From the Archives: A Study in Sight, Sound and Perception
From July 26, 2008 (with minor alterations)
Here’s something a bit different apart form the usually political and philosophical vibe. As someone who studied sociolinguistics in college, I thought I might challenge your ears with a little game. This is a study in your imagination and perception. Below is a video of actress Amy Walker performing 21 accents from Brisbane, Australia to Brooklyn, New York.
Step One:
Close your eyes and listen. Notice how each accent adds a particular personality and emotion. While your eyes are closed picture what kind of person each accent reminds you of and what that person looks like.
Step Two:
Now open your eyes and replay the video. Watch how Amy’s facial muscles help to define her performances and the personalities she quickly drifts in and out of with just so slight alterations.
Please respond with your comments. If you respond well, there will be more posts like this in the future. Thanks and keep waxin’!
