Marisa Donnelly - 👸🏼 After slurping her beverage out of a coffee mug? I think not! Her butler should have served her beverage in a tea cup at the least. He should be giving daily instruction regarding her table manners. Especially, as it seems, that she was quite allowed to run amok whilst she should have beed learning etiquette from nanny and eventually, her governess! 👸🏼 LOL🤣! Hope you are having a great day 💜
I think when thinking about the Queen’s speech it’s also pertinent to remember that 1. Her father had hearing problems; a lot of her slow and “proper” speech comes from that and 2. Her mother is Scottish; some of her pronunciations (mainly vowels) are also thanks to that.
furthermore, her father was not expected to take the throne & thus she and her sister were abruptly put higher in succession mid-childhood. while she would have already been learning etiquette, etc, the nature of the enormous burden suddenly placed upon her father (especially going into wartime) influenced her greatly, as would his (very private at the time) speech therapy. german accents, speech impediment, hearing impairment, those genes all the european families share (e.g. one for haemophilia) likely making her jaw/tongue placement rest in a distinctive manner... all these factors would have affected her manner of speech by default. speaking of speech therapy & etiquette/elocution instruction, Her Majesty was also of the era wherein the "transatlantic" accent was created. the dialect was taught as the "most correct" manner to speak english & was taught to be used for public speaking. this artificial dialect was thus adopted by actors, radio broadcasters, teachers... it is likely that her elocution lessons were based on the dialect.
My mother and I love British tv shows(We are American). Grew up with her mimicking the various characters and accents and so I'd join in too. I'm horrible at doing other accents but think I can do a decent "British" accent bc of all the "practice". 😄
I fear this is true for most ppl! Practice anyway, vocal mimicry develops parts of your mind that allow you to hear sounds in other languages which helps learn to speak them more fluently!
When I hear you giving vocal lessons all I can think of is when my Californian theater group drove our British theater insane with the weird way Californian teens speak. Like how we don’t pronounce the last syllable of our sentences. It was pretty eye opening since none of us realized we had intense accents until the director made us change how we talked.
"Strange vowels" Ain't that the whole English language tho? 😂 Also, I learned that I could sound like the Queen, if I weren't too lazy to speak. Thank you, Jessica.
I'm living in America right now (British-born, but grew up in New Zealand) and CONSTANTLY have to explain that NZ isn't a colony! And I do love it when someone compliments my ability to speak English...I usually shoot back with 'Thanks, you too!" The look of their face is always priceless.
Oh darn!! From an Italian standpoint, now I do understand that when I was taught English at school I was taught the Queen's English!! Which is absolutely fine!! I am in total love with "Lilibeth". I love English, I studied it at university, and I have a masters in English and postcolonial literatures. But now I do understand that when I think about it, I do speak the way she would!! When I don't think about it I speak a mixture of Bre and Ame (my hubby is American, hence my once perfect Bre is now not pure!!!) :-) Thanks for the video, Jess!! Love you, love you Claudia. Big hug to both of you from Italy!!
Lately I've been reading Winnie the Pooh and House at Pooh Corner to my little. I work my own play into the reading of it by practicing different accents for the various characters (I'm American but once upon a time used to teach accents to actors). I do the narrator, Kanga, and Roo in RP (think BBC, with different tones and pacing for each character), Pooh has a gravelly contemporary RP accent, Piglet is Cockney (with a very high squeaky voice), Tigger is from Somerset (because you gotta be able to say "Tiggerrrr"), Owl is Scottish (basically posh Edinburgh), Rabbit has an Estuary accent. I've been struggling with Christopher Robin because he has a much more posh RP closer to the queen, which is one I'm not very good at, so this was actually pretty useful!
I'm an American but I spent a summer studying abroad and my dormitory was in Kensington so I completely get that joke. One time, some of my classmates were having lunch at a café in the area and a little boy there said very petulantly to his mother, "Mummy, I want to go and look at the Ferraris!"
That was so amazingly clear. I feel like I can actually sound like the queen. And you sound so much like her it’s uncanny. Like you said because you have to approach speech in such a scientific, systematic way, you can explain it so much better than someone who just “gets it”.
