Dixie I

4:54

also loved music so kind of like you

4:56

know Jazz and all the the science stuff

5:00

is really good I guess you've got like

5:01

certain American actors that you might

5:03

pick up from like like Al Pacino he's

5:06

got quite a strong American accent but

5:08

I'm not sure exactly where from when

5:10

British movies go over to America they

5:12

get sometimes day off to day two

5:14

sometimes subtitle it particularly if

5:16

you got like a Geordie accent or

5:18

something like that other than those two

5:19

accents I think the rest is very very

5:21

difficult for me to pick up and where I

5:24

know if you're an American I suspect you

5:26

can sort of pinpoint roughly where

5:28

people come from do you think there's

5:29

something in the pace of life that

5:31

changes your accent definitely yeah

5:34

because if you're in a fast moving fast

5:36

happening place you tend to speak fast

5:38

too and walk fast usually if you're in

5:41

New York or Chicago they speak really

5:43

fast and it's almost staccato

5:46

so there's a different speed to it as

5:48

well as sound to it depending on where

5:51

you are the sauce is more drawing yeah

5:54

wow yeah yeah I think the vowel sounds

5:57

seems to be more drawn out yeah yeah I

6:00

seem to make more of the vowels and

6:01

perhaps we do in them or

6:03

straight off the bat English Matthew
