About

Business Inquiries: [email protected] Hi! I want to share the fascination and fun of speech, language and accents, and I'm so grateful to anyone who feels able to support this work via my Patreon. I studied at University College London and got my PhD at the University of California Los Angeles. I've taught at universities including UCL, Edinburgh and Cambridge, published research in many areas, and worked as a forensic analyst. I've given invited lectures and workshops around the world. I wrote the influential 'English After RP' (Palgrave Macmillan), and my blog contains over a hundred audio-illustrated articles. I'm co-editor of the free searchable online pronouncing dictionary CUBE. I've also worked in film and TV as a screenwriter and director. I wrote the screenplay and arranged the music (performed by Lang Lang) for the animated fantasy Magic Piano, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award nomination.

Video Description

Join my Discord: https://discord.com/invite/UBWMy5wqZY -- Hear the fascinating rhythms that distinguish American, British and Australian accents – rhythms that are misrepresented by the major dictionaries, and that can trip up American actors when they aim at a 'British' accent! Also, learn why do English and Australian speakers say 'law/r/and order' with linking R, and why so-called linking Y and linking W just don't exist. Special guest star Matt Parker https://www.youtube.com/@standupmaths If you want to speak British English clearly and confidently, I recommend this course from accent coach Luke Nicholson: info: https://improveyouraccent.co.uk/english-pronunciation-course/ sign up: https://course.improveyouraccent.co.uk/register
