American Accent Quotes

Don’t let the American accent fool you. I am British Picture Quote #1

Acting for me was hard enough without having to think of the accent.

I actually always try to not do a general American accent. I always try to give a region Picture Quote #1

I’m completely Americanized - I have an American accent, an American wife - but a residue of me is foreign Picture Quote #1

I think it’s sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that Picture Quote #1

Most of the roles that I go for are Americans, so the first thing I had to do was pin down the American accent - which is obviously in ‘Blue Crush 2.’ Picture Quote #1

When I’m working in America, I wake up with an American accent and stay with it all day till makeup comes off. I just want everyone to be at ease, and not have the show’s creators think, ‘Oh my God, he’s so English, why did we hire him?’ Picture Quote #1

I learned by watching my favorite shows. I would just rewind and say the words back, until they sounded right to me. I never studied the American accent, in terms of getting a teacher or taking phonetics classes. I’ve always been a good mimic. It really wasn’t that hard for me Picture Quote #1

My accent has changed my whole life. When I was younger, it was very Nigerian, then when we went to England, it was very British. I think I have a very strange, hybrid accent, and I’ve worked very hard to get a solid American accent, which is what I use most of the time Picture Quote #1

I was very nervous about the accent. I was very nervous about being an American Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty adamant to do an American accent because you get it immediately Picture Quote #1

I guess I’d always mocked the American accent. I didn’t consider it a respectable dialect, but I was told that it was Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be an English actor doing the greatest American accent you’ve ever heard. I want to be an American doing nothing Picture Quote #1

When I’m just walking around, I swap between the British and the American, and when I’m with my family I’m with my Nigerian accent Picture Quote #1

I’m still a member of the Empire! Although I sometimes feel like an American with a British accent - you get contaminated after so long Picture Quote #1

The great thing about not being American is that you don’t assume you know what a Southern accent sounds like, so you have to be specific Picture Quote #1

Because in Australia we’re so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent. It’s just second nature Picture Quote #1

Afrikaans is my first language, although you would never know, as my English accent has more of an American-British thing going on from all my years of travelling Picture Quote #1

I lived in America for a long time before I started working as an actor. Some actors show up on set and have never done an American accent before, so they rely on a slew of technical mechanisms. Part of what makes an accent is understanding why people speak that way - you have to understand the culture Picture Quote #1

I keep forgetting I’m speaking in an American accent sometimes. The dangerous thing is that you end up forgetting what your real accent is after a while! It’s really strange; I’ve never done a job in an American accent before Picture Quote #1

When I sing along with Britney Spears I will sing in an American accent. But eventually I found my own voice. My songs are so brutally honest, it would be alien to sing in any accent other than my own. Don’t get me wrong - I can imitate singers. I can do bar mitzvahs and weddings Picture Quote #1

I’m not talking with an American accent. I haven’t gone off and become Sammy Hagar Picture Quote #1

I never worked with a dialogue coach before, but I’d hate it if an American did a British accent and didn’t do it well. It would be insulting Picture Quote #1

My grandma said - when I was really young and I’d sing along to the radio - why do you sing in an American accent? I guess it was because a lot of the music I was listening to had American vocalists Picture Quote #1

I do one accent - my own. I can make it louder or quieter. That is the sum total of my vocal range. I thought I could do an American accent until I tried it in front of an American - the expression of horror is still burnt onto my retinas Picture Quote #1

The American has no language, he has a dialect, slang, provincialism, accent and so forth Picture Quote #1

I had a dialect coach to get an American accent, and then another dialect coach to come off it a bit. There is something deep and mysterious in the voice when it isn’t too high-pitched American Picture Quote #1

I like everything European. Even my GPS has a British accent - it’s way less annoying than the American one Picture Quote #1

I often find during a day of shooting I will speak in an American accent all day long when I’m doing dialogue. At the end of the day, it often takes an effort when I’m talking to my fiancee to bring my English back just because you’re so used to speaking that way Picture Quote #1

French name. English accent. American school. Anna confused Picture Quote #1