This is faaantaaaaastic. I absolutely love learning accents, particularly British ones. I am a citizen of the Commonwealth and by golly am I an Anglophile. I don't think you've ever made a video about something that wasn't already a special interest of mine.
I love your videos, they're my favourite. And ahh, that Cornwall joke made me laugh. I have a brummie accent so It isn't posh...at all. Quite the opposite. So maybe I'll give this video a try to dilute the accent a little bit as so many people hate the brummie accent. I do love your natural accent aswell.
Did linguistics at uni and you absolutely nailed this! Your explanations of the differences between ‘queen’s English’ and even RP and most other British accents is really good. Can tell you’ve researched this!
I absolutely adore your sense of humor. The sass is off the charts. I’ve watched this video so many times because I’m obsessed with accents et al. Im going to start saying “ears” in an English accent for “yes” now 😁
I'm from Boston, New England (over the pond) and the Queen's accent as you dictated it sounds almost EXACTLY like our Boston accent, just a bit more posh!! It's unreal how I already knew how to pronounce a lot of those words (especially Worcester) because of my accent here. 🤣
I loved this. You illustrated it perfectly. There's RP and then there's Upper RP which is the older, posher version you see in historicals and the Queen's way of speaking.
I love that you used the phrase "Red, White and Blue fun" because silly Americans seem to think our flag is the only one in the world with those colors (or colours for you Brits). There are dozens, of course. Also, @3:02, that makes a great statement: Batman action! Thanks!!
You sound like her! 👸🤭 Prononciation lessons from a deaf: priceless. (I have an acquaintance who is also deaf, signs and speaks... French. He lost his earing at age 10.)
I adore this. I wonder how much of the Queens speech comes from speaking on the radio as a tween and teen. And how much comes from being taught, presumably by the people who helped her father manage his speech issues.
The intro was really funny and so was the joke at the end !! For the reason behind "tip number 6 : pronouncing every syllable", it sounds a lot like the way french people pronounce words in English, so maybe it's related to that...
Can we talk about how great British food history shows are? I'm talking specifically about shows like Supersizers Go! and Ruth Goodman's historical Farm documentaries. They are so good!
Loved it!! Please do the video you suggested about the UK and GB. As an American I have no idea and you have just ignited a burning desire for this knowledge! I really love accents (yours is best) so I'd love to see more videos on accents. Southern vs Northern British accents, London vs country, Welsh vs ... you get the idea. Thank you!
I think that you found a way to have fun with speech therapy! I'm usually good with accents when learning a different language, but speaking like the Queen stumped me. I kept rolling my r's, which is so wrong. Seeing a new Jessica video in my notifications always makes me happy, and I open it instantly.
YYYAAAASSSS!! SASSY JESSICA!!👏🏻🙌🏻🤣👏🏻🙌🏻🤣👏🏻🙌🏻🤣👏🏻🙌🏻🤣 You Jessica Dear, YOU are Queen! 👑👛👜💷🇬🇧🏴👑! This was quite fun actually! I have a feeling I will be driving my hubby crazy once “The Crown" returns & I start trying to repeat phrases 🤷🏼♀️! Hugs, love & prayers that you are feeling well & enjoying your week, plus necessary mooches to Walter & Tilly 🤗💜🙏🏻😘🐾🐾!
Are you hinting at something at the end🧐? Married, Grandmother, Nanny, Thirty, Only, Nursery, Baby, Invariably, Lovely? (I say, "Interesting".....😉🤗💜🦋)
Great video. I have never been very fond of her accent. But I understand. She was most likely schooled at home and only had family members to talk to. Her children don’t speak that way because they went to school with other people and took more after their speech since they heard that more than their mothers. I love all the videos you have done about the royal family and other British history. I just love history period and your witty, funny take on things makes it even better.
As a voice actor who's very interested in learning what makes certain accents different, this was absolutely fascinating :) Thanks for sharing, and continuing to be a delightful human
I laughed so hard at the crèche-joke! I don‘t know why but this sort of pun gets me every time! Also thank you for the excellent video! Your pronunciation is impressive and I love your way of explaining linguistic phenomena. It‘s really useful and easy to understand, even for a non-native speaker like me.
