Northern help: Uk northern accent, - Help.com

Uk northern accent,

Anyone know any tricks to help learn how to speak with it? The only northerners I know are male so I find it quite hard to get it right from them.

I need it for a play… Im not just some odd northern obsessive.

Any sneaky tips or tricks?

I live in Texas, and I’m able to speak with an English accent when I choose due to watching Harry Potter. xD No, I’m serious. Find a movie with people speaking in the accent needed and perhaps that’ll work. I wish you luck!

I said if you can stand it :(

And I’m such a nice guy that I could probably eat a baby and still be thought of as a pretty decent bloke.
