Why American Actors Suck At British Accents

I'm British, but sometimes when I'm using voice chat in games people think I'm just an American doing a bad British accent. Apparently even I can't do a good British accent.

I’m British my friends think I’m American because of my voice,it’s kinda irritating...

@quan Brooklyn kid and note I said English accents, even though you said UK. The idea that Scottish or Northern Irish accents would be confused with English ones is just too ridiculous to even comment on.

I'm Scottish, so Siri never had any idea what I was on about until I developed my Californian accent.

Well, Sir Savage the 21st nailed both american and british accents

shut up u nonce

Matt Schumacher He probably did before he came to America and lost it.

My default British accent: “ELLO GOVNA”

Mini Jay I’m British and I have no idea why people say that same phrase

Tbf I struggle to do a welsh accent and I’m welsh

@Ben Rodhouse Lol. You're 1/16 Welsh? What's the point in even considering that. It's nothing.

I’m a 16th welsh and I can do a great welsh accent just try saying here as hyur

He’s faking an American accent the whole time

@MaggiePayne916 Well I mean certain Canadian accents have parallels with certain Irish ones. Most notably the Newfie accent, which sounds more Irish than Canadian, but even the rural Ontarian accent has the same ou sound as Northern Ireland, and a few other traits as well. Like the ar sound, which Nova Scotia also has, and they have it really strongly, to the point it's just any vowel followed by R. Hell I think part of why the Quebecor accent has a hard th instead of the soft one that France French...

@RobotikEmpire yah what's your point? they have specific things in their accent too just like everywhere else

Tom Hardy and James McAvoy are accent chameleons

Nah. Cate Blanchett. And Hugh Jackman is usually pretty good too.

Tom Hardy? I need subtitles to understand him, his accent is mumbling

Americans haven’t had to worry about sounding British since 1776 lol

Nitya Tinn Tathatsu no shit glad you shared that basic information

America was once colony of British. Ik lots of ameriCUNTs dod’t know that bc they are dumb :l

Not just British accents but they are EXTREMELY terrible at Australian accents! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️😬

Before Heath Ledger became famous a lot of Americans on film forums criticized his performance in 10 Things I Hate About You and said that if they wanted the character to be Australian they should have hired an Australian instead of Heath and his "bad Australian accent." They just wouldn't believe that he was really Australian. I don't know what they were hearing when he spoke 😂I know a lot of Americans think Wentworth is a "British" (I always assume they mean English) show thoug...

I grew up with australian friends and talked to them all the time so I naturally learned how to talk like an aussie. it’s weird though cuz I can’t do british perfectly 😂

Fun fact, that dude is like 6’7” lol... I got to work with him on an HBO pilot. Nice guy.

He says on his own channel that he’s taller than Conan O’Brien😂

But he has a tiny cock!