I really enjoyed this video! My grandmother was a British war bride whom I never had the opportunity to meet, who was originally from Yorkshire but lived in London during WWII. It seems unlikely, but I admit I pretend that she had the Received Pronunciation, and sounded a bit like Jessica!
I loved this so much! Could you make a video about what the British actually mean when they say things like "you must come for dinner" and "would you care for a cup of tea" because I only recently learned that they do not in fact want you to come for dinner and the tea thing is apparently a cue you should leave their house? :')
This video was BRILLIANT!!! ...and thank you for adding the maps for people like me who are from the States (where they felt that we only needed to learn about our own country in schools, lol).
Your explanations of linguistics are truly the clearest I've ever come across, and I have spent a lot of time studying linguistics! I'd love to hear about the mechanisms of different British accents!
This is definitely one of my top 5 favourite videos of yours! Can't wait for more content about the UK and especially about the English language. 💚 I also have a request - could you or your lovely wife please give me tips on learning sign language? I started it this year in college, not English sign language but Polish since it's where I live, and I know they are all different but I need any advice I can get on best ways to practice, remember, not get confused, and honestly simply on how to study a sign language. I had a flare up of my chronic illness and could not attend classes at the beginning of the semester and now I have quite a lot of material to catch up on and I am not dealing well with this (welcome anxiety, panic and doubt, thank you so much for attending...).
While it might be irritating for you as a Deaf person to be always practicing, I really enjoy your recent videos about accents! Could you maybe do one about different accents throughout the UK and specifically England? Another good video might be how wildly different the different sign languages are, and how even those have regional dialects and “accents”! My professor told me that even ASL can be drastically different from DC to a place like Philadelphia which has a rich, long-standing Deaf community. Love your content, looking forward to another video, whatever it may be!
It's a lot like the British dialect for the stage that I learned in performance theatre! The A's that sound like eh were interesting, I liked this a lot!
This was so funny and fun! I love doing accents and I was watching your video while putting makeup on in the morning and absolutely started saying the pronunciations with you. I laughed out loud. Such fun!
Thank you Jessica! ❤️❤️ You saved my day! ❤️ I've had some bad days now, because my best friend just started hanging out with our other class mates and now she talks to me like I'm just someone from our class... I've cried today five times... And I now have just one friend at school, but she's going to Florida for TWO WEEKS... But now, I can take my thoughts away from it and focus to this amazing video! ❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️
jenna Hang in there, Jenna. Just remember, school is a very artificial environment. You’re thrown in with people you like, nice(ish) people but not those you’d socialise with, as well as people who are less than ideal companions. At the same time everyone is at the socially most inept and full of angst, hormones and self doubt. Don’t be fooled by their exterior, no one else is as confident as they seem. Two pieces of advice, try to find an ‘outside school’ group (hobby, dance class, extended family, drama group, volunteer...). This was my life saver. And keep remembering life is in flux at your age, even if it feels like forever, it won’t be really be long before you find your people. Just keep being your lovely self
@@jandobson2768 thank you for advice! ❤️ But it makes it harder that she's my cousin so we've been together all our live. And I have to still see her in our relativa celebrations and everything... But I'm going to new school next year and maybe start a New hobby so I hope I can get new friends from there.
jenna Smart thinking. It’s no excuse, but I’m sure you know your cousin’s behaviour is about her own growing up issues, not you. Don’t be surprised if she acts differently away from school and school friends. And keep in mind, when she grows up a bit (and she will although it might take a while) she’ll be very ashamed of herself and you’ll be able to razz her about “when you got all up yourself” 😀 PS Hope that expression means the same in your country as it does in Australia
I'm really sorry to hear that Jenna, I also lost many friends in school... but don't worry because those were not your real friends, and you will meet amazing people that will be with you forever. In the meantime, internet friends are just as real ❤️ lots of love x
@@jessicaoutofthecloset Yeah, I don't really have internet friends... But life isn't always going right and we have to learn that there is still ppl that love us ❤️ thank you for responding to my comment, it really made my day x
You are amazing! Thanks for tips on adding another accent to my repertoire! I rely on hearing and watching mouths to understand and mimic accents. I'm finding that when watching muted videos with subtitles I can "see" a person's accent. It was surprising to learn I could tell the accent a person had just by watching their mouths!
