- Dialect coach Erik Singer once again takes a look at idiolects, better known as the specific way one individual speaks. Did Rami Malek do a good job speaking through prosthetics to become Freddie Mercury? How accurate was Jennifer Lawrence's Long Island accent in Joy? Did Christian Bale nail former Vice President Dick Cheney?

This guy makes me feel like I'm doing my own accent wrong
I'm Indian. I was taught British English in school but watched a lot of Hollywood which was obviously not very British. I doubt every word I say sometimes. It's hard to stay neutral.
@@vividfleurdelis maybe just speak English in your own dialect accent. English in Indian accent like. Though I also struggle trying to do that when I'm a Malaysian that watches a lot of RUclips and American RUclipsrs.
There is no Wrong accent, every voice is unique. When you imitate something that is when it becomes about knowing the complexities of nuance, Erik is a Master of dissecting the subtle differences of speech patterns. I'd be highly curious to know what he could tell me about the sound my own voice.
@@vividfleurdelis SAME BRUV!!
Everyone asks me if I'm NRI or not just cause my accent is so different!
@@vividfleurdelis same except I'm Sri Lankan and I moved to California so it was beneficial.
Just give this guy a whole netflix series doing these breakdowns.
That would give real accent to Netflix.
...
I'll shut the door.
I know, right? He wouldn't exactly run out of material for a show like this.
10/10, would binge.
@@1980rlquinn and double binge
I think it would also be really cool if we could see him coaching an actor behind the scenes so we can see the transformation and process over that 6 months or so it takes to get there.
I want him to just listen to me talk and explain exactly why I sound the way i do
Oh me, too. I can kind of guess, but I'm curious what he'd say
“5:15” “I got a baby on the way!”
The actor delivering the line, playing his father, is referring to himself being born.
wow no waaaaay
Yeah and it’s weird because he’s there with his girlfriend who is supposed to be his mom

"I wanna talk about something basic, rhoticity."...
Me: yeah, rotisserie.
Naseem Rehman omg i legit just laughed out load
Somewhere in there, I think I heard something about "egg salad" also
😂😂
LOL
im wheezingg
Normal people: "nah they sound nothing alike"
Erik : "they took an artistic choice"
Gary Oldman is a magician. He's played so many varieties of characters with such a variety of accents to near perfection. Surely he's at least in the top five best actors that have ever lived.
The only man that can professionally ask “what that tongue do?”
DiorLamour this comment is so underrated 😂
im a speech therapist does it count for me too?
touch everywhere he tells you to

"Ice Cube and his son are both fronting"
Whoa. You got balls, son.

Also me: yess exactly Jennifer Lawrence’s velopharyngeal port wasn’t open enough
@topple be polite
😂😂😂
topple who made you this pressed ... JeSuS
op is ME
op is Jesus.
When you give a linguist a shiver, you know you did something right.
Plot twist:
He is voice-acting in this video. We'll never know what his voice is truly like.🤣
If I had this guy’s skill, I probably couldn’t functionally watch a movie
Yea. I don't have his skill BUT I went to film school and I can safely say that it's difficult to watch a movie without analyzing every single shot. I subconsciously look for things out of place like markers, boom in the shot, c stands, reflections, etc. It's really annoying.
It's the problem of knowledge in any field. Doctors mock medical dramas and so on. I play music so that stuff usually bugs me when they obviously fake it.
And every recording I hear gets immediately separated into instruments in my mind. It can be tough to turn it off and just enjoy things.
@@Kidzelda0 completely agree especially about being a musician and having the ear to split the sounds/instruments in to like separate channels lol
@@Kidzelda0 It's true...My Wife rolls her eyes at Med dramas, my sister at court room dramas, my Dad laughed at "Backdraft", my FIL laughed at "Top Gun" I have issues with restaurant films....I don't think any film maker ever gets it completely right.

