Accent Maketh The (Wo)Man

[MeGustaXL]

The Test Sentence is: HOW NOW, BROWN COW?

Candidate #1:

High Nigh Brine Kye

Candidate #2: (maybe CorBlimeyLimey - )

Aahh Naah Braahn Caah

Who would you employ?

BTW, any other ways of pronouncing that sentence would be appreciated

Rule Two: What's in it for me? - My Dad

It depends what the job is. If you want someone to play a gangster in your latest film, you'd want a Bob Hoskins/Ray Winstone sort of accent, so b) sounds perfect.

 

[MeGustaXL]

What if the gangster film was set in the Bronx in 1923 - what would I be listening for?

[Dagon]

I think Ray Winstone actually plays a New York gangster in "The Departed". I've not seen it yet, so I don't know if he uses his own London accent or a fake American one.

 

[ChrisHunt]

I guess you're thinking of the Queen's english for #1, but it works just as well to represent a Northern Irish accent.

How about a McCandidate:

Hoo Noo Broon Coo?

Dagon Went to see The Departed last night -- I thought it was really good .... the accent is inbetween, but you can't mistake the London !!!!!!!

Or a southern-bred, chicken-fried candidate:

Hayow nayow brayown cayow?

Or Snoop, The Candidate:

Howzzle to the nowzzle brizowzell cowzell
