The Surprising Reason Why British People Sing in American Accents

View ChannelAbout
I have a lifelong passion for languages, pronunciation, accents - you name it. The purpose of this channel is to share that passion in a fun, entertaining and informative way. I would love for more people to know how truly amazing human languages are and encourage people to learn them and learn more about them. I love to promote languages with fewer speakers, especially those that have been oppressed. I hate to hear that people were told not to speak their language and that it doesn't have value.

Many hugely successful singers speak with strong accents from around the English-speaking world, but they all sound American when they sing. I look at the phonetics of what it even means to sing like an American, and then examine why people do it. Some of the reasons may well surprise you.
