I had three accents after spending years 0-4 in New Zealand, then 4-7 in Australia, then 7-38 in Canada, then 38 to present (44) in Australia again. Everyone in every country hears my accent as foreign now.
Untalented has been never was
Oh no. She got the buccal fat removal, didn’t she? She looks like she’s 45.
Accents aren’t as static as people think they are. I know many people whose accents change depending on who they are with. It makes total sense that an English person who moved to the US as a child would sound more English around English people and American around American people. It doesn’t mean she’s faking.
Dude I’m from Missouri and I grew up having that hick twang, maybe not as thick as other friends or family members, but it’s there. I live in the west coast now and went through a school that trained dialect out of us, I fs sound different, but you bets believe that when I get a lil drunk or I’m back home that shit comes roaring back
Honestly, I only learned about a month ago that Millie Bobby Brown’s British. I don’t listen to interviews of her, only having seen her talk in Stranger Things.
Fiancé? How old is she? I feel like her child to grown up life in the spotlight is not going to go so well.
Why is this a big deal it’s natural. I am Jamaican when I’m around other Caribbbeans and my family I will speak with the accent I grew up in. I moved to England as a teenager and I can speak with a British accent without even a hint of my jamaican accent. I went boarding school as well so I have a posh British accent and just the typical London accent. So I switch between patois, London accent and a posh british accent depending on who i’m speaking with and who I’m around.
My parents always did this as well they’d be speaking to English people and would mimic how they speak which I always found funny. Maybe they were self-conscious about being understood as I had a hard time at school with teachers not understanding my accent and my jamaican accent isn’t even very strong that it is hard to understand.
Such a non issue lol
Teenagers adapt fairly quickly to local accents. I dont get the big deal.
Slow day in the news?
People code switch and mimic the accents of their surroundings all the time. I’m British, living in Canada now, and speaking with Canadians, my accent has definitely changed and picked up a twang (oftentimes unbeknownst to me)
Her lips changed.
As soon as I land back home at Logan Airport I’m all like, “FAKHIN KEHHHD!!!”
Wgaf
This is the dumbest sub when it comes to actual entertainment, I swear.
Crazy, average actress accent changes
A few glasses of bourbon brings my Southern drawl out. I can’t help it.
It’s a psychological phenomenon called linguistic accommodation. You just start gradually sounding more like the people you’re surrounded with regularly
Need I remind the audience that she permanently moved to America (specifically Orlando) when she was like 8.
Looks when you have to switch between acting in American movies and movies set in England I can see how it would cause accent changes.
Some people have too much time on their hands.
People change accents all the time depending on the individual and who you are with.
It happens to my brother really fast and he doesn’t realise it. If someone he is talking to has a strong accent, his own will start to change as the conversation goes on.
My mom’s accent changes when she is talking to people from her home county.
Grew up on East Coast. Went to college in one part of the Midwest. Settled down in another part of the Midwest.
When I go home to visit they tell me I lost my accent and they cannot understand me. When I am in the Midwest they tell me I have an accent and they cannot understand me.
I have two choices:
1. Get new friends & family
2. Get an entirely new accent
Everyone in here using this thread as an opportunity only to talk about their own accents has me in stitches.
Saw a GQ interview where she did that. Happened in such a way I just dismissed it as a result of her background being a bit all over the place.
My experience with this post:
1. It’s getting late. I’m watching dumb tv, half paying attention, and scrolling Reddit.
2. I’m intrigued by this post. I enjoyed Stranger Things. What’s this about 11?
3. I open the thread, click the article and begin reading.
4. Wait… Am I reading an article about someone in their early 20s whose accent is affected by where they live?
5. Yes. I am…
6. Reflection: Why am I here? I’m better than this. You’re better than this. We’re all better than this.
Gary Oldman hired a dialect coach to help him regain his original accent after he’d seemingly lost it due to all the American characters and films he was making. It happens
She should hire Walt Worsch
I don’t know why but I read “I’m trying my best” in Salma Hayek’s voice lol
Doesn’t Christian Bale literally change his accent based on the interviewer and the audience they play to? It’s not abnormal for those in the industry to pander to their fan base while in that country. It’s not specifically a negative.
And her working in the US and living here means she’s likely to grab the accent of the area she lives… pretty normal, not sure why anyone thinks this is news or a problem.
This just in. Social media has nothing better to do. Now to Pete with the weather.
Can’t help but think she’s the one that wants this to be a story… No one cares.
