As an American, actors drive me crazy trying to do a decent Southern accent. A Texas accent is different from a Florida or Alabama or Tennessee accent. Especially if a plot is set in Alabama and a character is speaking in a Florida accent as an example. Great video, BTW you have an accent that’s similar to a priest that I knew when i was a child.
As someone who was born and raised in Florida... there is no Florida accent. Some people here have a bit of New York or Georgia or Cuban accent because that's where a lot of us are from, but mostly it's just the standard American accent.
IceMetalPunk Maybe the Florida accent died out, but there used to be a distinct south Florida accent. My ex wife’s family was from the Miami area. They had a definite accent, this of course was before the influx of Cubans and Haitians that may have altered the speech patterns.
I grew up in GA and even within our state, the accent ranges region to region. But there's absolutely a huge difference btw GA accents and those from other southern states, you're definitely right about that and it also drives me crazy whenever the actors' accents don't fit the characters' origins too.
Yeah, totally agree. Some European actors can pull of a standard American accent. But a Southern one? No. You want to hear bad? Jude Law and Colin Farrell. Both great actors. But just like Americans trying to do an Irish accent, they go too hard. In the end, it's more of a caricature of a Southern person than the real thing. To be fair, some American actors can't pull off a Southern accent either.
If regional identity is important to a story, I wish Hollywood would make it a point to cast people from that region. There's value in authenticity. Another great video. Your threat made me lol. 😄
@@gawainethefirst - Aye. I suppose there's more value in Tom Cruise speaking in a wretched Irish accent than an up and coming actor from Ireland speaking in an authentic accent. I suppose....
AssHattery Engaged I know I prefer to see an up and coming Irish actor or actress . Still remember watching Cillian Murphy in one of his first roles in wind that shakes the barley but then that was set in his native cork so just used his natural accent for it .

We just came back from a 10 day vacation in your fantastic country....more than once, we asked the people we were talking to, to SPELL what they were saying. Then we were able to figure out what we were being told. You folks are so friendly, and musically talented...we spent more than half of our evenings at pubs listening to the musicians...it was so great! We hope to come back and visit Ireland again, soon.
The IRISH you met were very patient with you. Fortunately they tend to like "YANKS" (Americans from wherever- not just the South) Can you imagine a foreigner trying to converse with random Americans and asking them to spell out what they are saying? " WHATT AYA STOOPID OR SOMETHING? I AM SPEAKIN' ENGLISH!"(lol)
@@GFSLombardo Actually, I have spelled out things lots of times. I have a hard time hearing, so it's almost second nature to spell things when someone can't understand me. Not only that, but we would then try to pronounce whatever it was, (usually a town's name) properly after they helped...that always makes people realize that there are different ways to say things. Everyone we ran into was pleasant, and friendly..well, except for a bar keep at one of the pubs we visited. Other than that, we had a fantastic time.
Diane, you are such a sweet, kind, lovable, smiling person. You represent Ireland so well. Part of the reason I watch is because you are always so pleasant, uplifting, kind and smiling. I truly appreciate the warm and humble person you are. Never lose that; and Thank You!
Not only Far and Away had bad Irish accents, they also got us history wrong as well. The Oklahoma Land Rush events didn't happen till years later then the movie took place.
Come on that’s unfair . What pisses me off is Americans doing Irish accents it’s disrespectful in the extreme I don’t do one cause I have too much respect for my family to do one stop it .
@@michelleflood8220 Umm, that's an ignorant comment. First of all there is absolutely no difference between Americans imitating an accent and non-Americans imitating the countless American accents. You don't get some imaginary pass simply because you don't like your own country, or someone else's country. So claiming someone is disrespectful for imitating a accent is, quite frankly, stupid. Second of all, most people imitate an accent purely because they *like* the accent. Not to make fun of it. Which is the distant second reason for imitating an accent. And if you can't take ribbing of an accent...whether yours or anothers...then you're little better than a self important weeny. Which is why the majority of humans worldwide are fed up with the PC culture that is constantly destroying all the things that people who are very different often bond easiest about. Like imitating, whether in jest or not, accents.
A thing I thought was cool about Michael Collins is that Liam Neeson didn't just use his regular Northern Irish accent. He tried to sound like West Cork, like the real Collins. I'd be curious to hear you talk more about that and if he nailed it or not. I'd like you to rate Kelly MacDonald's Irish accent in Boardwalk Empire. Sounds so much different than her regular Scottish accent.
LOVE this stuff. Great video, as always. I speak a few languages and I'm told when I speak Spanish, it's endearing. I get compliments all the time. I can't hear my accent in Spanish, but to native speakers, it's obvious to them where I'm from. Anyway... one's native accent is really a work in progress. Certainly takes years to get where we are now, right? To expect Joe Actor to have 3 weeks with a dialog coach and even come close is a miracle, as far as I'm concerned. All good wishes!
Colm Meaney is Irish and his accent is 100% real. He is in Far and Away. He was the bar owner. He was also in star Trek TNG and DS9 as Miles Edward O'Brien. He has also been in a movie with Colin Farrel, an all Irish cast movie. I forget the name of it now.
