How to Do a Realistic, Believable Brooklyn Accent

danoday.com/th... The New York Brooklyn accent has a lot of elements in common with the Cockney accent. The key to separating them is proper placement. Nailing the placement of the Brooklyn accent should be the actor's first step because it affects to many different sounds. In this dialect coaching session, notice how Jim contrasts the old-fashioned, sterotypical cartoonish pronunciation of "earned" as "Oyned" with the current, more realistic "Oy-ernd."

For the last play I'll be doing at my seconndary school before I leave, we're doing Little Shop Of Horrors and I'm aiming to be Audrey. Hopefully, my accent research will be evidence of dedication and I'll get some extra points ;)

[@TheAccentsClass]

It seems that in most productions of "Little Shop of Horrors," "Audrey" speaks with a Brooklyn accent...so you've come to the right place. Break a leg!

Ya know, why anybody would PERPOSELY develop Brooklynese is beyond me. What's it gonna get you?? I grew up in a pretty crappy Brooklyn neighborhood in the 1950's/60's. Now called Greenwood Heights, we called it Bush terminal or Industry City. Our teachers went nuts tryin' to learn us elocution and correct grammar. Didn't work in my case and I get tired of people askin' me if I'm from Brooklyn. I am but so what?? Been away from Fun City thirty two years now and my accent gets stronger when inebriated. Ain't half as bad as when I lived there and some words do slip out; goil (girl), cawfee (coffee), gonna (going to), terlet (toilet), radeata (radiator). Not for nothin' but, it's a bit embarrassing sometimes. I ain't gonna say FUHGEDDABOUDIT. Nice video though.

[@TheAccentsClass]

Thanks for the compliment about the video (at the end of your comments)!

[@Killajake99]

For context, I'm learning it so I can expand my range when I run my Dungeons and Dragons game, but apparently people learn it to get more roles in movies.

[@MrAntennaBall]

Gents, I’d concentrate more on the burrows than NYC - they lay on thicker at the burrows than in the big city where everything gets just a tad diluted.
Think “Curly” of The Three Stooges.