Caroline Richardson It happened to me to! The video is 25 minutes long, but I read this comment in the exact same moment, so weird
😂😂😂
In the 1970s I used to listen to KGO radio, San Francisco, who would have a linguist to take calls and guess the origin of the caller. It was amazing that sometimes he would deduce the neighbourhood of a specific city by a single word.
Grandpa was stationed in sf in the 70s (airforce) and he mentioned this once!
Wow! So cool!!!
Amazing!!!
That would be fun to listen to!
That sounds like fun.
fun fact: after bohemian, rami has a sort of lisp with his 's' sounds now.
Mr Singer even noticed that Freddie has a bit of East Indian in some of his "s" sounds since he's part indian and lived in Bombay until he was 8
Got me sitting here making S sounds at 2:45 am dude tf
Rach only S sounds?!
Lmfao me too
@@snowfloofcathug no I was doing it all but wrote this as I was doing the "S" 😂
6:46 for me but same sitch lmao
😂 relatable content right there
I can hear him talking about languages and dialect all day long let alone 25 minutes.
Erik's the embodiment of a "man of culture" -- Understands more languages than I have fingers.
I'm with you. I find him riveting, Love Erik.
Wait that was 25 minutes? I didn't even notice
@Joe Verdy Just under his name? Is it in video desc.
His accent is so smooth.
i never realized how perfect claire foy’s accent was
Gary Oldman is genius as Churchill.
Erik is absolutely brilliant explaining various dialectical nuances.

