Hollywood Dialect Coach Figures Out Who Is Faking An American Accent

好萊塢方言教練找出誰在偽造美國口音？

Hi everyone, my name is Jack Wallace, and I'm a dialect coach here in Los Angeles.

大家好，我叫傑克-華萊士，我是洛杉磯的方言教練。

Today we're gonna try and figure out who has a real American accent and who is faking it.

今天我們要試著找出誰是真正的美國口音，誰是假的。

One of the things that can happen when you're doing an accent is that it's terrifying, and so I'm gonna be looking out for who seems a little nervous and how thrown they are by my questions.

當你在做口音的時候，有一件事會發生，那就是它很可怕，所以我會留意誰看起來有點緊張，以及他們被我的問題拋出的程度。

- [Interviewer] Any immediate guesses

- [採訪者]任何即時的猜測

just based (nervous laughing) on their faces?

只是根據（緊張的笑）他們的臉？

If I had to make a wild guess, I'd be down to two out of five right now.

如果要我胡亂猜測的話，我現在只剩下五分之二了。

Hi, my name is Teddy, and this is my natural accent.

嗨，我叫泰迪，這是我的自然口音。

Hi, my name's Elise, and this is my natural accent.

嗨，我叫伊利斯，這是我的自然口音。

Hi, my name's Nadia, and this is my natural accent.

Hi, my name is Rachel, and this is my natural accent.

嗨，我叫瑞秋，這是我的自然口音。

Hi, my name is Blake, and this is my natural accent.

嗨，我叫布雷克，這是我的自然口音。

One of the things that happens when we talk in an accent that isn't our own is that we kind of have this imposter syndrome feeling.

當我們用不是我們自己的口音說話時，會發生的一件事就是，我們會有這種冒牌貨的感覺。

And then some people might just not like to be on camera.

然後有些人可能就是不喜歡上鏡。

So (laughing)!

所以（笑）!

[Interviewer] So we'll have you ask each person a question.

[採訪者]所以我們會讓你問每個人一個問題。

Nadia was also one of the people that was quite nervous when she came in.

納迪婭也是進來時相當緊張的人之一。

But then when she was tell me about Iowa, it's a very specific place to choose, so either that's a good strategy or she's actually from there.

但是後來她在跟我說愛荷華的時候，這是一個很特殊的地方，所以要麼是一個很好的策略，要麼就是她其實是來自那裡。

And then Blake on the end.

然後布雷克在最後。

If you're gonna go for an American accent sometimes people go to the South first because they're like, oh I get to disguise this better.

如果你要去美國口音，有時候人們會先去南方，因為他們會想，哦，我可以更好地偽裝這個。
