Welsh Accent

[BAW0343]

So for a play at school it turns out i am "decended" from welsh noblmen and i want to learn how to speak in a welsh accent. You guys have any idea where i could get sound clips of a welsh accent?

The BBC do a Welsh channel I believe... or try searching for Welsh internet radio stations!
Failing that listen to lots of Tom Jones records

Every time I hear a Welsh accent, it reminds me of the time in the Magistrate's court, 10 years ago, listening to the feeble excuses of the Welsh toe-rags who stole mine, and my lads super-bikes (from England).

...we never did get our bikes back again......!

BAW....I'm afraid to inform you that you were not descended from a Welsh nobleman....
You were more likely to be descended from a Welsh toe-rag....
...trust me... ...!

LOL... ...!

Paul...much too close to Wales... ...!

There's no such thing as a typical Welsh accent. This depends on which region of Wales you come from. You could do worse than listen to famous Welsh actors Richard Burton & Anthony Hopkins. Here's a clip of Richard Burton reading the poem "Under Milk Wood" by Dylan Thomas. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/wales/walesonair/media/audio/dylan2?size=au&bgc=C0C0C0&nbram=1&bbram=1

PS. I wouldn't worry too much. In my experience Americans are hopeless at imitating & recognising British accents.

Hmmmm.....there's always Dafydd, probably not what you'd call authentic, and if you're under 16 you may not be old enough to watch

The question is "Are you the only gay in the village?"

Look into my eyes, look into the eyes, the eyes, the eyes. Don't look around the eyes, look into the eyes....
