How to Speak ESTUARY ENGLISH | The Hot Cockney & RP British Accent!

In this video I show you how to speak with an Estuary English accent - the hot accent, a mix of Cockney and RP. This is an Estuary accent tutorial. Everyone wants to listen to it and speak like it - just look at all the famous British actors with it (such as Tom Hardy). Plus, Americans are falling over themselves just to listen to it. There is another accent called Mockney ( fake Cockney) which is a little different. Maybe I’ll make a video on that soon. By the end of the video you will be able to choose your style - more Cockney or more RP (received pronunciation) - I explain more in the video. In the video I answer the questions: What is Estuary English? Where does Estuary English come from? Who speaks Estuary English? Plus, I give you four language and pronunciation characteristics of Estuary English and (try) and do impressions of some famous Estuary English speakers, such as Russell Brand and Jamie Oliver. Note: Estuary English is probably THE most important accent in Britain today, so if you want to find out more you’ll need to watch till the end! -------------------------------------------------- Timings: 0:00 Introduction 1:00 Background to Estuary English and where people speak it 2:47 Characteristics of Estuary English 6:07 Who speaks Estuary English? 8:41 Final thoughts and the future of Estuary English -------------------------------------------------- Links or speakers mentioned in the video: In the video I talk about some links, so the first link is to the Jeremy Paxman (RP speaker)and Russell Brand (Estuary English) interview.
