I am very good with dialects, but the two that I can't do for some reason are the South African and Australian.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just love dialects; they're really fun.
I have a dialect myself; it's more pronounced, because I have studied theatre and been in England. It's half-British, half-Indian.
I can do accents really well.
Every time I create a character, I don't assume they speak like I do, even if they're Australian.
Well, American dialects have been studied for a hundred years or so.
Some people say I sound Australian. I guess it's all down to Miss Matthews, who taught me English when I was growing up in Dar es Salaam. Nearly everyone in Denmark speaks English, and TV shows are only ever subtitled, not dubbed.
The Australian accent is sort of like going down a step in smartness, you could say, because you guys pronounce things as they're spelled. We add and abbreviate stuff.
I grew up in a lot of different places, so I pick up accents pretty quickly.
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from.
