London´s East end. The rough part.



If it harms none, do what thou wilt.

It's a Cockney accent - very common in East London.

I'd like to add, North Americans speak a bastardised version of English.

@poopycockjr- why do you have this innate obsession to put your stinky, snooty and turdy British attitude on display in most of your posts? Oh wait, you are British!! Well, that makes it okay then...

Just a immature idiot who has nothing constructive to say.

It's not his Cockney accent per se that makes understanding him difficult. It's like he has a dozen marbles in his mouth. This is beyond any regional accent, this is a speech impediment.

People with speech impediments don't asked to do full length Audi commercials, or voice overs for google, Virgin Atlantic, or Nike. This is one of the most beautiful speaking voices on earth.

The voices he gives his characters are creative, authentic, and easy to understand if you try to.

 Indeed it is.

It was just an east end London accent , my dad talks like that so I guess I'm used to it but I can understand why people would struggle




I was waiting for my hearse what came next was so much worse

I'm a Yank and I had a hard time understanding some of the accents. The Cockney-East Enders can be tricky for us Statesiders. Some Londoners are much easier to understand but Northern Englanders can be even trickier. I'm sure it's the same with the English having a hard time understanding people from Southern U.S. or even Pittsburgh, PA. Hell, no one understands the Pittsburgh accent.

I didn't have much trouble understanding the east end London accent.

I worked in Birmingham for 6 months back in the early 90's, and let me tell you - that 'Brummie' accent was challenging.