I would love to hear your opinion of all the actors and actresses in "Widows' Peak" - Joan Plowright, Mia Farrow ( whose mom was Irish), Natasha Richardson, etc. I've been aching to know how close they got to an Irish accent. I remember Mia Farrow saying she wasn't sure she could do it. Lovely mystery, comedy and beautiful scenery. Thanks for the fun video!👍🌸
Enjoyed this VERY much! Any time you talk about something close to my heart like acting authenticity, I love it. First, where would you place your own (to us) dialectical speech. Is it one place, or is it a mixture. (Abandoning numbering my points) There are several ideas I’ve had that might be interesting for future shows: Since you’ve brought up the fact that actors often don’t pick a regional dialect, I think it would be really fun if you did a tour of Ireland in dialects of English from different regions. It could be a continuing series where you either go to places and film the trips there (big curiosity about that here) and ones in which you talk to people from the region and label on screen the regional accent they are doing. I would be fascinated by this. Easier to do would be to find people from different regions who happen to be in Dublin and if their speech hasn’t been influenced by being there to much have them on the show. Still interesting but you miss the wanting to see Ireland market this way. One of the things I had to do as an actor was pick up a dialect for a play. My first experience was playing Mayhew, the solicitor, in Witness for the Prosecution. So even before the auditions I started to watch reruns of “The Avengers” and repeated everything that the Character John Steed said after he said it and let the different pronunciation rules and grammar soak in. That was my first clue to how dialect influences word choice. Not just the standard E/Am differences like lift/elevator, but much more subtle things as the difference between Steed/Peel characters. I’m guessing that Steed was using RP. It weren’t no cockney ducky! (Joke) When I did the show again for a semiprofessional group on the North Side my experience as Mayhew helped me get the part of Sir Wilfred, Robards, QC. I used the time to polish my posh English more. When I did my first paid role as an Actor, Hugh Leonard’s A Life, in which I played the older Kearns. The director wanted to have the young/old characters to have consistent accents chronologically but different from character to character, so he paid and brought in a dialectician who taught us all in a few hours out accents, Kearns was a simple guy so he got Country Dublin, Drum was a smooth teacher who thought highly of himself intellectually so there was a slight more country Dublin in him as a teen, and much more smoothness in him as an adult which meant Urban Dublin plus a shade of Belfast. His wife was more simple like Kearns so she also got Country Dublin with a little refinement as an adult, and my wife who was much more suited to Drumm than Kearns got what I would call a faint echo of Drumm’s accent within her own. The point was to have the accents indicate that perhaps the two couples married the opposite type of person they should have and that set up everything sad that followed in the plot. A brilliant idea! I had a innate talent that the Director didn’t know about. My first 9 years we lived in a neighborhood which was entirely African American except for the priests and nuns next door. I was unconscious of it but I had picked up my parents accents and dialect and word choices and the same of the kids on the street whose family probably came up from Joejah or Missypee. Apparently I changed my own dialect and word choice to match whoever I was talking to, and if I started my sentence talking to a neighbor I would start in their version of that dialect and switch to my parents version mid-sentence if I turned my head to include my sibling in the topic, switching unconsciously as I turned to them to include them which my parents and other adults found screamingly funny. I also apparently did this in grades K-4. So the director offered to drive me home after we all worked with the dialectician and our tape recorders. I thought it had gone well but as we rode along he was silent for at least a half a mile then turned to me and said “Peter, your improvement today was almost miraculous. Not only did you nail the dialect almost immediately but your phrasing and acting improved as well. I’m stunned! Very pleased but stunned.” Even today it’s possible that if I was talking to you and someone from another part of Ireland and someone from England for a long enough a period There’s good odds I might do the same thing to then as their differences seeped into my subconscious (probably not unconscious, unless we were drinking heavily) mind. The director cast me after my audition for another show in which I did an outrageous audition for a part that had to play the piano and in which I used an exercise I learned from John Thompson Book 1, page 11? A book which every person who played piano knew, and I played it for comedy with all the verve of someone playing a very difficult piano concerto. Hysterical laughter came as soon as I named the piece and began my Bugs Bunny-esque audition. Fortunately, while I was wrong for that role I got cast in “A Life” based on that audition, In the US things in parks that supply free water are called water fountains in Chicago and Bubblers in Madison Wisconsin only 150 miles away. A vacant lot might be called a lot in NY, a prairie in Chicago (despite being small) and a field somewhere else. Are their weird different terms for the same things in Eire? Do some of those differences come from Gaelic rather than just quirkiness? There was a series I’m trying to find called The Story of English that was all about language in all its forms and accents. I wish I’d had access to it when I was acting. I hope this has amused you and anyone else reading it. But please do think of what you can demonstrate from your part of the world that may seem weird to us. Or just life in Dublin and Eire. Oh, a lot of people did wind up praying for me on the 25th mostly due to Facebook. Thank you if you were one of them or any of your watchers did. It felt like there were a great number of people supporting me this year and it did help. ❤️
O for a Muse of craic, that would a-friend The weirdest haven of connection, A bedroom for a stage, Diane to edit And Chewie to steal the telling screen!

There are many Southern American accents as well (my favorite is the sweet honey of North Mississippi), so actors go for a generalized Dukes of Hazzard sound.
I listened to an offshore radio station in Galway: WLS. The DJs all desperately tried to sound American, God knows why. None of my Irish roommates could hear it, but I knew immediately they were not American. And nothing was worse than the American accents in an Australian TV show about a kangaroo (think "Lassie" with big hind legs) called "Skippy."
I was in Ireland not long after Far & Away came out. We did a walking tour of Dublin and I asked the tour guide what he thought of the accents of Cruise and Kidman. He said Kidman's wasn't terrible but thought Cruise's was pretty bad.
Well, on the other side of things... I'm gonna have to give Colin Farrell 9/10 for being able to pull off an American accent... although, his Southern Drawl is a bit muddled between Deep-South and Texan
I could listen to Diane's accent all day. Also Maureen O'Hara's. :) i had an Irish American friend who visited there vrry often and could identify the County in Ireland a person came from by their accent.
Oh goodness Diane. Whether you decide to react to it or not, Boondock Saints is a good movie. It's violent as heck, but it's also hilarious. If you don't mind the fake blood, you should certainly check it out. Willam Defoe is wonderful in it. Snatch is also incredibly funny. To me anyway. Hope you're all having a great day!
We grow up watching American television and movies. Everyone here knows what a New York accent sounds like. A Texas accent. A “Southern” accent. Most would know Boston, valley girl, maybe Minnesota/North Dakota area. Americans have very little exposure to real Irish accents by comparison. The occasional actor on a talk show. And even then, nobody watching knows which Irish accent it is. And often mistake Scottish and Welsh for Irish accents. Just a whole different level of exposure and awareness.
