- This lesson is designed to help you produce a convincing New York accent, using key vowel and consonant substitutions when applied to a text.
Drop R-endings
mortuary, part, New York, sort
The Long O grows nasal
most, no, show
The Short A occasionally grows nasal
asks, past bag, bad, sad, gas
But other words with a short A do not change, such as cat, mattress and St. Patrick’s Day.
Most of the vowel and consonant changes listed above are demonstrated in the following monologue:
I will tell you something about myself that few people know.
My mortuary is unrestricted, meaning all walks of life are welcome. There is no denomination of a particular religion. Now, this sort of fence-sitting wouldn’t fly in most parts of the world. People tend to want to be buried by members of their own group. New York being a melting pot, I generally skate past that issue. Yet every once in a while, a client asks what I believe in. They essentially want to find out if I believe in God.
Given what I do for a living, what I wade through, the messes I clean up, I am challenged to believe in anything. That is my secret.
Despite the big show, I can’t believe in it. Today, more than most, I wish I could.
The handbook "Speak with a New York Accent" takes the exotic art of performing with dialects and delivers easy-to-follow lessons (including a longer list of those exceptional short A sounds). Break all barriers to learning the New York accent with this book, and at your next audition the casting directors will be scraping their jaws off the floor.

the O's give me trouble but due to your explanation of how to think about producing the sound, I think in time, I'll get it.

Thank you. In terms of wishing me success, your success is my success.
You're great, man! Thanks, this was very helpful!!!
thanks so much for these videos !
You know, a lot of people know that it is tough to use New York Accent. But I don’t know about those New York accents thing, but good job of that.
I've really enjoyed your videos; the information in all of them is deep yet fun and the read texts are the best choices. I've noticed that many scandinavian people under 40 speak what I'd call a great English, but they don't sound British or American... It is as if the had already developed a 'native accent' of their own... Do you think I'm right? I'd love to know your opinion about it! Thank you.
me watching this at 12:09am because I'm writing a musical and since I have to lack of actors (well the musical won't be published publicly it's for my family) I have to act as some and one of the characters I'm voicing is supposed to have a new york accent and I can't do a new york accent: okay way is this so sad to me that I'm watching this because of this?
