Why is it that British people can play Americans and no one notices but Americans who play characters with British...

Peter Dinklage is a fine actor though and he’s no model. His accent though just sounds like what you would think an American failing to sound English would sound like.

Because America is huge as fuck and has a history of accepting multilingual immigrants from around the world. There is no one American accent and even in regional dialects there is variation.

Britain, on the other hand, is small as fuck. They have less immigration and dialects are small isolated language communities.

What this means is that when an American hears any "American" accent he attributes any inconsistency to regional/cultural variation, which can be extreme. Whereas, since Britain has so much less variation, it becomes quite easy to notice mistakes.

His O’s are horrible. He says them ohuuuuu.

Nonsense. Americans kick the shit out of Britfags in pretty much everything since the country was founded. Seriously you fuckers would be the smallest province of Russia right now if it weren't for us. You lost almost 250 years ago. Get the fuck over it already.

This makes sense. I doubt a Brit could sound like, say, Kathy Bates.

Say what? The only brit actor that has anything close to believable american accent is Dominic West.

They made an inside joke of it that was pretty funny.

the strange thing is that he actually has a bizarre accent in person even though he's from new jersey. maybe he had some foreign parents or something.

To be fair when anyone sees Hugh Laurie stand straight up, they instantly identify him as British from his complete lack of a chin/jaw line.

I believe that's called the ole chimney sweep or the Dick Van Dyke.

kek, you must be an amerifag.

Yeah, nah. If watching a bunch of British panel shows have taught me anything its that every square mile of Britain has its own different goofy sounding accent.

Neither can. They both sound like shit trying to imitate.

>Most of the British people on this show sound like fake British accents. Am American BTW ;)

A lot of them are from scotland or ireland, so suppressing it with an english accent can be just as hard. Robb Stark sounds like a nitwit in his regular accent.

Nothing worse than a fake okie accent. Rick grimes maybe the worst example

Nah. I was impressed with Frodo and Sam in LotR, though. Couldn't find fault with their accents. Dinklage is obviously American.

I'm from the Deep South and I have to turn movies off when some Hollywood douche tries to do a southern accent.

I don’t think anyone on GoT attempts to do a consistent accent of any kind. Lord of the Rings was guilty of this as well to be fair.

for me (and for lots of others into black chicks I'm assuming) it's a sexualized part of their race. it'd be pretty hot to fuck a good looking black chick if she were telling me to call her a nigger and shit, i dunno

It just proves that Eurofags literally ALL Fake their "accents" to try and get pussy

Sean Astin's accent was pretty good but Elijah Wood's was awful

that's a Westerosi accent, Britain doesn't exist in GoT you idiot

Every square mile would be an exaggeration, but I live 7 miles away from Sheffield, and we call Sheffielders dee dahs because of how they speak. The difference is that great.

I don't think precise accent training is part of any drama course.

He's from Sheffield. Horrible city, tbqh.

why is his accent so fancy sounding.

Their accents were fine but they weren’t quite British were they?

>and that was when it became clear that user didn't have the first semblance of an idea on the subject he was discussing

That sounds hot but I’m pretty sure I would need that, and I would only enjoy hitting it from behind. I don’t think I’d even enjoy kissing her or playing with her big black tits.

They were doing convincing English accents. What fantasy realm their characters came from is irrelevant.

Bruh only like 2% of slave owners even owned a plantation let alone multiple slaves. 98% of slave owners only had 1 slave, at most 2.

british people are per capita better at acting. i don't know if this is more about the talent of the individual actors or the abilities of the directors. From what I've seen of British television, I've noticed that even the shittiest low-budget Victorian crime dramas have better acting than the standard North American Sci-Fi channel show. I think Brits are just better inclined to thesbianism.

It's just an ordinary Sheffield accent, which I think he plays down a bit. He doesn't say thee and thine, like most of them do.

It's hard for me to take criticism of accents too seriously anymore. People will be mad that someone sounds like a stereotype but then I watch a documentary or a show from that country that's exactly how some of them sound. Then if a european actor spends time doing an american accent and then goes back to their original accent - unchanged at all by the way - people from that same euro country will claim that's not their accent.