Nana42 it’s just twooo crazy😂
I know Freddie Mercury was one of the main charterers in Bohemian Rhapsody but Joe Mazzello, who played John Deacon in the movie, is also American and had to put on a British accent for the role.
I have loved languages as long as I can remember, and watching Mr. Singer makes me wish that I had chosen to study languages in college instead of the path I ended up taking. This is brain candy for me. For a while, I was a computer programmer which was equally lovely; I simply learned how to 'speak' with computers instead of my fellow humans. Thank you Wired, and thank you, Mr. Singer, for your multiple language/dialect coach videos!
Learning foreign languages and linguistics is a lot like learning code! I minored in English linguistics and our classes in semantics and syntax felt so much like learning programming. In fact a lot of linguistic majors also get into computer programming. I did not because I had a hard time with the semantics classes, but I'm sure you'll have a knack for it!
You can still study languages if you want. The public library has pretty much all you'll need.
Three letters: NLP! That's what I'm studying. It's pretty cool, combines computer science and linguistics!
(Natural Language Processing for those who don't know)
@@Sapphireia Good gods, is anyone still messing around with that? :D
@@seraiharper5553 what do you mean "still" hahaha
Someone called this guy "Dialect Daddy" under another Wired video, so I immediately searched and...I mean, they weren't wrong.
Dialect daddy is a hot name tho. Lol
noooooooo I'm dead xD
N ruclips.net/video/nyGXBRKTe74/видео.html
This is so dumn
he's got an uncanny presence. if he had any acting bones, he'd totally kill it out there.
but he's definitely great at talking about the stuff hes knowledgeable about even though the audience has no clue and give zero fuks. the only thing i remember about these videos is just plainly, "i like this guy"
Sitting here making stupid S sounds because a hot smart guy told me to.
Briar Valdr Same here, lol.
Adriana Ruelas emphasis on hot
Im using the fact I'm into acting and love technique to negate the fact Im just doing what a hot smart guy is telling me to do 😬😂
@@yodigy31 I do not have ANY excuse
GOD thats such a mood
I honestly would like to ask this professional a very important question.
How unique is one person's voice pattern?
Is it as unique as a Fingerprint? An eye retina?
For example, if we record someone saying the same word a couple times, how much will the recordings be matching? And how much will these recordings belong to this person, out of the human population?
Think about your experience. All the people whose voices you know. How hard would it be to recognize them if you could only hear their voices? You'd know instantly, and an imitator would have to be pretty good to fool you. That's true of everyone - we all have idiolects, our own particular interpretation of our regional and family accents.
I can hardly tell the difference between my own adult sons sometimes!
@@SweetColomy MOM can’t tell the difference between me, my brother, and her OWN SISTER 😭
It's called an idiolect - an individual persons way of speaking
Rami is just made for the role. He acted in the way that he usually acts, but with a bit more charisma and voila! Power of casting. And yes, Rami is awesome and he totally deserved the Oscar❤️.
Dude! He's back! I just need a channel of just this guy!
type his name on youtube n there u go
Matthew Stott ... I saw him and I immediately clicked on it when I saw a different clip ... not disappointed at all
ruclips.net/channel/UCrl8MHQdaBOogYwf_Tbjfqw
I love hiim.
I mean, there is a channel with just this guy. It's Wired. Seriously, I doubt they will ever stop putting out those amazing videos as long as there are movies and shows to review. Way interesting.
“Not all men.” You’re right. Dialect coach Erik Singer would never do this to me
Hahahaha
This is my favorite comment
this comment is so good that I like the comments under it just for the heck of it
I don’t get it
flowboy a lot of women are saying „men are trash/abusers/sexist“ or whatever, explicitly saying „men in general“ to raise awareness to the fact that a lot of men have sexist tendencies without even noticing. To that a lot of men are always stating „not all men“, meaning they would never do such stuff, but mostly just ignoring their privileges. Original commentator is saying that those men are right. Not ALL men are abusers/etc, because there is (only) one who isn’t: dialect coach Eric singer seems so genuine and nice that he would never do such things.
just wrote a whole essay on this video for my college English class, got a 98
Gosh, I'd love to read that essay.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman (who, I think most will agree, was one of the greatest actors of our time, in an interview on "Inside the Actors Studio," was asked about his "over-the-top" performance in "Boogie Nights". He replied, something to the effect of: Look around! Some people are over the top. There's nothing unnatural or unreal about doing an over-the-top performance...
What I learned today:
When you have a mustache, your upper lip loses the ability to move
MookApparel lol I thought the same 😂
Funny, but it’s actually because of Freddie Mercury’s teeth. They were quite large on the top, and pushed out of his mouth, which made it harder or unnecessary to use his top lip. Fun fact: He was afraid to get them fixed when he began to get a lot of money, because he worried that the new lack of room in his mouth would possibly put a damper on his vocal range.
Susanne E.M. Jones well Ed Kemper also had a very bushy mustache and his upper lip movements were minimal as well.
mookkss LMAO
😂😂😂
Why do I always forget Christian Bale is not American until I hear his native accent, which is like once every 3 years
Whats his nationaility then?
Momo Ari he’s welsh
Christian Bale is an absolute legend - especially when it comes to accents.
Wait he isnt
Honestly same.
It’s honestly amazing how much dedicative preparation some actors will put into a role
Yes, it's staggering. It makes me crazy when people talk about acting being "easy" or "not a real job". Yeah? Try it, wiseacre. See how far you get. >:(
he always had something good to say about every actor and it made me feel so much like, joy? inside
Can we please get a video of Erik Singer where you play videos of people speaking and he has to guess if that's their natural accent or not or guess what language people are speaking. Personally I would love to see this.
I hope Cut get this brilliant idea for their Lineup series and invite Erik.
wait.. what if.. it's just one person speaking... in like 50 different accents just to mess with him???
This might ruin Eriks mystique if he guesses wrong! 😩
I like this idea
I think it would be too easy for him :D but it is a great idea!
This guy seems like the kind of guy who would somehow use his expertise to solve murder mysteries. "Actually, I could tell it was you disguised as the Arabian ambassador by your hypo-sibilant S, whereas the real ambassador pronounces his Ss like a vuvuzela. "
That is actually interesting! 😄
😄
Austin Huber thank you very much, your comment made my day :)
Someone make a film please, I would love to see it 😄
This is actually a thing. I'm studying linguistics, and we read a paper about a case where a bomb threat had been called in to an airport, and they suspected one of the baggage handlers of having done it. Analysis of the vowels of the recorded caller and the suspect showed that they had completely different (and identifiable - I believe Boston vs New York) accents and couldn't have been the same person.
Forensic linguistics is so cool.
I cant believe that they have a whole field of people studying accents.
for actors.
In classes in college, we were told to check out the tapes ( yes. in the old days) and study each accent
Only in the rainy seasons, typically they're jarred after harvesting
It's a major part of linguistics and its a really important field of study to understand human language in general and how it changes over time
As a linguist, I absolutely LOVE these videos! Please do more!
I like to pretend this guy just makes all this up, but he sounds and looks so confident that no one at Wired questions it.
this is the pharanvaginal port *somehow manages to keep a pringle-level straight face*
"sure little man,you show em'"
When he talks about the "shapes" of the sounds... that's how me/my sister described sounds when we were little kids.
Study linguistics for clear skin
WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY TO ME
@@sofia-ej2zz Because it sounds like something Dennis Reynolds would do. And he looks like Dennis
Am I the only person who wants to be famous, just so Erik Singer can review actors trying to imitate my voice?
Lol nooo I was imagining it too, or just have him analyze the way I speak
SAME
If I was famous I would ask for him specifically, seriously lol
you're definitely not the only one! :)
I've been imagining a whole movie about myself in the past few minutes and I have come to a conclusion that if someone would try and speak like me... They would have to seem like they have to reprece a stutter
Being and AFS exchange student in 1970/71, I was picked to play the main role in the Senior Class Play at the high school I was attending. A great honor for me, then 18 y.o. I speak Spanish as my first language. So, Mr Blue, the Director of the play, taught me a lot about how and where to place my tongue so that my Spanish accent wouldn t be so noticeable. It worked!!!
I could listen to (and watch) hours of Erik explaining explain how and why sounds are made.
Americans doing the British accent and Brits doing the American accents would be an interesting episode.
Absolutely
YES!
I agree simply because it means we might get James Marsters as Spike
696190 the only thing that gave James Marsters away was his pronunciation of the word can’t. The English say “carnt” not cant
yesss i’ve been watching csi lately and i couldn’t figure out what accent someone was trying to do but it turns out it was just a brit trying to do an american accent (obviously wasn’t great)
“I wanna talk about something kinda basic...”
Me: okay like breathing or something
“... rhoticity.”
Me:
Ooh, I know this one! That's, like, a way to cook chicken. Right?
Very well-pronounced chicken?
….I'll see myself out.

