Should i do on it a project for school

I am a speech and language therapy (bachelors) degree student in the UK and have an aspiration to become a dialect coach one day. I was wondering what the steps would be. Thank you!

I’m trying to learn how to speak in a 60s-70s accent/dialect for a project. I don’t know much about linguistics, so forgive me if I sound like I don’t know what I’m talking about. Would I go about this by exposing myself to older media and/or practicing this particular manner of speech? If anyone knows how I can learn to speak this way accurately, please let me know.

I caught myself using "way prefer" as in "I way prefer smth over smth" when texting with someone today and something was feeling off about that expression.

I googled to see if it is a thing and I did see some native speakers use it on social media, but I also saw a thread on r/englishlearning where one native speaker advised an English learner to use it, to some confusion (and aggression lol) from other native speakers

This brings me to my question: does this expression have any particular area or social group where it occurs? Or is it just bad hearing/spelling similar to "he shouldn't of"?

Hello! I’d like to send some feelers out for possible resources for dialects, specifically the Cuban accent. I’m having a hard time locating material. If anybody would be kind enough to point me into the right direction that would be much appreciated:)

I've lived in the DC suburbs my whole life and I've always wondered what the accent of people specifically native to the area - born and raised here- is called, or if there is one at all (I suppose everyone has some sort of accent).

It's an area full of "transplants" so there isn't anything obvious or that stands out because so many people grew up with other accents and moved here.

Can someone please translate and let me know what this says and what language it’s written in.

I'm middle class and going into an environment where the way I talk may be misconstrued.

I am very aware why this should not be done, but such is life; I also think it sounds better as my parents speak with received pronunciation.

Current accent is southern English middle-class.

Many than is for any help, not even sure this is the correct place to post this.

Hi everyone! I've been getting into table top RPGs, like D&D, more specifically Cyberpunk Red and I have a Russian character who is learning how to speak Spanish.

Does anyone have any resources or recommendations on how I can better my Russian accent but also have that accent appear when I say words in Spanish?

One phrase I have in mind is, "Hasta la vista."

Thank you!

I try to talk like everyone else and not use a monotone voice but according to my mom I still talk differently and I think it would be better for me socially and career wise if I could talk like a neurotypical person and I was wondering if going to a dialect coach would fix it if I put in the effort or if there is another profession that specializes in that more?

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any resources they could share with me about speaking English with a Swedish accent? I am in a play right now and really struggling with the accent. I have tried googling and YouTube and I’m having the hardest time finding a good resource.

I feel like other accents have TONS of tutorials (at least, I’ve had great luck finding them) but I’m really struggling here! Thanks in advance!

I am a male (18) born and raised in Houston Texas and I have a very very thick southern accent, even though everyone my age from this urban of an area does not. My dad and grandparents have thick accents too but it’s the same way with a lot of my friends and yet they have a much lighter accent, if they have one at all. Why do I have one?

Like the title asks! Looking for something like Daniel Jones' RP Pronunciation Dictionary, but for an Irish dialect. Anybody know where I could find something like this?

Hi all. My friend, whose mother is from Perth, Australia but has effectively assimilated to a PNW/West Coast American accent, pronounces “important” like “imporahnt”. I lovingly laugh-scream at her and tell her “important like the ‘t’ in that word?!” as it is a top three pet peeve of mine. She claims it is a vestigial trait of her Australian heritage. I disagree and consider it an American West Coast ‘pocket dialect’. We are here, with respect, for your educated and professional opinions and insight into the origin(s) of the “imporahnt” pronunciation of the word ‘important’.

NB: this is the only pronunciation she has that deviates from a ‘standard’ PNW/American West Coast dialect.

Thank you and Happy New Year!

I’m a young professional looking to change my accent to sound more British.

How do I go about finding a coach? I understand this is a service often used by actors but my budget may be slightly limited.

I’d appreciate some advice.

Hello. I'm an English teacher and I help students with conversation but also pronunciation. I really helping with pronunciation and I've learned a lot doing it. However, I was thinking it could be good to study a course to learn even more about it and maybe also work with actors and other people in addition to English students. Any tips for how to do this? Thanks!

I moved from New Zealand to the US in my 20s, have been here almost 10 years now. My accent has completely faded. Any tips on how to get it back? I rarely visit home and don’t speak to my kiwi friends on the phone often. Help!

I am asking this as a teacher because accents are normally considered one of those things impossible to change. There is a lot of evidence we can get them good at faking it but these normally tend to fall
a part under communicative stress even with dozens of hours of practice.

What do you call the peculiarly over-enunciated super-precise but obviously imperfectly-understood kind of speech that British police officers and British non-commissioned officers are frequently portrayed as using?

For example, the Bobby in the song/story "Don't Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll" by Long John Baldry, or the Color Sergeant Major in "Zulu"?

It comes off as someone from a lower class trying very hard to emulate the speech or especially the vocabulary of their superiors.

Anyone got a line on this?

I have a co-worker that is from Fiji. His accent kind of sounds Indian, but his sentence structure, syntax, and word emphasis makes it difficult sometimes for me to really understand what he is saying. I can do Indian accents. I can get those just fine. But his Fijian accent is different.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to better understand and comprehend what he is saying?

Hey! I want to become an accent coach (I'm studying linguistics) and I'm wondering which kind of techniques do you use to help actors or voice-over artists to master an accent. I'm a selfteached accent speaker (if that's a thing) but when it's time to teach other people, it becomes more complicated.

Thanks a lot,

Marc!

Hello. Would like use identify the accent of a YouTuber. I don’t want to post the video. It features pet abuse. So any help/advice on who to reach out to would be appreciated. Thank you!

Also-the vids have been reported to YouTube with no success.

edited for grammar.