I really needed this video, I live in Spain and and as you can guess, I speak perfect English. We are doing a essay about a diary for the pilgrims in English class and I wanted to make the most British sounding essay ever, and I was struggling. Thanks.
Lol English isn't even my first language but for some reason I found this video very important to watch! You never know when you'll need to speak like the English royalty! :D
Southern who? Like which country southern? If you mean English Southern It is because London is in the south of England and so it was most affected by the RP accent. If you mean U.S. Southern it’s because American southern has a slower speech patterns (some attribute that to the heat others to the mainly British familial colonization) and longer emphasis on the vowels. Etc. etc. Your comment was very vague...
@@Imtellingyourdad I was thinking the same thing. I live in Kentucky, so we're a bit more Appalachian influenced, but it definitely sounded like old Southern Belle. Especially at the end when she talked about the intonation and flow. It was a remarkable resemblance.

I have no interest in talking like the queen of England, but the beginning of the video was so sassy that I watched the whole thing
same here, also Jessica's impression of the Queen is very funny
Me: *Egyptian and speaks Arabic 24/7* yes yes this is very important I must take notes
You never know when you'll need to speak like a British royal, haha
*paper scribbling intensifies*
Window Maker Oh god same
Noor Azraq ayyyyyy omfg
Window Maker Sudanese though. Guess that makes us neighbors?
I hope the queen sees this and invites you for tea
Marisa Donnelly - 👸🏼 After slurping her beverage out of a coffee mug? I think not! Her butler should have served her beverage in a tea cup at the least. He should be giving daily instruction regarding her table manners. Especially, as it seems, that she was quite allowed to run amok whilst she should have beed learning etiquette from nanny and eventually, her governess! 👸🏼
LOL🤣! Hope you are having a great day 💜
I honestly don't think she would allow someone to drink tea out of straws in her palace.
@@snakebitepellehue lmao you got a point
I have a feeling the queen doesn’t spend hours watching RUclips in bed like the rest of us.
I hope that the Jessica fires the queen from her useless job, monarchy is bad and monarchists should feel bad
After this video, you deserve a role in the Crown!! MAKE IT HAPPEN NETFLIX 😤
Dream. Come. True.
Meredith B - AGREEE!!!! We should bombard their IG page!! 💜🦋
I think when thinking about the Queen’s speech it’s also pertinent to remember that
1. Her father had hearing problems; a lot of her slow and “proper” speech comes from that
and
2. Her mother is Scottish; some of her pronunciations (mainly vowels) are also thanks to that.
And, her grands and great grands were German speakers so the vowels are more back in the throat.
furthermore, her father was not expected to take the throne & thus she and her sister were abruptly put higher in succession mid-childhood.
while she would have already been learning etiquette, etc, the nature of the enormous burden suddenly placed upon her father (especially going into wartime) influenced her greatly, as would his (very private at the time) speech therapy.
german accents, speech impediment, hearing impairment, those genes all the european families share (e.g. one for haemophilia) likely making her jaw/tongue placement rest in a distinctive manner... all these factors would have affected her manner of speech by default.
speaking of speech therapy & etiquette/elocution instruction, Her Majesty was also of the era wherein the "transatlantic" accent was created. the dialect was taught as the "most correct" manner to speak english & was taught to be used for public speaking. this artificial dialect was thus adopted by actors, radio broadcasters, teachers... it is likely that her elocution lessons were based on the dialect.
i was just thinking that some of her pronunciations sounded a bit scottish! this is cool to know~
BattyButtercup very interesting!
BattyButtercup Indeed; excellent points all. Leads to wonder about the Queen’s DNA. Wonder what percentage of her bloodline is still German.
oh yes my mother will love me and not absolutely smack me as I talk like this for the rest of the year
DO IT!