Had to rewatch this how much I love this guy.
Want more of him!
I came across an Eric Singer video today of him discussing accents of the English language, and how it's a little different as you travel
across the North America continent. After watching that, I was hooked!! I began to binge watch his videos.. I must say I'm thoroughly intrigued by his knowledge on the subject of dialect and how to pronounce words and accents.. Good job!! You can tell that you care about what your talking about, plus full of grammar history and origins. I'm very impressed. Thank you for your content
Freddie Mercury's accent is incredibly hard because it isn't a traditional British accent, there's a hint of Indian in his accent due to his family being of Parsis descent. Rami absolutely nails it!
these kinda mixed accents of X-by-way-of-Y are so interesting!
Woops misread the parent pary my bad
If I'm not mistaken, Freddy was also born in Zanzibar, in modern day Tanzania, so I would expect some south-east African drifting in there.
Rami did so wonderfully!!!
He may have nailed his accent but the pitch of Freddie's voice was quite higher when speaking. Rami Malek's natural voice is much lower throughout the entire movie that's why I didn't think he was quite as good as he gets credit for as Freddie Mercury.
It’s simple. I see his face. I click
I’m always worried that his next video will be his last
Why?
Yes Man he does videos for wireds website exclusively too!
This sounds so ominous lol
Never gonna happen. Hollywood is obsessed with fictional documentaries and casting the same people. There'll always be material for him to critique.
Same, so much the same! and it's so interesting to see his appearance change in each video.
Can we get more of this guy? I miss his analyses
You talked about Clair Foy and Gary Oldman, exactly who I was hoping you'd talk about in the first one! Tbh I'd just love to see an entire breakdown of the whole cast of The Crown 😅
I really don't mean to disrespect him because hes great at his job, but he gets hotter every single time
I hear ya. It's hard not to objectify him. 😂
bumblebeans girl same lol. It’s the beard.
As a straight guy, I hear ya.
I wish guys would be this polite about women on RUclips...
ikr
Dear Wired, please NEVER get rid of this segment.
Sincerely,

