Why does frasier have a british accent
By adopting this accent, which had more nasal features, audiences could understand them effortlessly. Plus, it helped that the accent didn't make the actors sound like they came from any particular region, which allowed them more versatility when it came to roles.
Instructors stopped teaching it in finishing school and boarding schools, seemingly in a rejection of classicism. At that point in time, rich Americans who boasted about their accent were pretty much ridiculed by everyone else.
Kind of in the same way that people laugh at Frasier's accent today. Obviously that shift took some time, and some Americans both on-screen and off- were still heard using the accent up until the late '40s and '50s.
As a new generations of actors took over, none of them had been taught the accent in theater school, and spoke much more similarly to the American English we all speak today, which is how it eventually became extinct in films.
These days, it's predominantly used for snobbish comedic effect and for characters, like Frasier, to make it clear that he's much more pretentious than you.
Distractify is a registered trademark. All Rights Reserved. That should be enough of an explanation If that is true, I feel a little better about being an American. Oh yeah, take him back we're done with him. Have you ever heard the man talk? He has a very distinct Southern drawl. Okay, nobody should ever admit to knowing that much about Vanilla Ice. I saw a documentary on him a while ago.
I sat down and actually watched the whole thing, because I figured that Vanilla Ice died from a crack overdose, the way he dropped off the face of the Earth circa I was very surprised that he was still alive. CF: No, neither of them went to Yale as undergrads The rest seems accurate I never watched Cheers, so I don't know Frasier's history in Boston, but it sounds about right. The actor who plays Frasiers dad is actually from Manchester England. However he has an American accent.
The girl Daphne? I havent studied the dogs accent yet. I think someone confused Snow with Vanilla Ice. It's responsible for thinking that Frasier speaks with an english accent.. Its an upperclass "drawl" which i believe is an excellent way of refering to it May sound repetitive at this point, but I'm going to have to voice my opinion on this. His dad's accent is diffrent. It makes me cry.
Ars Legatus Legionis et Subscriptor. Greg Hines. Ars Tribunus Militum et Subscriptor. Dr Gitlin. Yep, I always thought Daphne's family's accents were ridiculous.
Especially the choice to have Daphne try to sound Macunian but her brother has a broad London accent that also gets it wrong because the actor was an Australian apparently trying to do Cockney. Grant was born and raised in Swaziland, not South Africa. The closest to a 'genuine' British portrayal in the show was, probably, Brian Cox in his couple of episodes as Daphne's dad. He still played it a little broad, but was just about believable as a working class Mancunian.
One of the worst was in 'The Two Mrs. Cranes' - the actor playing Daphne's ex-boyfriend Clive was shockingly bad, an early warning of things to come. I have always found it hard to accept that Anthony LaPaglia won an Emmy for his horrific, strangulated playing of Simon Moon.
He is a good actor but he was atrocious in this role. Just watched that episode again and, even though Cox is a great actor, his northern English accent there are many, but he's meant to be from Manchester is dodgy at best?
Bless him, he's a Scot, so does a great attempt. Is it just me or any accent other than plain english us or uk or australian sounds fake?