So it's all a fucking fickle fuckfest of fools who don't know shit about their own country or are looking to be offended by the direction the wind blows in.

Does this sound fancy? It's common as muck mate.

No, my point was that the worst British TV shows are leagues better at acting than the worst American TV shows.

Thanks for spreading your cancer onto the world you faggot.
You probably think the Nazis were the bad guys too.

As an Amerifag, I think this is complete bullshit. Certainly, they'd be dead if not for the lend-lease acts, but in the post-war era they made an immeasurable recovery. Part of that recovery included the television adaptation of motherfucking Poirot, so fuck you. They did Monty Python as well. Countless cultural artifacts have come out of post-war Britain. Fuck yourself.

Kelly MacDonald's a Scot.

I think with him they just had no choice. How many dwarf actors are out there?

He's clearly American, the british accent he's trying to do slips up every now and then

Sheffield itself has like four different accents according to a friend from there.

>Gone With the Wind
All mid Atlantic old timey accents.

Linguistic professor here. I can tell you why in easy terms. American is actually what British people sounded like back before American became a thing. The British language has become a horrible combination of many regional dialects, while American is the purer form of English. Say about that what you will, but history proves it and the research many in my community have done shows the path it has taken to reach this point. New Zealand recently won the sexiest accent in the world award, because they are a wonderful hybrid of British posh and American casual, making for an easy sounding English that remains able to enunciate each syllable. Try listening to a British lower class person versus an American southerner; you will still understand the American better, as they are still speaking most of the word instead of just the consonants like British do now.

Dude in the old world your neighbour next village could not even speak the same language, same is grand-grandpa

And while we're on the topic, Brits also created the term soccer and changed it after rugby became a thing.

>American is actually what British people sounded like back before American became a thing.
I thought that was a meme. How does it make sense for the entire population of Britain to change their accents because people 3000 miles away that they don’t even associate with anymore may or may not sound like them?

I always notice a British person using an American accent. It just sounds *too* American. Fassbender is a good example.

USA was isolated, Britain is a small part of Europe, migrating to it and consequentially fucking up the language is easier

What they mean is that the rhotic r was more common in Middle English than it is in modern English, but the retarded take this to mean that we sounded American, when we actually sounded more like pirates.

>New Zealand recently won the sexiest accent in the world award
Imagine. I believed the post up to this point

Same reason why they put extraneous vowels into words once english replaced latin as the literary standard.

even if you dislike brits, you have to admit they have best actors.

British actors are technically better at accents in general, but they all tend to use the same accent: monotone, vocal fry, emphasized vowel sounds, and a half-drawl. Once you hear it you can't unhear it. Benedict Cumberbatch is a prime example (although he sounded better in Infinity War). youtube.com/watch?v=M9fFPLrO3RU

Britain meanwhile has literally a different accent and dialect for every city and town

Britain has an insane variety of regional accents. Supposedly, the accent changes on average every 70 miles, and the difference can be enormous.
Compare the Welsh accent to Scouse, the West Country, Orkney, the Queen's English, etc. We grow up to be acutely aware of accents because some of them barely even sound like English.

The regional variety in accents in America is less intense and less pronounced. A guy from Baltimore and a guy from Philadelphia don't sound that different, compared to a guy from Liverpool and a guy from Manchester. So Americans don't really have to pay too much attention to accents, or develop any kind of ear for them.

Retard. Soccer was slang for football in certain areas, short for association football, like tenner is slang for ten pounds, it was called football prior and it was called football after. Nothing to do with Rugby, Rugby was named after the place it was invented.

They're the new Brits

Liverpool is 35 miles away from manchester. Inverness to briton is 570. So that's 6% distance.
Baltimore to Phili is 100 miles, new york to san franciscois 3000 miles, so 3%.
There should be over twice the difference in accent from Liverpool to Mancher then there is from Baltimore to Phily.
If you want a better comparison, make it Batlmore to NYC, or Phily to Rhode Island.
