    The funny thing with Russian accents is that lowering the voice while speaking English isn't for the purpose of humor, when you speak Russian your voice is automatically lower. This can count to a lot of other Slav languages too, that is why a Slavic speaker grown up in a western country can have such a high sounding voice when speaking English (or other western languages). For example: I live in the Netherlands, and I saw this really beautiful blonde girl, from which I assumed she was Dutch, she was speaking to someone on her phone in Dutch. Her voice was so high pitched like you would expect a Dutch girl to sound, cute and loudly. Later on I overheard someone talking fluently and perfectly Russian, it was really beautiful to hear someone pronouncing the language so perfectly, it sounded so smooth and soothing. The person speaking it sounded like a grown-up (let's say somewhere around 25 year old) woman, but she had a significantly deeper pitch than most Dutch woman and it just was so satisfying and relaxing to hear that woman speak Russian, so I looked over to see who the professional speaker would be, only to find out that it was the same blonde girl which I assumed was Dutch, talking with her Russian family member over the phone. I was actually shocked to find out she was Russian XD

    This is the best Russian lesson I’ve had yet. I practice my vowel sounds, and now I am entertaining friends all the time with my Russian accent.
  • I am Russian, moved to Latin America when I was 3 and completely lost the accent. Need it back for intimidation purposes, thank you so much!
  • I love that you explain WHY there are these accent differences, not just what they are!

    I’m Russian. I was born in Moscow. But I was adopted when I was 16 months and I really want to learn the language and be able to speak in a Russian accent so thank you for this vid 🤍

    This was EXCELLENT!!!! And, I loved the humor in it all! 😂. Thank you!
  • i tried doing a russian accent on my own before learning this and my dad said it was more french than russian and probably a mix of other accents

    Отлично……I see I am not the first person here to practice sounding “Russian” for D&D…my problem is I actually studied the Russian Language at university for a few years so it is very hard for me to “fake” a Russian accent because I just slip into speaking bad Russian. Thank you for the lessons..I never thought about the things you are teaching so I appreciate the help!! Спасибо❤️

    My partner and I (she's Russian) watched this and laughed our asses off. We both feel if you keep making content (anything that displays your adorable and hilarious personality) you'll have 10's and 1000's of thousands of subscribers in no time. GL!
  • I love Russian accent. I like to narrate my life outloud 95% of the time. Uhdrodrah Cleadrvasser is how I think I'd pronounce my name? Maybe. Lol thanks for the video! 💜
  • @clxvdly5482
    I love the russian accent and the language aswell but I’m having trouble learning it
  • My father was Russian and tried to teach me this, especially for learning Russian as a youth. Very helpful! Sounds like my dad 🥲 Miss him.

    This is the most helpful video I’ve found so far, I’m prepping for a role in a play that requires a Russian accent

    Большое спасибо Диана! I was searching for videos to improve my акцент and I'm glad that I've finished the whole video as I thought this wasn't what I was looking for. But to my surprise I've learned how to pronounce the "r" even better.

    This entire time I was laughing because off the sentences you used to show the accent plus the accent was really funny to me.