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Glad that Cheny/Bale showed up, I really think he deserved an Oscar for that performance. Also Churchill was really awesome. Anyway, way too man good examples for great acting ;)
Only ever studying diction for singing, it's amazing to me how detailed the different parts of the spoken word there are. Just wow!
This is a topic that you’d think would be boring, but its so fascinating.
Its the guy talking about it. Excellent at explaining things.
actually, Erik Singer makes it fascinating.
@@OneEyeDollar6 Indeed. And he makes me sound seriously funny, as I try to do the same accents :D
That's probably the best way to describe the study of phonetics lol.
A good teacher can make any subject interesting; a bad one can make any subject boring.
we love you erik. no matter how weary intro voiceover guy gets saying "erik is still a voiceover coach for film and television", we will still want you back
This is one of my favorite series!
I could watch/listen to this guy explaining this stuff for hours on end. Ironically, he's got such a fascinating, captivating way of presenting and speaking
Very interesting! Amazing how technical and complex speech is.
We need an "Erik Singer Reads Thirst Tweets" video.
YES! Good God! It would be so long!
No, we don't.
I know one of his friends, I'm gonna tell him to pass the message on to Eric
I'd pay such good money for that
You know what's up
is it just me or...... does this guy get a little more attractive each video
fabiola a yeah, he does
Indeed he does.
yes he does
Maturity and skill will do that.
maybe you're falling in love, and so am I
The nuances of dialect are really quite fascinating. I admire those expert in this field for identifying these variations.
Excellent seeing a bunch of excellent performances, loved learning about the fine details
Erik was never unattractive but has gotten exponentially more handsome
He is so gorgeous, he could talk to me about goat sounds and whatever the fucks, and it’d still be mesmerized
he's not wearing a wedding ring in this video
Yes.
Abby Jo Morris - I have his voice in my head critiquing his own facial structure and grooming technique over time: “You see here, in the beginning, he’s less practiced and less self aware - then we go to a more recent clip, and you see there is a posture and even the facial grooming, he’s lost his need to be “camera ready” and shave everyday, and yet he is more aware at how that small decision changes the reception - and I think for the positive - in the viewer.
he looks like Bo Burnham’s older brother
Joseph Gordon Levitt is so underrated as an actor. He always nails it when it comes accents.
He’s a really great method actor
For real - that impression of Snowden is nothing short of spectacular
Maliha Intikhab I’d nail him if you know what I mean
His young Bruce Willis is crazy in Looper. I stopped remembering it was JGL.
his french/english was crazy good in the walk too, i think erik complimented him on it in a past video
I really want him to analize James Franco's impression on Tommy Wiseau
It's so amazing listening to experts talk about their fields
I love how everyone in the comments has a crush on dialect daddy
i'd like this, but i don't wanna ruin the perfect 69 😄
Seriously, nobody ever respects the 69. They always ruin it 😒 Inconsiderate squids. Probably a bunch of 6 year olds who don’t understand yet . . .

Absolutely fascinating and I agree with the other commentor who said this guy should have his own series. I would binge every single one of them. I find this kind of stuff endlessly interesting.
Erik is so fun to watch. I love when he shows up
Speaking English as a non native speaker is so weird and challenging sometimes. Because you don't grow up with one accent or dialect. Your dialect, vocabulary, pronunciation, accent, everything is a messy amalgamation of everything and however you learn each word. Often knowing multiple, many pronunciations for a single world or knowing a bit of every accent. And you need to make a conscious decision as to which option you want to choose in the moment. Almost like an identity crisis. It's like breathing manually.
Breath in

totally. and totally relate
Eh, I just speak some sort of Standard American Speech
That sounds so awkward, I always noticed that people who learn English as a second language tend to have a broadly American accent.
I feel like Pryonka Chopra's accent is a good example of this.
I am scared that he'll hear me talk and say that I don't have the correct accent
"You're not really hitting your own accent there, if you were going for an impersonation of yourself." :D
Well your rhotic pronunciation is atypical based on your region
shahriar lim ikr
I was in class with him for a year, believe me, Erik never talks about "correct" or "incorrect." He hates that, as there's no such thing as correct speech. Rather, when we talk about actors doing accents that aren't their own, we can talk about more or less "successful" achievement ;)
WHY DO WE ONLY GET LIKE ONE VIDEO LIKE THIS A YEAR?!? Erik needs to do this weekly.
Erik Singer: I am so impressed by your presentation of this material. It would have been easy for a snide or mocking tone to have crept into your remarks, especially when dealing with the less savory characters here. You are always scholarly and respectful, no matter who you're presenting.
"Ice Cube and his son are both fronting"
Whoa. You got balls, son.
Lmao
RayRays Phone this just made me snort
My immediate thought
😅
Lmao underrated comment
Queen Elizabeth was so over the top in real life when she was young; if Claire Foy had gone totally accurately for that high pitched really posh voice, she would have appeared to be doing a caricature. In fact, Queen Elizabeth herself toned down her own accent later in life. Claire got it exactly right in the film to appear authentic.
This is actually a pretty common thing, see all the famous people that have entered lookalike contests and not come first. There's also lots of films/TV/plays based on real events that have to be toned down because people would think they were too over the top.
I mean she was a baby queen, of course she tried too hard with sounding more mature than she actually was 😄
She's still young 🙄
@@yanasrayz did they ever said they weren't? Your getting offended over nothing
@@user-kt3qm8jy8y r/woooosh
amazing! So many interesting videos about something I've never thought about. Absolutely incredible!
This was so interesting and informative. Thank you! 🙏🏽

