- Hello and welcome to a deaf girl

and an American try British accents.

- Wait, can you teach me how to say

"hello lovely people" in BSL?

- Oh yeah.

Okay, sure, sure.

- Is it just one hand, right?

BSL is just one hand instead of two?

Or ASL is just one hand?

- No, other way around.

So ASL uses one hand for the alphabet,

and I think a variety of other words,

but mainly the alphabet.

Whereas, BSL, everything is two hands.

- Okay, so what happens if you only have one hand?

- You can actually still do BSL.

- Okay.

- So often if we're in the car or something,

Claudia can still sign to me,

but I understand what she's saying.

She's just using one hand.

- Okay, how do I say "hello lovely people"?

It's something with your jaw.

- Okay, so you go, hello.

- Hello.

- Lovely.

- Lovely.

- And then, people.

- What is it?

- So it's like a beard for a man.

And then, this is woman because they have soft cheeks.

- Okay, people?

- People.

- People, okay.

- It's actually not gendered, because there are people

who grow beards and people who don't.

- Hello lovely people?

Did I do it?

- Yeah.

And then you just have to do it quickly.

- Okay.

- Hello lovely people.

(laughing)

- I can't do it right.

Ready?

- Hello lovely people.

(laughing)

- I can't do it.

Every time, I'm like, which way do I -

Can we do it really slow?

- Hello lovely people.

- I did it!

- Very good, see?

- Yay!

- All right.

Hello and welcome to a deaf girl

and an American try British accents.

If you couldn't tell, I am the aforementioned deaf girl.

According to the internet, you probably couldn't tell.

I know, I don't "sound deaf".

But weirdly, deafness is about what you can and can't hear,

not how you sound.

And this is Stevie, my American friend.

- Hi!

I don't know anything about British accents, really.

- But she has a strangely good Dick Van Dyke impression.

- I don't get that.

Why do you keep saying that?

You say I sound like Dick Van Dyke or the Artful Dodger.

Isn't Dick Van Dyke American?

- Yes, but in Mary Poppins,

he played a British man terribly.

- Ohhh, yeah!

He was like, "oi, what's up?"

I don't know.

(laughing)

- That's you.

And we're also filming a video for Stevie's channel,

which you can go and watch.

It will be in the description, and in a card above,

and it will be less family friendly than this video.

- I'm gonna make her guess kinky words and what they mean.

So, you obviously want to see that.

- Yeah.

Helping us in the video today is going to be

the lovely Josie, who's gonna sit off camera

in a corner and smirk at me.

She's gonna try and help us go through each accent

of the British Isles, and then mark us

and see who does it better.

- So what's the first one we're gonna do?

Should we do my Walter accent?

- The first accent that we're gonna - what?

- My Walter accent?

- Your accent for my dog.

- Yeah.

So Walter, his name is, how do you say it?

- Walter.

- That's how he knows his name.

But in my accent, it's Walter,

but he doesn't know that's his name.

He doesn't come to it, so I have to say

(exaggerated British accent) Walter.

(laughing)

She just calls me Dick Van Dyke every time I do it.

- Right.

I think we should therefore start with my accent.

- Okay.

- And you can try and copy it.

My accent is called RP, Received Pronunciation.

I have a video about why I sound this way,

which you can go and watch.

Also, a lot of people connect this accent to the Queen,

but it's not actually her accent.

So we're gonna use a website called voices.com,

which apparently has all of the accents

that we need to know.

- Well, here we go, go!

- [Website Voice] Last autumn, our scones

were named the best in the UK.

- Oh my God.

- Say it.

- Last autumn, our scones were named

the best scones in the UK.

- That's not what that is.

(laughing)

- Wait, one more time.

- Last autumn, our scones were named the best in the UK.

- Why do you say "scons" instead of "scones"?

- Because they're called scones.

- Oh, okay.

Last autumn, our scones were named the best in the UK.

That wasn't terrible!

- Okay, so how did we do, Josie?

- I know, Josie is the judge.

