    Like if this is a tragic accent

    He’s very camp, which doesn’t help. Cockney people tend to be chirpy but on the flip side kinda tough and rough around the edges.

    Whenever Americans do English accent it’s either posh or cockney, never any other lol.

      Because we don’t know any other accents. We’re Americans.

    Why would you wanna learn the cockney accent when you can just learn a new accent

    If anything he just sounds Australian 🤣

      No, no he does not.

    Although terrible cockney accent, even if he was spot on he still would have not gotten the part. Bob a married man with children, would not have the mannerisms and voice of Marty. Good actor, but the role would not have suited him.

      David James I could see him as the spirit of Christmas future or even Christmas past.

    I think he did reasonably well in the final readthrough with the coach, and then the “audition” portion he reverted to a lot of the old vocal habits….

    • OnlyMichaelJackson (Angel)

      January 10, 2020 at 6:24 pm

      No he got them right but it didn’t flow well

    So this is what it looks like to be optimistic in the face of reality…….?🤔

    he looks like Ray Gillete from Archer

    “Standard British” only spoken by less than 1% of the entire country. Also they were both shockingly bad.

    It’s pathetic to watch effeminate guys 🤮

    Who would av realised afta watchin this clip that the American accent derived from English – Mind you, I’m British and I’m totally useless at mimicking regional accents. I can just abou’t do a London (Cockney) as it’s lazy… if you think (fink) Cockney is bad, try the Geordie (South-East) or Brummie (Birmingham/Midlands). The ‘problem’ is, is that regional accents can and do change all over our fantastic small island – i.e. My grandchildren were born and are being raised 45 miles away from where I live and we still *sound* different.

    He sounds like Frank Spencer! 😂

  23. Foyble Games

    No cockney has ever sounded like that

    AWFUL 😂