wrinkly and small lmao
@Razh 80 bruh
@Razh 80 She was quite cute indeed.
The only man that can professionally ask “what that tongue do?”
@@Brams2777 isn't she still cute? Just in a completely different general way though :)
Have you ever addressed Benedict Cumberbatch's speech impediment? He suppresses it in public and when performing, but when he played Turing and Assange he had to create a stammer and lisp, respectively while suppressing his own issue. I thought that was amazing, especially while recreating accents.
What is his issue?
@@Walfuz I"m not a speech pathologist, but I"ll do my best. The left side of his mouth doesn't seem to seal (you can see how much bigger his smile is on the left side, which is nice), so sometimes you can catch a hissy leak of air. In Sherlock, it sounds like he says Tchon instead of John, he has trouble with tch's, as in Batch.
If you look at blooper reels you can find examples. ruclips.net/video/79DVINGzTT0/видео.html Hear him say spider, and then everything he says in the van. On Graham Norton, when Harrison Ford compliments him, he says TYVM but loses his composure and lisps it. In the Sherlock bloopers when Martin makes him laugh explosively, he turns his face away so we can't see his mouth go wide, but we can hear it.
Anyway, I'm not alone in thinking it's charming, but it is amazing how he is able to hide it when he wants to.
Penguings
@@yessica5231 OMG, yes. A whole other level of charming, I heard him say that he finds that word terrifying because it's just a big blank when he thinks about it, and he has no idea how it should come out. Can you imagine? I've heard him mispronounce optometrist as 'optrometist', and that was in an ad. Weird that it was left in.
But yeah. pingwing, pengweng, pingling. I'm here for it. Hee.
@@Book7BrokeMyBrain THANK YOU! I noticed he does some words strangely in American accents but couldn't put my finger on it because he is very strong otherwise.
Wouldn’t loved to see a more in-depth analysis of Claire Danes as Temple Grandin. One of the greatest performances of its decade, film or tv. The cast and film/series was top-notch too. One of HBO’s many huge triumphs.
Really enjoyed this. I mimic voices myself and never had a coach so it was always for personal use. I use in teaching English to mix it up and let the kids know how different accents can and will throw you off and how important it is to listen to multiple. I never really delved too far into the details of it really outside of teaching phonics and the difference between British and American English, so this made me really think.
I just want to hear this guy dissect my way of speaking
I literally was thinking about that!!! I wish he would!
Turns out you're bad at your own accent.
Yeah, that's what I kept thinking too - also, if someone ever played me in a movie, what would they pick out as distinguishing about how I speak?
@@ofeliamay3442 I know! like how do I pronounce my s ?,how do i move my lips? I dont even know me
Not that special
How crazy that a dialect coach was the one to start the whole wave of "expert breakdown" videos. Goes to show that the subject matters less than the teacher and their passion for it. We'll be engaged with anyone who can teach the way this guy can. He should do a Masterclass on doing different accents.
He should definitely have his own channel
he actually has a website where you can buy virtual lessons on different accents!
EAmami he does
Him and the CIA lady are royalty
PLEASE!!! More of this man ❤️🤗🙏🏼
Yes it is fascinating! And I love the humorous clip editing.
I want to become famous just so a movie is made about me and this guy analyzes my idiolect and the actor's imitation
That's how you know you made it
Amen!!
I have the same dream. I'm trying really hard to become famous, but the FBI just hasn't caught on yet. Maybe I should leave some more clues.
Same
He should break down the worst accents in movies
Oh, he's done that in other videos on here.
@@nspector link please
The Americans in Mary Poppins, like omg the shittiest cockney ever
Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford would head the list 😂
Kevin Costner as Robin Hood! What was that?!
I loved the review on Cameron doing Kemper, truly a remarkable performance
A very fair, respectful - and interesting - assessment. Good job!
I want someone to an uncanny impression of Erik and then have him review it
Wonderful idea.
Get Glen howerton to do it and I'll watch
Dialect Coach Erik Singer breaksdown impersonations of Dialect Coach Erik Singer.
Yes please someone do it
I think it would be cool for Erik to break down the accents of each state.
I would watch that series!
Episode 1 of Tech Critique had Erik kinda break down regional accents (southern, New England, even some specific states) so I think expanding on it could be a swell idea.
Add a few countries. Is not all about the U.S.A...
A video per state 😂😂😂 there are so many accents, in LA county accents vary per city,
Yes please!! I'm very interested in what exactly makes my accent in California!
I wish we could get him back speaking about accent in animated movies, I'm sure there's plenty for his to analyze in those movies.
I absolutely love these segments