My mother and I love British tv shows(We are American). Grew up with her mimicking the various characters and accents and so I'd join in too. I'm horrible at doing other accents but think I can do a decent "British" accent bc of all the "practice". 😄
Sorry, I read this in "the accent" now she'll have to smack both of us. Hehehehehe.
I fear this is true for most ppl! Practice anyway, vocal mimicry develops parts of your mind that allow you to hear sounds in other languages which helps learn to speak them more fluently!
I am a linguist, and this made me very, very happy.
Scouse, next, please.
"Just keep saying 'ears' when you mean 'yes'" ...I died
Is there WiFi in hell?
👏SHE👏MADE👏THE👏VIDEO👏
When I hear you giving vocal lessons all I can think of is when my Californian theater group drove our British theater insane with the weird way Californian teens speak. Like how we don’t pronounce the last syllable of our sentences. It was pretty eye opening since none of us realized we had intense accents until the director made us change how we talked.
Oh dear, I'm made self conscious of the 'last syllable dropping' I NEVER NOTICED IT, WHAT.
I love hearing Claire Foy say "Thank you" in the Crown because she says "thenk yoh". SHE'S SO CUUUTE.
Which season and episode?
My singer/language obsessed ass is LIVING for the IPA and accent training in this video!!!!
Rebekah Grace dude same
I loved the joke at the end! Niche phonetics/linguistics jokes are my favorite :D
It should be posted to the "Silly Linguistics" group on facebook.
I know what they say about explaining jokes but can someone explain it?
@@the_demon_cat337 the Kensington accent pronounces the word “crash” like “cresh”
Thank you!
Learning the queen's accent from someone who can't hear is but one of the many joys of this channel!
*italian and usually talks in a more american way* yeah- the Queen's accent, take notes
The Queen talks just like everyone outside UK imagines how British people talk
you mean like AMERICANS think all Brittish people talk =_=
@@hypnotherapy69 WE IMAGINE THE DOWNTON ABBY ACCENT NOT THE QUEEN
Nah I imagine Jessica's accent in general. Even I, a mere Latin American native Spanish speaker, can tell her accent is Posh™
American we tend to imagine the upper class posh one or the worst cockney ascent you have ever heard
"Strange vowels" Ain't that the whole English language tho? 😂

This is definitely one of my top 5 favourite videos of yours! Can't wait for more content about the UK and especially about the English language. 💚
I also have a request - could you or your lovely wife please give me tips on learning sign language? I started it this year in college, not English sign language but Polish since it's where I live, and I know they are all different but I need any advice I can get on best ways to practice, remember, not get confused, and honestly simply on how to study a sign language. I had a flare up of my chronic illness and could not attend classes at the beginning of the semester and now I have quite a lot of material to catch up on and I am not dealing well with this (welcome anxiety, panic and doubt, thank you so much for attending...).
jokes on me since i started watching jessica's videos my accents been leaning more bbc british than ever
yes I was watching her a lot yesterday too and I temporarily went British even though I’ve lived all my life in the US 😂
Super interesting and well done! “Ear” for “yes” was perfect.
While it might be irritating for you as a Deaf person to be always practicing, I really enjoy your recent videos about accents! Could you maybe do one about different accents throughout the UK and specifically England? Another good video might be how wildly different the different sign languages are, and how even those have regional dialects and “accents”! My professor told me that even ASL can be drastically different from DC to a place like Philadelphia which has a rich, long-standing Deaf community. Love your content, looking forward to another video, whatever it may be!
It's a lot like the British dialect for the stage that I learned in performance theatre! The A's that sound like eh were interesting, I liked this a lot!
I love the attitude! You are hilarious!
This was so funny and fun! I love doing accents and I was watching your video while putting makeup on in the morning and absolutely started saying the pronunciations with you. I laughed out loud. Such fun!
"ears", what a concept!
You can really see how much effort you put into your videos :)
Loved this video! Would love to see more!
Also please yes explain the difference between the UK and Great Britain!