Can relate, it's horrible to listen to actors who aren't from the American South try and replicate the accent. And anyone from the south can identify where you are from by your accent which is not homogeneous but truly distinct by reigon. Appalachia has definite Scot and Irish tints to it while coastal Carolina and Georgia have Welsh and Brit, and gulf coast states have a French and Creole mix.. there actually is a whole field of study into regional dialect you can major in in English studies at most major universities in America! Good vid
I didn't know there were any Irish Travelers before this video, except maybe in one TV show I might have seen some, but didn't realize they were Travelers at the time. You're probably familiar with the show "Moone Boy", right? I love that they're called "Travelers" now though, instead of being called "Gypsies" like they were when I was a little kid. It's very difficult to really do an accent well unless you study it for a very long time in my experience or you just have an ear for them. I love topics like this.
Could you do a show demonstrating the different Irish dialects? Here in Alabama we sound quite different after a hundred miles or so, and I've noticed different Irish people having completely different sounding accents as well, from barely noticeable to so strong I had trouble picking out their words. Dialects fascinate me and I bet many viewers feel similarly.
A) Omg! I love Philip Defranco too! B) I read a lot of books set in Ireland and "hear" the accent well, but what is funny to me and annoying to those around me is that I start speaking with a lilt. The cadence of my speech changes. Not speaking with an accent, but with an Irish lilt if that makes sense. 😂😂😂 And C) Since I have been watching the Facts & Try channels, I have acquired the word "moreish" (no idea how it is spelled 😋) in my every day life. 😂❤😉 So thanks for that. Anyway, yeah, I find the Irish and Scottish accents the most difficult to get right. Anyway, great video as always. Btw, what types of reactions do you want to do? Movies and TV like you did GoT? Or like all the other YTers? ❤
There's a guy who teaches accents and does videos for WIRED and he's taken a look at some of the same films. One thing he said over and over that I hadn't considered is that often those big actors aren't given enough time to really study the role and the accent enough- resulting in an accent that isn't specific enough to be believable. Another thing he mentioned is that some accents directly contradict theater training- open up your mouth to project and be heard. For some accents (maybe Irish?) that's affecting the sound.
I think that it’s similar to the US, some of our accents are subtle and some are very pronounced. I notice that with you guys as well. I think your particular accent is subtle, but others have a very thick accent. I feel the same way about the UK too.
My favourite bad irish accents and depictions of Ireland are from Murder She Wrote episodes and movies set in Ireland haha. My favourtie is when people talk about loving 'THE' Irish accent, and I'm like which one. Dublin alone has about 4 or 5 different ones lol
"Ooh, it's a bit diddledy-dye" is the funniest thing I've heard Diane say in her videos so far. I'd love to hear Diane, "Clisare", and Siobhán from Bitsesize Irish sit down together and talk about ... anything, really. Dialect question for people familiar with the Mayo accent: Do you think the guy who plays Viper on _Hardy Bucks_ really talks like that, or is he exaggerating the accent for the show?
Mauren O'Hara was born Maureen Fitzsimons. You may be confusing her with Maureen O'Sullivan another Irish-American actress best known for playing "Jane" in the old Tarzan Movies.
There's actually a spot in "Snatch" where Statham is narrating and commenting about Brad's character's accent, saying something like: "It's not Irish, and it's not English. It's just....Pikey".
Ah Diane darlin', now you know how us Southern Americans feel every time we see a movie featuring "Southerners". :-) Also, you've got your headphones on the wrong ears. ;-)
Agreed. You'd think with all the southerners here they could find a real one to play a part once in a while. When you hear a real one in a movie or tv you can pick it up instantly. For instance Eb and Mr. Haney on Green Acres. I knew they were real southerners from the word go. Also George Eads from CSI-I picked him out as a Texan almost immediately, and he doesn't even have a particularly thick accent.
Your point about casting someone like Julia Roberts is spot on. It's called show BUSINESS. When you cast in favor of authenticity over marketability, you get movies like The Guard, which is one of my all time favorites, but, here in the states, about nine people have seen. At the end of the day, you cast people who are gonna sell the most tickets.
Boondock Saints is a MUST SEE! It's on my Top 10 Most Important Movies Of All Time list! And in that scene they definitely overdid it, it's not that "Lucky Charms" in basically any other part if the movie. Love that name lol, "Lucky Charms Accent"!
Awww. "These are pretty old movies..." lol I remember seeing these in films in theaters. If it's been more than 10 years, it's "old" now. Y'know, like Charlie Chaplin films.
🤣loveing the threat of mental torture, you can climb into my head any time. Some of these accents are torture any way, hay I'll take mini driver as distant cousin anyday 😉.
Another good video. I don't know if you can find it , but google The Black Donnellys. I twas a show about the Irish mob in Boston or New York. Also I heard one of the girls in Derry Girls is English. I would like to see what you think of her accent.
If you do this topic again, please consider Back to the Future III. While not a predominant movie concerning Ireland, Michael J Fox's character Shamus McFly is a Irish immigrant. Would love to hear your thoughts on his portrayal of the Irish accent.
Oh, actors, especially those who have worked in large theaters often over pronounce things. The Theater in which we did “A life” had rafter mikes and only seated maybe two hundred people but we were doing a Tu-Sun performance schedule for three weeks and so we didn’t have to do much to be heard. (Except Sunday matinee in which we had to boost our volume for the many seniors). The room I did “Witness” for the first time had an old canvass ceiling and was very wide and say maybe 400 so dialogue had to be very crisp and well projected to be heard in the whole house. The place that I did “Witness” the second time with an enormous amount of dialogue was The Atheneum Theater in Chicago. That was built as an opera house and held 350? Maybe more but the acoustics were much better. Still, to hear your voice bouncing off the back wall in an empty house required a good deal of effort in clarity particularly a moment in which I got VERY loud for shock value while facing the Witness in the box for one moment and still be heard whispering to another. Of course, Sir Wilfred would have a very crisp and precise manner given his education and class. Do most actors probably over pronounce a little more than they realize and not to have subtitles added in underneath.
I wrote ads for Tex Brashear, the voice of Lucky the leprechaun of Lucky Charms cereal. He was from Texas. If we could've gotten the kids addicted to sugary potato cereal with a six foot tall John Wayne leprechaun doing his "The Quiet Man" accent we would have.
