As everyone knows, God is an Englishman. His accent is quite interesting. It is what's called RP, which you probably know means 'Received Pronunciation' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_Pronunciation. In other words, it is the 'standard' educated English accent which chaps like one tend to converge on, although one's is not as educated as his. He has what sounds like a slight undercurrent of the West Country, which is the part of England to the south and west of Oxford, and I'd guess that's where he is from originally - his R is mildly retroflex and he pronounces the vowel in 'type' rather like the vowel in 'boy', but his education and resulting social position seem to have heightened the upper class aspects of his accent and diction. Of course, he is speaking for the video audience, so it's probable that he is using a higher register than he does at home with his family, or when telling off-colour jokes about his lady friends to his football mates in the pub. You should not try to imitate his accent as it could cause you some embarrassment among native English speakers - naturally this does not include our American cousins.

Note, too, his pronunciation of words like about, aloud, and pleasure; I'd agree that sounds like a west country burr lurking under the surface. I wouldn't characterise this accent as particularly upper-class, though, especially considering the age of the speaker. Educated, certainly, but not a noticeable public school twang (let alone Eton, Oxford and the Guards). While my pronunciation has lapsed considerably in the 30+ years I've been in the colonies, I can, if I put my mind to it, produce an accent that makes it apparent just what a jumped-up little oik this video presenter really is. Even the BBC lets Just about anybody read the news nowadays, and they don't even have to wear evening dress for the broadcast!

I can hardly imitate any accent in any language, let alone specific English accent. To tell you the truth, I cannot even fully imitate Moscovian accent in my native Russian language any more, even though I lived there for like half of my life. And yes, there is a certain pronunciational accent specific to town of Moscow. But I do like to listen and try to spot the subtleties and differences. I should read in proper detail that Wikipedia article you quoted. I have already noticed that this article is translated to Hebrew but not to Russian, which adds a bit of difficulty, but that's ok. The video however was most entertaining. I couldn't help but notice a rather choppy flow of speech of presenter(s)?! which would go well with the way Russian is spoken as I was told more than once that it sounds choppy to the uneducated listener... I am not going to use the wording from the video, though...

I skimmed through the newer readable modern english bible when they came out, and found them very unsettling. Sorta like having listening to the Who performing gregorian chants. I find quoting chapter and verse most effective when playing stump the fanatic. Sounds like this one should provide good ammunition. What I found most interesting though is prices for the used copies start at twice the price for new ones. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
