New Yorker here. She sounds crazy native. I’m impressed

Guys, we DO speak like this. You guys probably are talking to people who either just moved to the East Coast or are the first generations to grow up there. I'm from Flatbush Gardens in Brooklyn and I'm telling you, everybody in my neighborhood talks like this. Some accents might be thicker than others but trust me, Amy hits the accent on the money.

To all the people complaining:
Yes the way she sounds in this video is exaggerated and maybe the majority of New Yorkers don't sound THIS strong, however 
1. some people DO sound this strong (one of my NY friends sounds exactly like this)
2. properly learning how to do an accent involves learning the most exaggerated way first (learning every characteristic of the NY accent- the full range, thoroughly), practicing it over and over until one can do it without thinking about it, then they can soften the accent to sound more natural and casual once they become more familiar and comfortable with it. But you have to start at the basics. And this video shows you the basics, it's not meant to address every nuance of every New York speaker.

Whether you're from NY or not, I always found the NY accent to be the most pleasing.

To everyone saying this doesn't sound NY, it DOES. Lol, this accent exists in Staten Island and the southern parts of Brooklyn (Coney Island, Seaside, and etc). This is the original NY accent from the 1900's and forth.

Trying this in a British accent means you're going to sound Australian whatever you do.

[katiecleland]

I'm Scottish and I'm trying to do this accent but keep on sounding Australian😂

[genebigs]

Almost perfect. Being a native New Yorker, it's apparent that she's not a native. However, it's a friggin' 95/100. Excellent job!

[tmalone]

Not only does she have the accent down to a T, but she's got the mannerisms as well. I'm VERY impressed. I've never heard anyone sound so much like a native (except a friend of mine from TX, but that's besides the point). She truly sounds like a native.

I’m trying out for theatre in high school and the monologue is like a 1940’s New Yorker vibe and every time I try to do a New Yorker accent it turns into a British accent.😂

[tostevelee]

She really is super talented. I just sit and listen. The level of detail is amazing.

[高見海-sq]

She sounds like Naomi from Wolf of Wall Street
Which isn't a bad thing

[GirlsNDragons]

Lmao xD **face palm** New Yorkers are so butthurt! "I'm from NY, we don't sound like that".. Of course you don't, you guys lost your accent with every generation! My grandmother sounds like this, she passed it down and I pushed myself to learn. Disgraceful all of yoos!

[zisira]

This is more of a Staten Island /north jersey accent

[spiderjerusalem]

I'm from texas, this accent in girls is my favorite accent of all. I have to talk to a lot of repair companies all over the country, and when I see NY on the location, I'm like "please sound like her please sound like her", and when she does, it's the highlight of my week lol. It just sounds so cool, it sounds like "shit's about to get done", and it usually does with them

[xxGLhrMxx]

So basically you gotta go through a meditation session before talking

[JuanCarabajal]

When she said "what do you smell" I instantly said GARBAGE 😂

[TheDistantman]

this honestly helps. I've been making calls to New York for a couple days now for my job. Making sure they partially believe I'm from New York even though I'm in California

[gigistarlight]

I love Amy so much! She is definitely my favorite YouTuber. Just a disclaimer though: I was born and raised here in Manhattan. All my friends are New Yorkers and my father is from here as well. I can honestly say I have never heard this accent anywhere.

[haroldmcneil]

This is a legitimate New York City accent, though it is specific to a group that no longer dominates the outer boroughs of New York the way it once did.The sound Amy Walker produces here is the stereotypical accent that people recognize from TV shows and movies, particularly those produced in the latter part of the last century. I heard it with great regularity growing up in Brooklyn in the mid 1960s through the late 1970s. However, I did not hear it so much in my own East Brooklyn neighborhood, where the majority of the residents were either directly from or descendants of the American deep south and the Caribbean. The dialects and languages that these people spoke were influenced by those origins and, over a couple of generations, had a profound effect on what many might consider to be the classic New York City accent.