“It doesn’t hold up” and also other things about how it’s not a good accent yet gives it a 7.5 out of 10?! Omg that’s the most generous rating EVER! There’s no need to be nice to them about it, if they did that bad of a job then give em a 4 or 5 like they deserve!
There is a well known actor named Colm Meaney who is actually from Ireland. When he first auditioned in Hollywood he used his natural Irish accent but was accused of faking it. So he used an exaggerated hollywood lucky charms accent and got parts.
Yes, that first one made me think I was watching the Leprechaun movie. I don't understand why some of those production companies don't get at least one Irish person on the set to let them know how awful they sound. What about the accent Michael J. Fox did in Back to the Future 3?
I wonder what you would think of The Quiet Man is a 1952 Technicolor American romantic comedy-drama film directed by John Ford.It stars John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond and Victor McLaglen. All of the outdoor scenes were shot on location in Ireland in County Mayo and County Galway. One of my favorites. No profanity.
Would have loved to her your take on Meryle Streep in Dancing at Lughnasa. That actress is so great you forget who she really is every movie. She just embodies the character.
If you do another movie accent video; I'd love to know what you think of Anjelica Houston's accent in the movie "The Dead." She is the only American with an otherwise Irish cast. I'd also like to nominate that you react to Menahem Golan's masterpiece "The Apple."
@@chipparmley Yeah, but boy, don't you hate when someone not from the South (USA) tries to do an accent and it sounds like a butchered "Southern Belle"? "Ahm jest a sweet lil' Suthern Bale from way down yonder in Atlanta!" Yeah, right! ;-)
Hey Diane lovely video.. would like to recommend WestWorld for reaction Mondays next.. and could you do a vid to distinguish between Irish and Northern Irish way of life(not history n stuff) just like day to day difference 😉
A lot of Texans don’t enunciate much, but we also don’t sound like each other and can place each other by dialect. Also holy crap circle of friends?!?! These are old movies even for me.
Honestly you do flat American and hint of tx very well. Lol. Are there really not more recent notable Americans playing Irish in film? 🤔 I can’t think of any others either but...I feel like there have to be more recent movies we’re forgetting...
I have realized I am a fan of Editor Diane, she is great lol. Surprisingly, for such a small country (not a criticism) that y'all have such a wide range of accents. Mind you I ain't never heard an Irish accent I did not like. I remember watching the Canadian show Republic of Doyle, that is supposed to be in Newfoundland, and their accents in the show had a wee bit of what I might have associated with Irish.
New World Irish accents (and there are plenty) have definitely become their own thing over the last couple of centuries (hell, Newfoundland alone probably has at least a half dozen :) and have mutated enough that it would probably take a linguist to trace their ancestry.
Did i catch a monty python quote at the end "i got better" in reference to the witch in monty python and the holy grail " shes a witch, she turned me into a newt, I got better" or maybe it wasn't 😄
Was that the piano from "Heart Like a Wheel" when you were threatening us? For some reason, Andrea Corr wasn't quite so threatening when she sang it...
Happy Wednesday to you Diane! You always look so lovely! I am in total agreement with you as far as Hollywood's depiction of how the Irish accent should sound. Some of these sound a bit ubsurd and comical. Like Tommy Lee Jones in "Blown Away" and Brad Pitt in "The Devil's Own" for example. I like their films but their accents are pretty comical when you listen to them. I almost forgot about Pitt's accent in "Snatch". It sounds a bit muddled. 😂 Anyways, great video as always Diane. Always enjoy your content. Have a great week my friend and be well. 😊😎
For me one of the funniest bad Irish accents in film would have to be Sean Connery in Darby McGill and the Little People - one of the only two films I know of in which he attempted an Irish accent. He succeeded in sounding three parts Scottish, one part Irish and one part lockjaw.
The actor is English, I think. What's funny is the actor who plays The Preacher does a pretty good Southern accent and he's British. He also did a turn as Tony Stark's father in Captain America and I thought his "American" accent was great. In fact, I didn't even know he wasn't American until I saw him on a talk show.
I don't know. I really enjoy the earlier work of creative people. It gives you a better idea of who they really are. I took some of my very favorite photos by accident when I was learning.
I remember that film well. I saw it about 48 years ago in a compilation 'The Best of the Erotic Film Festival" The names is a joke by the way None of the films wee erotic. I also remember that it was really heavy on plot and very light on dialogue. Also, it is vey short. You may want to add a few more reactions to your video.

Umm, that's an ignorant comment. First of all there is absolutely no difference between Americans imitating an accent and non-Americans imitating the countless American accents.
You don't get some imaginary pass simply because you don't like your own country, or someone else's country.
So claiming someone is disrespectful for imitating a accent is, quite frankly, stupid.
Second of all, most people imitate an accent purely because they *like* the accent. Not to make fun of it. Which is the distant second reason for imitating an accent.
And if you can't take ribbing of an accent...whether yours or anothers...then you're little better than a self important weeny.
Which is why the majority of humans worldwide are fed up with the PC culture that is constantly destroying all the things that people who are very different often bond easiest about. Like imitating, whether in jest or not, accents.
Threatened with physical violence AND emotion torture, what a great day.
Ah sure! Its weird Wednesday!
I know, right?! Ha ha!
A thing I thought was cool about Michael Collins is that Liam Neeson didn't just use his regular Northern Irish accent. He tried to sound like West Cork, like the real Collins. I'd be curious to hear you talk more about that and if he nailed it or not.
I'd like you to rate Kelly MacDonald's Irish accent in Boardwalk Empire. Sounds so much different than her regular Scottish accent.
LOVE this stuff. Great video, as always. I speak a few languages and I'm told when I speak Spanish, it's endearing. I get compliments all the time. I can't hear my accent in Spanish, but to native speakers, it's obvious to them where I'm from. Anyway... one's native accent is really a work in progress. Certainly takes years to get where we are now, right? To expect Joe Actor to have 3 weeks with a dialog coach and even come close is a miracle, as far as I'm concerned. All good wishes!
