"Accent is the soul of language; it gives to it both feeling and truth." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

They say that accents say a lot about you. An accent tells us about your past, where you came from, and generally what kind of person you could be. What does yours say about you? Hi, everyone, my name is Hubert and I’ll be your host for today’s Pronunciation Challenge. So we’re talking about accents today! The person in today’s video is a voice actress and she is very talented! She is capable (capable meaning being able to do something) of numerous accents ranging from London accents to the old Hollywood Transatlantic accent! I can barely manage a London accent. I can’t even imagine being able to do as much as her! I did, however, learn a bit in acting school. I’ll try some, horribly, for your entertainment after the featured sentence!

Today’s featured sentence:
One of the reasons I think that I took to voice work and dialect work is because I'm more in tune with hearing.

One of the reasons I think that I took to voice work and dialect work is because I'm more in tune with hearing.


Ok, now time for the Pronunciation Tips.


For the first word, we have a blended combination!
“One of”
Instead of separating the two words, blend it together to give you something like this. “One-nuf”. That’s it! We native speakers tend to get lazy so we don’t even finish pronouncing some words sometimes.

Next up, we have
dialect
Three syllables
The first syllable, “dia” sounds like the word “die”, like to live and die. The second syllable “a” actually has a short U sound. The last syllable, “lect” has a soft C or K sound, but make sure the T sound at the end is stronger. “LECT”. Dialect.

Lastly, we have,
Tune
One syllable.
Remember the magic E rule? Make sure to say the letter U and stretch it to give you “une”. Tune.


Moving on to Vocabulary!

The first word is:
1. reason
Definition
the cause of an event or situation or something that provides an excuse or explanation
Used in a sentence you could say,
"What is the reason for not getting your work in on time?"

Next word,
2. dialect
Definition
a form of a language that people speak in a particular part of a country, containing some different words and grammar, etc.
Used in a sentence, you could say:
"I actually speak a Chinese dialect that many people haven't heard of."

And lastly,
3. tune
Definition:
If you are in tune with people or ideas, you understand or agree with them, and if you are out of tune with them, you do not.
Used in a sentence, you could say:
"I feel that actors are more in tune with their emotions than most people."

Alright, here goes. Back in acting school, my teacher made us say this sentence to practice our Boston accent. (Boston is a city in Massachusetts, USA). “Park your car in Harvard Yyard.” Notice how different the “A R” combination sounds are? A lot of different states in the US have different accents. An example of a New York accent would be the word coffee. Listen carefully. “Coffee”. Then there is the English accent. You have to be specific though! If you want the received pronunciation, make sure you pronounce every consonant. Instead of little, say “little”. With the “E R” endings, less emphasis on the R sound. It becomes lighter with the received pronunciation. Brother becomes, “brother”. There’s another form of an English accent though. There’s the Cockney accent which is a lot different to the received pronunciation. “Brother”, in this case, becomes, “bruvah”. That’s why you sometimes hear people refer to others as “bruv”. I could go on but listen, having an accent is totally fine. It’s actually attractive to have an accent! As long as I could understand you, I think it’s fine.

Alright, let me hear all your lovely accents with your recordings! Make sure you get them in before leaving! Also, make sure you hit me up on Instagram if you haven’t already at hughtran_. Until the next episode, bye!
