Idris Elba on specifically ONLY casting Jamaican actors for HIS MOVIE Yardie - "I wanted it to be authentic. I didn't want it to be inauthentic"

[TEH]

Have you seen a black Non-Ameican imitate an Atlanta accent or a New Orleans accent bruh?



That lie that British actors can just play any ol Black American needs to stop. There's never been a British actor in the history of this planet that has ever pulled off those accents

No I haven’t bytch nikka

The thread is about Jamaican accents

Should I have brought up Atlanta accents too

My bad

 

[Sterling Archer]

Me personally

Unless you get the accent perfectly done let someone else do it …

This is especially a problem when I hear regional accents butchered …

He actually got worse with his American accent over the years. nikka was horrible in Prometheus. I was so confused. Especially since southern accents are the easiest for Brits to do.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Now that this has been exposed, I'm just gonna wait until this goes viral

Yep their situation is different

 

[posterchild336]

Most people can't fake a good Jamaican accent, however, they're really good at faking an American accent.

Op read this and try again

My point is simple

Unless you were /are raised somewhere the accent is impossible to imitate

Southern accents are specific

That’s what they don’t get

Like someone can tell what part of the Carolinas you came from … it’s not just one big cowboy /southern/ Texas/ Mississippi accent

Dont care for the xenophobia of the leaders, but some of these responses are showing me why ADOS/FBA are needed.

The hypocrisy is strong in here.

 

[saturn7]

[PoPimp84]