How dare you assume we sleep in socks!? 😂 🧦🚫
Colm Meaney is Irish and his accent is 100% real. He is in Far and Away. He was the bar owner. He was also in star Trek TNG and DS9 as Miles Edward O'Brien. He has also been in a movie with Colin Farrel, an all Irish cast movie. I forget the name of it now.
I would love to hear your opinion of all the actors and actresses in "Widows' Peak" - Joan Plowright, Mia Farrow ( whose mom was Irish), Natasha Richardson, etc. I've been aching to know how close they got to an Irish accent. I remember Mia Farrow saying she wasn't sure she could do it. Lovely mystery, comedy and beautiful scenery. Thanks for the fun video!👍🌸
Great acting Chewie! 🦴🦴🦴
Emotional torture Diane is haunting even when you've already subscribed and liked and... Oh no did I miss a video? 😱
Haha he was happy to shout out though wriggly
The Boondock Saints is one of my fav movies. You should watch!
Oh my God yes you should totally do a reaction Monday and starting with Boondock Saints!!!!
Absolutely!!! Boondock Saints reaction, please. It is a great movie, regardless of bad accents.
@@davidbrewer1577 the bad accents just add to it. At least I think so....... a probably one of my favorite movies ever.
Enjoyed this VERY much! Any time you talk about something close to my heart like acting authenticity, I love it.
First, where would you place your own (to us) dialectical speech. Is it one place, or is it a mixture.
(Abandoning numbering my points) There are several ideas I’ve had that might be interesting for future shows:
Since you’ve brought up the fact that actors often don’t pick a regional dialect, I think it would be really fun if you did a tour of Ireland in dialects of English from different regions.
It could be a continuing series where you either go to places and film the trips there (big curiosity about that here) and ones in which you talk to people from the region and label on screen the regional accent they are doing.
I would be fascinated by this.
Easier to do would be to find people from different regions who happen to be in Dublin and if their speech hasn’t been influenced by being there to much have them on the show.
Still interesting but you miss the wanting to see Ireland market this way.
One of the things I had to do as an actor was pick up a dialect for a play. My first experience was playing Mayhew, the solicitor, in Witness for the Prosecution. So even before the auditions I started to watch reruns of “The Avengers” and repeated everything that the Character John Steed said after he said it and let the different pronunciation rules and grammar soak in.
That was my first clue to how dialect influences word choice. Not just the standard E/Am differences like lift/elevator, but much more subtle things as the difference between Steed/Peel characters. I’m guessing that Steed was using RP. It weren’t no cockney ducky! (Joke)
When I did the show again for a semiprofessional group on the North Side my experience as Mayhew helped me get the part of Sir Wilfred, Robards, QC. I used the time to polish my posh English more.
When I did my first paid role as an Actor, Hugh Leonard’s A Life, in which I played the older Kearns. The director wanted to have the young/old characters to have consistent accents chronologically but different from character to character, so he paid and brought in a dialectician who taught us all in a few hours out accents,
Kearns was a simple guy so he got Country Dublin, Drum was a smooth teacher who thought highly of himself intellectually so there was a slight more country Dublin in him as a teen, and much more smoothness in him as an adult which meant Urban Dublin plus a shade of Belfast. His wife was more simple like Kearns so she also got Country Dublin with a little refinement as an adult, and my wife who was much more suited to Drumm than Kearns got what I would call a faint echo of Drumm’s accent within her own.
The point was to have the accents indicate that perhaps the two couples married the opposite type of person they should have and that set up everything sad that followed in the plot. A brilliant idea!
I had a innate talent that the Director didn’t know about. My first 9 years we lived in a neighborhood which was entirely African American except for the priests and nuns next door.
I was unconscious of it but I had picked up my parents accents and dialect and word choices and the same of the kids on the street whose family probably came up from Joejah or Missypee.
Apparently I changed my own dialect and word choice to match whoever I was talking to, and if I started my sentence talking to a neighbor I would start in their version of that dialect and switch to my parents version mid-sentence if I turned my head to include my sibling in the topic, switching unconsciously as I turned to them to include them which my parents and other adults found screamingly funny.
I also apparently did this in grades K-4. So the director offered to drive me home after we all worked with the dialectician and our tape recorders. I thought it had gone well but as we rode along he was silent for at least a half a mile then turned to me and said “Peter, your improvement today was almost miraculous. Not only did you nail the dialect almost immediately but your phrasing and acting improved as well. I’m stunned! Very pleased but stunned.”
Even today it’s possible that if I was talking to you and someone from another part of Ireland and someone from England for a long enough a period There’s good odds I might do the same thing to then as their differences seeped into my subconscious (probably not unconscious, unless we were drinking
heavily) mind.
The director cast me after my audition for another show in which I did an outrageous audition for a part that had to play the piano and in which I used an exercise I learned from John Thompson Book 1, page 11? A book which every person who played piano knew, and I played it for comedy with all the verve of someone playing a very difficult piano concerto. Hysterical laughter came as soon as I named the piece and began my Bugs Bunny-esque audition. Fortunately, while I was wrong for that role I got cast in “A Life” based on that audition,
In the US things in parks that supply free water are called water fountains in Chicago and Bubblers in Madison Wisconsin only 150 miles away.
A vacant lot might be called a lot in NY, a prairie in Chicago (despite being small) and a field somewhere else. Are their weird different terms for the same things in Eire? Do some of those differences come from Gaelic rather than just quirkiness?
There was a series I’m trying to find called The Story of English that was all about language in all its forms and accents. I wish I’d had access to it when I was acting.
I hope this has amused you and anyone else reading it.
But please do think of what you can demonstrate from your part of the world that may seem weird to us. Or just life in Dublin and Eire.
Oh, a lot of people did wind up praying for me on the 25th mostly due to Facebook. Thank you if you were one of them or any of your watchers did. It felt like there were a great number of people supporting me this year and it did help. ❤️
Omg please do a reaction video for boondock saints!!!!!!
It really is a cult classic for good reason! If you can just let the accents be what they are and watch the movie for what it is, it's great!
