How to Speak with Different AMERICAN ACCENTS
- Our last stop on today's accent tour is the golden state, California. And again, there's a bunch of different Cali accents, but the way I'm talking right now is what we might call a NorCal accent. And as you can hear, it's fairly close to a neutral American accent, but there are some subtle differences. So let's talk about them. Number one is that California accents in general are famous for vocal fry, which is the sound your voice makes when you kind of let it sit in your throat. Can you hear how my voice is a little bit grainy right now? That's vocal fry, and you can hear it all over California. Number two is uptalk. And that's when a speaker ends a statement with a rising tone. Yeah, I lived in San Jose for two years, but it wasn't the right fit.
