I can't say I have, but look for the word BEEN a lot of them slip on that
one.
You know the two leads on "Without a Trace" are Aussies.
His accent slips a lot, I can't say the same for brother Jonathan.
Jane Seymour can do three or more American accents with no problem

But there's a lot of places in the US that pronounce that way too. Take for
example William Buckley, he used to pronounce that way.

When I worked in Roanoke, there were a lot of folks from the Richmond area,
most of whom considered themselves upper class.
Sometimes you could barely tell their accent from a classic Canadian one.

Every post she's made here has been cross-posted to that other
newsgroup.
Either she's trolling, or pretty clueless.
Initially I thought it was the former, since it's not uncommon for trolls
do do this, and then see how many replies they get in the other newsgroup.
But since she's actually replied to posts here, that can't be it.
Which then leaves clueless.
People should watch that, and remove the nonsense newsgroup before
replying.

West himself said in an interview that his accent wasn't very good at
first. In the last series McNulty made a spoof phone call in a strong
Baltimore accent and Freamon congratulated him on it. I read that in
America the gangsters were subtitled. I understood every word. In fact
I now get a few laughs by doing the accent.

I confess I frequently turn on subtitles these days, but in my case it's
not necessarily the black actors accents that give me trouble, but
mostly the young female actors on US tv shows. There's one woman on
Numb3rs who seems to blrt out her lines through clenched teeth. Mostly
incomprehensible.

When I watch "Coronation Street" I always keep the cc on.
The difference between Brit and American vocabulary isn't so much a
problem anymore after 10 years but understanding through the accents is
still sometimes a problem. Ashley is the worst!

the diction and articulation. In US dramas, more experienced actors are
fine. I never have any trouble with people such as, for example, Sam
Waterston, William Peterson, Jesse Martin, but the younger actresses
seem not to have any acting training, don't produce a voice in an easy
to understand manner, and swallow the dialogue.

I remember the Newfie jokes my Ontario friends used to tell.
To tell you the truth I didn't know what a Newfie was back then (teenager).

I've heard so much about Coronation Street and can never find it on vod. (a
lot of stuff I can't seem to find it seems)
I agree with that swallowing effect. I think that's the Valley Girl
Californication effect.
They make all their vowels sound exactly alike too.
I notice it more and more in younger actors, but especially women.
And it is beginning to creep into the broadcasting arena as well.

My aged mother often comments on that in England. Maybe it is because
most modern actors have not done time on the stage.