Yes! Please do this. You could do 1 and 2
11/10 would watch a Boondocks Saints reaction/review video 💕
another vote for boondock saints
Isn't the movie set in Boston though? They were immigrants but I don't remember how long they'd lived in America when it takes place
The thirst is real😍🔥lol.
Yes, please review Boondock saints!!
O for a Muse of craic, that would a-friend

A bedroom for a stage, Diane to edit
And Chewie to steal the telling screen!
Hoooooray! You can do a book of these!
@@DianeJennings I am just pleased that my drivel amuses you.
Then should the goddess-like Diane, like herself,

Leash'd in like a hound, should Chewie
Crouch for employment.
We are but ciphers to this great accompt.
There are many Southern American accents as well (my favorite is the sweet honey of North Mississippi), so actors go for a generalized Dukes of Hazzard sound.
and butcher it far too often
Yeeeeeeee hawww!
Johnny Depp did a FANTASTIC Scottish accent in Finding Neverland.
I listened to an offshore radio station in Galway: WLS. The DJs all desperately tried to sound American, God knows why. None of my Irish roommates could hear it, but I knew immediately they were not American. And nothing was worse than the American accents in an Australian TV show about a kangaroo (think "Lassie" with big hind legs) called "Skippy."
Gawdddddd willlll nottttt beeeeee mockeddddddd
None of these are as bad as Dick Van Dyke's Cockney accent in _Mary Poppins_ or Kevin Costner's accent in _Robin Hood._
For an older demographic:the hilarious accent of Tony Curtis playing a "medieval knight in armour :" I go to da cassel of my foddah"....
I was in Ireland not long after Far & Away came out. We did a walking tour of Dublin and I asked the tour guide what he thought of the accents of Cruise and Kidman. He said Kidman's wasn't terrible but thought Cruise's was pretty bad.
Well, on the other side of things... I'm gonna have to give Colin Farrell 9/10 for being able to pull off an American accent... although, his Southern Drawl is a bit muddled between Deep-South and Texan
I’d love your opinion on Michael J. Fox and Lea Thompson in Back to the Future III as Seamus and Maggie McFly.
I love your sparkly headphones!
I could listen to Diane's accent all day. Also Maureen O'Hara's. :) i had an Irish American friend who visited there vrry often and could identify the County in Ireland a person came from by their accent.
Reaction vid - The Quiet Man
Oh goodness Diane. Whether you decide to react to it or not, Boondock Saints is a good movie. It's violent as heck, but it's also hilarious. If you don't mind the fake blood, you should certainly check it out. Willam Defoe is wonderful in it. Snatch is also incredibly funny. To me anyway.
Hope you're all having a great day!
Thank you! I must watch
The Irish accent is not so hard. Ia'm doing it right now, and i sound magnificent.
Haha noice
Love you Diane! And everything you do
Thank you! Everything though?!.... sometimes I'm fierce grumpy and also I hate to cook.
Yay your back! was sad there was no video Monday. Love your reaction videos so funny
Thankee it’s nice to be missed. Lots going on behind the scenes!
Well glad your working hard for your loyal subscribers we appreciate it
I find it crazy on how well Irish actors can do an American accent so well. Like Colin Farrell. I guess some accents are easier than others.
True, but you can catch him slip every now and then.
We grow up watching American television and movies. Everyone here knows what a New York accent sounds like. A Texas accent. A “Southern” accent. Most would know Boston, valley girl, maybe Minnesota/North Dakota area.
Americans have very little exposure to real Irish accents by comparison. The occasional actor on a talk show. And even then, nobody watching knows which Irish accent it is. And often mistake Scottish and Welsh for Irish accents.
Just a whole different level of exposure and awareness.
Can relate, it's horrible to listen to actors who aren't from the American South try and replicate the accent. And anyone from the south can identify where you are from by your accent which is not homogeneous but truly distinct by reigon. Appalachia has definite Scot and Irish tints to it while coastal Carolina and Georgia have Welsh and Brit, and gulf coast states have a French and Creole mix.. there actually is a whole field of study into regional dialect you can major in in English studies at most major universities in America! Good vid
Your hair looks so good! What's your hair care routine like?
I love having fun with accents. It's a great way to get a huge laugh with a friend from across the world.
I didn't know there were any Irish Travelers before this video, except maybe in one TV show I might have seen some, but didn't realize they were Travelers at the time. You're probably familiar with the show "Moone Boy", right? I love that they're called "Travelers" now though, instead of being called "Gypsies" like they were when I was a little kid. It's very difficult to really do an accent well unless you study it for a very long time in my experience or you just have an ear for them. I love topics like this.
Could you do a show demonstrating the different Irish dialects? Here in Alabama we sound quite different after a hundred miles or so, and I've noticed different Irish people having completely different sounding accents as well, from barely noticeable to so strong I had trouble picking out their words. Dialects fascinate me and I bet many viewers feel similarly.
A) Omg! I love Philip Defranco too! B) I read a lot of books set in Ireland and "hear" the accent well, but what is funny to me and annoying to those around me is that I start speaking with a lilt. The cadence of my speech changes. Not speaking with an accent, but with an Irish lilt if that makes sense. 😂😂😂 And C) Since I have been watching the Facts & Try channels, I have acquired the word "moreish" (no idea how it is spelled 😋) in my every day life. 😂❤😉 So thanks for that. Anyway, yeah, I find the Irish and Scottish accents the most difficult to get right. Anyway, great video as always. Btw, what types of reactions do you want to do? Movies and TV like you did GoT? Or like all the other YTers? ❤
There's a guy who teaches accents and does videos for WIRED and he's taken a look at some of the same films. One thing he said over and over that I hadn't considered is that often those big actors aren't given enough time to really study the role and the accent enough- resulting in an accent that isn't specific enough to be believable.
Another thing he mentioned is that some accents directly contradict theater training- open up your mouth to project and be heard. For some accents (maybe Irish?) that's affecting the sound.
I think that it’s similar to the US, some of our accents are subtle and some are very pronounced. I notice that with you guys as well. I think your particular accent is subtle, but others have a very thick accent. I feel the same way about the UK too.
