Yes there is one you missed. The actor who plays Prince Jacaerys has a very London accent. He said he struggled with the royal accent and needed a dialect coach.

It is funny that most British and Irish actors can speak with American accents well, while Americans can rarely pull off good British and Irish accents. 😂
@djardine2520 I love Peter Dinklage, but his wasn't so great. Really the only American I've believed is the guy who played Dorian Grey in Penny Dreadful. Carnie maybe? I forget his last name. But yes, 1 out of 600 or so? 😂😂
I love this show, the actors are really sublime, and if you're used to seeing them act out serious scenes, it can be surprising to see them joke around in their natural voices in interviews.
I can’t believe it took me like a few episodes of the first season to realize the guy playing high tower is the same guy who played the kicker in the replacements 😂
Rhys Ifans is a real scene-stealer, much like Charles Dance. Would love to see those two in a show together, preferably as antagonists. Hard to believe he was the shaggy roommate in Notting Hill😂
Derby is in the midlands not up north! Don’t get me wrong we’re definitely more north than south but the midlands is a place and that’s where Derby is.
0:52 Watch Rhys in the movie, Notting Hill and you’ll never be able to take him seriously again😂 3:27 hated how bad her accent was in the first season and I’m really happy that they made her correct it for the second season but honestly it’s really bad and it messes up those scenes for me, wish she would’ve just talked in her own accent, but like took it to like a whisper level, or some thing
I agree! Her accent in the first season was all over the place. One minute she sounded British, next she sounded French, and occasionally a hint of Jamaican. I can understand wanting her to have a “mysterious” and hard to place accent but that was a bit much.
I can barely tolerate the Northern American accent. Down South, the women don't raise the pitch of their voices to a whiny screech. No insult. Upper England sounds more like posh Southerners. Not the farm ones. 😊 I'm Southern with Northern England and Scottish lowlands heritage. My fake Scottish accent sound authentic.
I live near Tom and we went to the same secondary school, he sounds a lot more Northern when he's up here than in interviews. Mainly cause Southerners and Americans can't understand us
Emma and Matt and Fabien all sound like their characters, as well as Phia and the guy that plays Larys (don’t know his name 😭) Edit: Eve Best also sounds like Rhaenys
At 1:01 you mention Ser Otto was the hand to 2 Kings, when in fact, he was the Hand to 3 Kings. 1: In 101 AC, after the death of Prince Baelon Targaryen, the son and heir of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Hand of the King, Jaehaerys called upon Ser Otto Hightower to be his new Hand. 2: Otto continued as Hand to Viserys I Targaryen, Jaehaerys's grandson, who succeeded to the throne in 103 AC. 3: In 129 AC as Hand of the King to his eldest grandson King Aegon II Targaryen
How did people forget that he also played in the movie with Keanu Reeves called The replacement back in the day, you can hear his accent back then and his character was from Wales too..😊
So annoying whenever they try to have someone use this generic ‘eastern’ (in relation to Westeros) accent. It sounds so fake and forced, really breaks immersion for me
I think the White Worm is supposed to have a bit of a Patois/Caribbean accent. A bit of a weird one though. I also think Graham McTavish is just not fully speaking in his own Scottish accent in interviews because maybe he fears people won’t fully understand him lol.
@@amyb1530 If there's 2 people side by side, one with Queens English and the other with a northern accent we'd all assume the former is the upper class, it's just the general stereotypical consensus in England lol
Have you ever heard a "strong Welsh accent"? Because i guarantee you the giy who plays actually speaks very slowly and articulately so that you can understand him. Welsh speak very fast and can be hard to follow
Sometimes casting a 27yo to play a 20yo can work. And sometimes, casting a 28yo to play a 34yo can work. What doesn't work is when those two are supposed to play son and mother. In Game of Thrones, Catelyn and Sansa really looked like mother and daughter. In House of the Dragon, I see Alicent and Helaena together and I don't even think they look related, let alone that one is the mother of the other.
I adore Olivia Cooke's real accent and personally? idgaf that she is far too young to be playing mother to her all growed up children in season 2, its ok, she makes everything she is in better
How is that possible because some of these people speak completely differently. It's almost like saying Chinese and Japanese sounds the same. Even if you don't speak them, you can easily tell they do not. I'm not British and can hear each are clearly different. You're not listening at all.

In that show, if they had a way to make a one year old have a baby, they'd probably do it, especially if they had royal blood.

Fun fact Graham Mactavish does a lot of voice acting, such as Lazarevic and Charlie Cutter in Uncharted!
I think Ewan Mitchell sounds more like Aemond than he himself
So basically in order to get a role in HOTD you'd have to have a foreign English accent. Great.
Thats like, every character. So, none of them sound like their character

Sonoyo is the most annoying voice for me on House if the Dragon. It’s like nails on a chalkboard. In real life, she sounds better.
😂 apparently more people felt this way and she toned down the accent
They toned it down in the 2nd season 😂 hottest one on the show but her voice makes everyone turn their back on her whenever she’s talking 😂
Same here. Can't stand her character, and can't stand the accent they have her use.

With the exception of the Australians, they are all British - just from different regions.

Why is it at all surpising that an American actor was in Game of Thrones though? The author of the books is American.
Sometimes casting a 27yo to play a 20yo can work. And sometimes, casting a 28yo to play a 34yo can work. What doesn't work is when those two are supposed to play son and mother.
In Game of Thrones, Catelyn and Sansa really looked like mother and daughter.
In House of the Dragon, I see Alicent and Helaena together and I don't even think they look related, let alone that one is the mother of the other.
This is probably to underline the fact that Alicent was also pretty young when she became a mother.She was of age of course,but also young.