(laughing)

- Considering it's my own accent.

- [Josie] You're really good at your own accent.

- Ten out of ten for me.

My own voice.

- How did I do?

- [Josie] I'm quite impressed with yours, actually.

- Yay!

- [Josie] You get a seven.

- Seven!

- Seven!

- That's really good.

- Ooh.

- I'm really proud of myself.

- [Josie] We'll do Stevie's next.

- Next accent.

- Is it mine?

- [Website Voice] Last autumn, our scones...

(laughing)

- I really expected to hear an American.

Instead I heard the Artful Dodger.

(laughing)

- [Website Voice In Cockney Accent] Last autumn,

our scones was named the best in the UK.

(laughing)

- Why did they say "was" instead of "were"?

Last autumn.

(laughing)

Our scones was named the - I can't do it,

I can't stop laughing.

(laughing)

The best in the UK!

(laughing)

- [Josie] Why are you shouting?

- 'Cause he sounds like he is.

- So Cockney is quite in the throat here.

- Okay.

- And in the chest, so it's more like "last".

So last autumn, our scones was named the best in the UK.

- That was really good!

(laughing)

- How was that?

- [Josie] Ratings?

- Yes.

- Rate us.

- [Josie] Well, Jessica won again

because you were shouting and screaming.

(laughing)

- Oh my God.

- I won!

Last autumn.

- Walter.

(laughing)

- Yeah.

- This is so much fun.

- Okay, what about our numbers?

What did we get, what did we get?

- [Josie] Hmm, they're both really bad.

(laughing)

But you were better of the bad.

- I was least bad!

Yes!

- Least bad out of two.

- [Josie] I'm gonna go, Stevie, 3 at a push.

(laughing)

- I'll take it.

It's better than nothing.

- [Josie] Jessica, five.

- Ooh, okay.

I'm on 15, you're on a ten.

- Okay.

- [Josie] North West.

- North West.

- [Website Voice In North West Accent] Last autumn,

our scones were named the best in the UK.

- Why does it, oh it does sound northern.

- [Josie] It could be Manchester too.

- Yeah, once again?

- Last autumn, our scones were named the best in the UK.

- Hey, that was great!

- [Josie] I feel like I'm watching Coronation Street.

- Autumn...

(laughing)

Our scones were named the best in the UK.

- If you like, flatten your tongue and roll it.

- These are all so similar to each other.

- Last autumn, our scones were named the best in the UK.

- Last autumn...

(laughing)

All right, rate us up.

- [Josie] Is that your attempt?

(laughing)

You didn't say the whole sentence at any point.

I think Jess is going to win every single one.

- Obviously, she's from here!

- I win, I win!

- We should have done the opposite.

We should have done us trying to do American accents.

- That is the video we'll make when you next come to stay.

- Yeah!

- There you go.

- All right, rate us.

- Rating, rating!

- Out of ten.

- [Josie] Right.

Well, you get minus one point

for not saying the entire sentence.

- I did!

I said the whole sentence.

- Minus one.

- Wait, roll the tape.

Autumn...

(laughing)

Our scones were named the best in the UK.

- [Josie] If you did, then you get a one.

- Okay, it's between one and ten.

- Or just zero.

Just a ten, we'll leave her at ten.

- [Josie] Okay Jessica, you get an eight.

- Yes!

- Wow, you're killing it!

- I'm on 23.

- [Josie] You're really good at this.

- Wait, are you on ten?

Nine, ten, or eleven?

- Oh, I'm really bad at math.

- [Josie] I have not been keeping track.

- Are you - no, no, no, but are you giving her minus one,

zero or one?

- [Josie] Minus one if she didn't say the full sentence

when we play it back.

And one if she did.

- I did say the whole sentence,

I was just laughing during it.

- Okay, eleven, we'll give you the one then.

- [Website Voice In Standard Scottish Accent] Last autumn,

our scones were named the best in the UK.

- Were named.

(laughing)

- Exactly!

- Last autumn, our scones were named the best in the UK.

(laughing)