Yee-haw?
Sincerely, Triggered from Texas
I’m loving the threat at the start of the video 😂 1:15
And don’t forget to subscribe!
Haha good, but you're already subscribed so... I guess don't unsubscribe?
That was a pure treat, Diane, thanks!
My favourite bad irish accents and depictions of Ireland are from Murder She Wrote episodes and movies set in Ireland haha.
My favourtie is when people talk about loving 'THE' Irish accent, and I'm like which one. Dublin alone has about 4 or 5 different ones lol
"Ooh, it's a bit diddledy-dye" is the funniest thing I've heard Diane say in her videos so far.
I'd love to hear Diane, "Clisare", and Siobhán from Bitsesize Irish sit down together and talk about ... anything, really.
Dialect question for people familiar with the Mayo accent: Do you think the guy who plays Viper on _Hardy Bucks_ really talks like that, or is he exaggerating the accent for the show?
I love the video!!! You always make me giggle!!
Aww! Thank you!
The best would be Maureen OHara (nie O'Sullivan) in The Quiet Man with John Wayne!
Mauren O'Hara was born Maureen Fitzsimons. You may be confusing her with Maureen O'Sullivan another Irish-American actress best known for playing "Jane" in the old Tarzan Movies.
@@GFSLombardo Actually it WAS Maureen O'Hara in the Quiert Man.
Joke's on you! My oven doesn't work 😂😭🤦
There's actually a spot in "Snatch" where Statham is narrating and commenting about Brad's character's accent, saying something like: "It's not Irish, and it's not English. It's just....Pikey".
Ah Diane darlin', now you know how us Southern Americans feel every time we see a movie featuring "Southerners". :-) Also, you've got your headphones on the wrong ears. ;-)
Agreed. You'd think with all the southerners here they could find a real one to play a part once in a while. When you hear a real one in a movie or tv you can pick it up instantly. For instance Eb and Mr. Haney on Green Acres. I knew they were real southerners from the word go. Also George Eads from CSI-I picked him out as a Texan almost immediately, and he doesn't even have a particularly thick accent.
Your point about casting someone like Julia Roberts is spot on. It's called show BUSINESS. When you cast in favor of authenticity over marketability, you get movies like The Guard, which is one of my all time favorites, but, here in the states, about nine people have seen. At the end of the day, you cast people who are gonna sell the most tickets.
Yes, great movie!
I'm pretty good with generic accents but I can't even with Irish. Which kills me. But your point about variances depending on the area is well taken.
😊😊😊
Boondock Saints is a MUST SEE! It's on my Top 10 Most Important Movies Of All Time list!
And in that scene they definitely overdid it, it's not that "Lucky Charms" in basically any other part if the movie. Love that name lol, "Lucky Charms Accent"!
Awww.
"These are pretty old movies..." lol I remember seeing these in films in theaters.
If it's been more than 10 years, it's "old" now.
Y'know, like Charlie Chaplin films.
🤣loveing the threat of mental torture, you can climb into my head any time. Some of these accents are torture any way, hay I'll take mini driver as distant cousin anyday 😉.
Diane is correct...Gabriel Byrne is definitely royalty ❤❤
Kelly Lipera yep love Gabriel Byrne .
Another good video. I don't know if you can find it , but google The Black Donnellys. I twas a show about the Irish mob in Boston or New York. Also I heard one of the girls in Derry Girls is English. I would like to see what you think of her accent.
You can crawl into my brain anytime Diane... anytime! Is that a good chat-up line?
If you do this topic again, please consider Back to the Future III. While not a predominant movie concerning Ireland, Michael J Fox's character Shamus McFly is a Irish immigrant. Would love to hear your thoughts on his portrayal of the Irish accent.
Oh, actors, especially those who have worked in large theaters often over pronounce things. The Theater in which we did “A life” had rafter mikes and only seated maybe two hundred people but we were doing a Tu-Sun performance schedule for three weeks and so we didn’t have to do much to be heard. (Except Sunday matinee in which we had to boost our volume for the many seniors).
The room I did “Witness” for the first time had an old canvass ceiling and was very wide and say maybe 400 so dialogue had to be very crisp and well projected to be heard in the whole house. The place that I did “Witness” the second time with an enormous amount of dialogue was The Atheneum Theater in Chicago. That was built as an opera house and held 350? Maybe more but the acoustics were much better. Still, to hear your voice bouncing off the back wall in an empty house required a good deal of effort in clarity particularly a moment in which I got VERY loud for shock value while facing the Witness in the box for one moment and still be heard whispering to another.
Of course, Sir Wilfred would have a very crisp and precise manner given his education and class.
Do most actors probably over pronounce a little more than they realize and not to have subtitles added in underneath.
"Bums on seats". Every directors dream.
I wrote ads for Tex Brashear, the voice of Lucky the leprechaun of Lucky Charms cereal. He was from Texas. If we could've gotten the kids addicted to sugary potato cereal with a six foot tall John Wayne leprechaun doing his "The Quiet Man" accent we would have.
“It doesn’t hold up” and also other things about how it’s not a good accent yet gives it a 7.5 out of 10?! Omg that’s the most generous rating EVER! There’s no need to be nice to them about it, if they did that bad of a job then give em a 4 or 5 like they deserve!
There is a well known actor named Colm Meaney who is actually from Ireland. When he first auditioned in Hollywood he used his natural Irish accent but was accused of faking it. So he used an exaggerated hollywood lucky charms accent and got parts.
Hearing Diane do a fake "Lucky Charms" Irish accent is hilarious to me for some reason. XD
Yes, that first one made me think I was watching the Leprechaun movie. I don't understand why some of those production companies don't get at least one Irish person on the set to let them know how awful they sound. What about the accent Michael J. Fox did in Back to the Future 3?
So bad
I wonder what you would think of The Quiet Man is a 1952 Technicolor American romantic comedy-drama film directed by John Ford.It stars John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond and Victor McLaglen. All of the outdoor scenes were shot on location in Ireland in County Mayo and County Galway. One of my favorites. No profanity.
