What in the World is the Transatlantic Accent?

Transatlantic Accent

Have you ever wondered by people in old movies and radio shows sound funny? It’s all due to the Transatlantic accent (also known as the Mid-Atlantic accent).

I was pleased to come across the following video last week. Not only did I learn something new, but I also thought of a way to incorporate it into my work-in-progress.

My villain is described as having a voice like an old radio personality and now I know enough to make the description more accurate and interesting.

I hope you enjoy this short, informative video.

If you have any favourite history-related videos or YouTube channels, I would love to hear recommendations!

P.S. Don’t forget to enter my first contest by guessing what’s in the mystery photos. There’s still time to win a prize!
