Canadian vs. American Accent!

[MikeKarschti]

Maybe I have a Southern accent? That could explain the similarities

[mathlover]

As someone living in Nothern USA, the Canadian guy sounds more American than the American woman. Accets are defined by regions not by countries. Someone from Seattle(USA) will sound more like someone from Vancouver(Canada) than someone from Texas. So, its all about regions.

Americans don’t know if we’re Canadian by our “accent”, they typically figure it out if they notice one of us using “sorry” excessively.

*British enters the chat*
- “Did he say drummer?”

[RachelHardy]

I always find it weird that Americans can hear my accent but I generally don’t notice theirs

[SKGrenkow]

I’m Canadian and it’s so weird to hear people do a “Canadian” accent, because I can’t hear my accent and I just feel like I don’t have an accent, like mine is the default and everyone else has an accent 😂

2:36 almost no one from the UK pronounces herb without the h.

[zandraburgess]

UK people do pronounce the H in Herb - this is coming from an English person btw lmao

[TayoEXE]

I'm from western US, and I notice that he speaks a lot like I do, minus the "ou" sounds are just a bit different. I guess it makes sense. In the U.S., we rarely ever even mention Canada even though we're young siblings. It makes sense that we sound very similar and similar cultures.

Either way, glad to be related by a common language, my Canadian, Australian, UK, etc. friends! At least we can understand each other despite the differences. Haha

[cmvidz]

Me as an Australian hearing both accents 👁️👄👁️

[gludiousmaximus]

We definitely use "leever" more often in canada. This guy has a Toronto accent which is more like American

[Urufu-san]

He doesn’t have a pronounced Canadian accent, I know Canadians who sound much more un-American 😊 vowels more different than his. Probably depends on where in Canada you‘re from...

[davida]

I'm from Canada, and I can say that American have far fetched stereotype in how we talk... but a good example of a traditional Canadian accent is Dr. Bonnie Henry... she speaks like what a Canadian person would sound like if Canadians weren't as influenced by American English. Also the guy from Vancouver Carpenter, is another good example. You may not hear it, but it comes out more in some words.

[FubblyBubblys]

I’m Canadian and I’m so happy that like people aren’t asking why we say “eh” we do not or why the accent sounds where’d because we sound fairly similar to Americans

[ezekielsmith]

Ask us Canadians to say "I'm not going out tonight" and you'll catch it.
I'm no* going ouw* toni*

[lucascalma]

Canadian English is basically the crystal clear version of the American English in terms of accent sounding

[mariacillan]

As a non-native English speaker... I am now extremely confused as to which accent I try to imitate when speaking English because I've been told I sound like I have an American/Canadian/New Zealander accent. Now I just speak with an exaggerated and more Spanish-esque sounding version of my Filipino accent.

[robintaylorwright]

I would say (as a Canadian) we're expected to say "left-tennant" but we say it like they do in the US because of media influence, etc. It's sort of dying out or at least is just used in 'stuffier' places like parliament.

[eddiewhite]

They sound near enough the same to me, i'm Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[oliviarichardson]