You should definitely react to the Boondock Saints! And maybe react to music in the future, that'd be cool!
I like Brad Pitt's accent in Devils Own as it's a very specific West Belfast accent and I have friends who sound just like him
I think his accent was goofy in Snatch.
Brian Wilson It’s a traveller accent. It’s pretty accurate to be honest.
Would have loved to her your take on Meryle Streep in Dancing at Lughnasa. That actress is so great you forget who she really is every movie. She just embodies the character.
Hi A little smile to my weds. Thanks for all ya do!!!
😁😁😁
Love the Monday idea!
If you do another movie accent video; I'd love to know what you think of Anjelica Houston's accent in the movie "The Dead." She is the only American with an otherwise Irish cast. I'd also like to nominate that you react to Menahem Golan's masterpiece "The Apple."
My normal accent confuses people even where I was brought up they look surprised my fault i guess for having a mixed up accent.
Mine too, I am southern, but dont have a deep southern accent.
@@chipparmley Yeah, but boy, don't you hate when someone not from the South (USA) tries to do an accent and it sounds like a butchered "Southern Belle"? "Ahm jest a sweet lil' Suthern Bale from way down yonder in Atlanta!" Yeah, right! ;-)
@@DrummerGrrrl It sets my teeth on edge. They always sound like their dialogue coach was from a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
Hey Diane lovely video.. would like to recommend WestWorld for reaction Mondays next.. and could you do a vid to distinguish between Irish and Northern Irish way of life(not history n stuff) just like day to day difference 😉
A lot of Texans don’t enunciate much, but we also don’t sound like each other and can place each other by dialect.
Also holy crap circle of friends?!?! These are old movies even for me.
Right?!
Honestly you do flat American and hint of tx very well. Lol. Are there really not more recent notable Americans playing Irish in film? 🤔 I can’t think of any others either but...I feel like there have to be more recent movies we’re forgetting...
I have realized I am a fan of Editor Diane, she is great lol. Surprisingly, for such a small country (not a criticism) that y'all have such a wide range of accents. Mind you I ain't never heard an Irish accent I did not like. I remember watching the Canadian show Republic of Doyle, that is supposed to be in Newfoundland, and their accents in the show had a wee bit of what I might have associated with Irish.
New World Irish accents (and there are plenty) have definitely become their own thing over the last couple of centuries (hell, Newfoundland alone probably has at least a half dozen :) and have mutated enough that it would probably take a linguist to trace their ancestry.
Did i catch a monty python quote at the end "i got better" in reference to the witch in monty python and the holy grail " shes a witch, she turned me into a newt, I got better" or maybe it wasn't 😄
Was that the piano from "Heart Like a Wheel" when you were threatening us? For some reason, Andrea Corr wasn't quite so threatening when she sang it...
Haha it’s some stock music but close
Happy Wednesday to you Diane! You always look so lovely! I am in total agreement with you as far as Hollywood's depiction of how the Irish accent should sound. Some of these sound a bit ubsurd and comical. Like Tommy Lee Jones in "Blown Away" and Brad Pitt in "The Devil's Own" for example. I like their films but their accents are pretty comical when you listen to them. I almost forgot about Pitt's accent in "Snatch". It sounds a bit muddled. 😂 Anyways, great video as always Diane. Always enjoy your content. Have a great week my friend and be well. 😊😎
Happy Weird Wednesday!
Was just about to mention the Blown away accent, it was awful. The accents in Patriot games are abysmal as well.
@@DianeJennings You too Diane! Stay weird and lovely! 😊😎
im from philly...i dont have an accent...everyone else does! ;)
I like to say that we in Michigan don't have accents. We just fake everyone else's. ;-)
@@GreenmanDave I find most people cringe at our Michigan accent. It's plugging your nose and talking very high in the throat.
Hi Diane you should be a teacher for accents and tell editor Diane that I saw the fly I get the prize!!!!!
That was a different fly. Prize denied.
Do I smell controversy!! I think editor Diane knows that I'm right the prize is back on..
Reaction video suggestion -- THE QUIET MAN (1952) starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, directed by John Ford
I've suggested this before. Hope she reacts to it soon. Great suggestion.
Far & Away, universally known for the worst Irish accent? You take that back! You take that back right now!
- Julia Roberts in Michael Collins
Joke's on you - I don't have a 2nd floor and I don't wear socks in bed!
For me one of the funniest bad Irish accents in film would have to be Sean Connery in Darby McGill and the Little People - one of the only two films I know of in which he attempted an Irish accent. He succeeded in sounding three parts Scottish, one part Irish and one part lockjaw.
Lea Thompson in Back the the Future 3 is just... amazing. Mr Clint Eastwood, visitin!
You might want to check out the show Peaky Blinders or for a more unusual accent the show Preacher which features a 600 year old vampire from Dublin.
The actor is English, I think. What's funny is the actor who plays The Preacher does a pretty good Southern accent and he's British. He also did a turn as Tony Stark's father in Captain America and I thought his "American" accent was great. In fact, I didn't even know he wasn't American until I saw him on a talk show.
I don't know. I really enjoy the earlier work of creative people. It gives you a better idea of who they really are. I took some of my very favorite photos by accident when I was learning.
My vote is a reaction to -Bambi Vs Godzilla. It's a short film you can find right here on youtube.
I remember that film well. I saw it about 48 years ago in a compilation 'The Best of the Erotic Film Festival" The names is a joke by the way None of the films wee erotic. I also remember that it was really heavy on plot and very light on dialogue. Also, it is vey short. You may want to add a few more reactions to your video.
“It’s a bit didilidi.”
Lmao
Who could forget Sarah Miles, John Mills and Robert Mitchum's accents in Ryan's Daughter?
Another great one Diane...! Maybe you can check out some of the Irish accents in episodes of Sons of Anarchy when SAMCRO is dealing with the IRA 🤔
Another movie you gotta check out...Gangs of New York
Mini Driver in two different places - Jazz Hands! 😎 Can you do a traditional County Kerry accent? My GG grandparents were born there.
