jordan playing Jack Kelly and I’m screaming
I’m from Brooklyn & this accent is not accurate in my opinion 🤨
Tiara Chanel this for white people or old Italian
@@nyclee9133 Even old white italians don't talk like this
then you make a video showing us how to do it 😐
@@yomama4025 stfu.
I’m doing this for Newsies!
You don't want to drop the "r" all together or you wind up with New York's arch-rival: Bahston where you go "Pahk the Cah in Hahvahd Yahd"
GrVaduates, Take a Vright turn. That is so cool
wow!
doing newsies this summer i need to learn this lol
I’m playing Miss Forsythe in Death of a Salesman at my theatre and I have to do a New York accent. I’m so nervous ugh!
He may think he's doing a Brooklyn accent but it sounds like a strange hybrid between Bensonhurst and Southie (South Boston).
Some dude was trash talking me and he said I had a nice “fake Brooklyn accent” I sound nothing like this
Actor who kept his Brooklyn accent.. Tony Danza! 💪🏼
I need a coach ASAP! I have an audition Sunday, June 6. How can I book you?
