Cockney Accent

Cockney Accent for Mojo

Traditionally spoken by working class Londoners especially from the East End.

Here are some tips I am using to get into the accent:

Drop the letter “t” and “k” from the middle of words.

“Scottish” becomes “sco’ish”

“Blackboard” becomes “bla’board”

Drop the “h” from the beginning of words:

“Hopefully” becomes “Opefully”

Don’t pronounce the “r” at the end of words:

“Mother” becomes “mothah”

“Car” becomes “Cah”

I’m going to start off with those and build up on it over the next few weeks and I’m watching YouTube videos so I can hear the accent for myself and I’ve found a very helpful one by Jason Statham.