Ooh! That was absolutely smashing my dear 💐
Thank you Jessica! ❤️❤️ You saved my day! ❤️ I've had some bad days now, because my best friend just started hanging out with our other class mates and now she talks to me like I'm just someone from our class... I've cried today five times... And I now have just one friend at school, but she's going to Florida for TWO WEEKS... But now, I can take my thoughts away from it and focus to this amazing video! ❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️
jenna Hang in there, Jenna. Just remember, school is a very artificial environment. You’re thrown in with people you like, nice(ish) people but not those you’d socialise with, as well as people who are less than ideal companions. At the same time everyone is at the socially most inept and full of angst, hormones and self doubt. Don’t be fooled by their exterior, no one else is as confident as they seem.
Two pieces of advice, try to find an ‘outside school’ group (hobby, dance class, extended family, drama group, volunteer...). This was my life saver. And keep remembering life is in flux at your age, even if it feels like forever, it won’t be really be long before you find your people. Just keep being your lovely self
@@jandobson2768 thank you for advice! ❤️ But it makes it harder that she's my cousin so we've been together all our live. And I have to still see her in our relativa celebrations and everything... But I'm going to new school next year and maybe start a New hobby so I hope I can get new friends from there.
jenna Smart thinking. It’s no excuse, but I’m sure you know your cousin’s behaviour is about her own growing up issues, not you. Don’t be surprised if she acts differently away from school and school friends. And keep in mind, when she grows up a bit (and she will although it might take a while) she’ll be very ashamed of herself and you’ll be able to razz her about “when you got all up yourself” 😀
PS Hope that expression means the same in your country as it does in Australia
I'm really sorry to hear that Jenna, I also lost many friends in school... but don't worry because those were not your real friends, and you will meet amazing people that will be with you forever. In the meantime, internet friends are just as real ❤️ lots of love x
@@jessicaoutofthecloset Yeah, I don't really have internet friends... But life isn't always going right and we have to learn that there is still ppl that love us ❤️ thank you for responding to my comment, it really made my day x
You are amazing! Thanks for tips on adding another accent to my repertoire! I rely on hearing and watching mouths to understand and mimic accents. I'm finding that when watching muted videos with subtitles I can "see" a person's accent. It was surprising to learn I could tell the accent a person had just by watching their mouths!
Welch is fascinating. I watch Welch shows on Netflix and Britbox. Your experience with Welch might be fun. 😊
As an Irish woman, I really shouldn’t be taking these tips. But I love you and your voice is so soothing.

Boy was it a mistake to look away from the screen while you were saying this.
No. Please no
Why did you have to point that out
Oh wow. I see it now... 😳
I knew which bit you were talking about without even having to look >_>
I thought that too! I was in hysterics! 😂😂
This entire comment section is cursed
omgggg you actually sound like the queen😂😂😂😂😂
I watched this twice in a row. This was amazing!
I love your fun facts! 💓
I really needed this video, I live in Spain and and as you can guess, I speak perfect English. We are doing a essay about a diary for the pilgrims in English class and I wanted to make the most British sounding essay ever, and I was struggling. Thanks.
Ah thanks! This was a lovely way to start my morning.
As an English Scot independence campaigner your intro was EPIC & Cornwell topped it off. 🤣😂🤣😂
Lol English isn't even my first language but for some reason I found this video very important to watch! You never know when you'll need to speak like the English royalty! :D
I loved the joke
And why does the accent sound kinda southern. But that's probably me
Southern who? Like which country southern? If you mean English Southern It is because London is in the south of England and so it was most affected by the RP accent. If you mean U.S. Southern it’s because American southern has a slower speech patterns (some attribute that to the heat others to the mainly British familial colonization) and longer emphasis on the vowels. Etc. etc.
Your comment was very vague...
I would say American southern
I forgot about the types of southern
Very sure I've seen articles before about the connection between English and the southern American accent.
@@Imtellingyourdad I was thinking the same thing. I live in Kentucky, so we're a bit more Appalachian influenced, but it definitely sounded like old Southern Belle. Especially at the end when she talked about the intonation and flow. It was a remarkable resemblance.
I don’t know if I can do this with my Scottish accent 😂 also the crèche joke made me laugh 😂
Same
Various definitions of 'pudding' - sweet, savoury, dessert, main course, etc!
I need a video on the Essex accent and how it came to be it facinates me so much !!!
