American Horror Story : Fake English accents

Fake English accents

Is Dick van Dyke this season's voice coach or something? What's up with all these terrible English accents this season? Particularly that girl on the YouTube channel that was supposed to be from London but actually sounded like being from Alabama. Why not just hire English actors instead?

Re: Fake English accents

Because Ryan Murphy finds pleasure in making random people on the internet complain about something that isn't important in any way whatsoever.

Re: Fake English accents

In film making the little details are important even for a character who has like 60 seconds on screen, because it can bring you out of the moment. Things like that do matter when you're trying to create a convincing universe on film.

Re: Fake English accents

In a normal show yes, but this is AHS.


Nothing really matters.

Re: Fake English accents

That's still not an excuse, it's just lazy film making then

Whatever you say, boss. If you want to go out of your way to ruin the show for yourself by all means be my guest.


I'll be over here not caring about stupid *beep* and enjoying everything nonstop.

Then you're just a deluded fanboy, the point of these forums is to have a debate about the pros and cons, not just blindly praise it.

Re: Fake English accents

Okay =)

You're not actually debating anything. You're cry baiting about an accent that was on screen for about 30 seconds. Tell me, what should she have sounded like? They should have had a Paki from London to show diversity, if you ask me, but then you'd complain she was brown.

Aww, they're never going to learn until they start realizing stuff like that for themselves Dani

Re: Fake English accents

I've never seen this board have so much cry baiting before, Qris. The whining is out of this world this season. It's as bad as god awful facebook.

Re: Fake English accents

It's especially weird considering how good this season was. Every time I think they've finally done enough to satisfy the whiners they just find some new unimportant thing to cry about

Re: Fake English accents

Any wonder they took the piss out of the fandom with the paleyfest segment. I still find that so hilarious.

What's your fave colour.

What's your fave season

Re: Fake English accents

If I asked that question and Evan Peters responded with "I see the world in the full spectrum of colors" I would have ran down and punched him in the face.

I loved his answer. It was so true to character. I loved the look on Shelby's face when she was just left up on stage. ehehehe. So funny.

Hey man, he has low standards,leave him be. I'm sure he will look back 10 years from now and ask himself how he ever liked this mess.

Re: Fake English accents

Do you seriously spend your time looking back on shows you watched ten years ago?


I mean... do you not have any hobbies or anything?

Yes, that is my main hobby. Going through the TV history books and saying "Man, I musta been a retard to like this sh!t." In your case you can do it now.

I think it's meant to be campy (consciously artificial, exaggerated, vulgar, or mannered; self-parodying).

It's supposed to be a wet dream for everyone who ever watched these cheesy, paranormal reality shows and prayed to god that all of the annoying people on the show would die horrible deaths. I mean, I get it. God knows I hate all those shows too, especially those GD ghost hunter shows. I only wish it was scarier and the story actually interesting.

Interesting comment.

Re: Fake English accents

Very thought provoking.

You forgot 'lazy'.

Re: Fake English accents

Maybe she's trying to copy Kathy Bates' accent? She's certainly butchering a mixture of Newcastle, Lancashire and Norfolk.

Re: Fake English accents

I didn't have a more problem with it than I did with Benedict Cumberbatch's in Dr Strange.

It didn't bug me the first time but when I saw it a second time, I noticed it sounded as though it was from several different regions.
