The way we talk has a lot to do with not just where we come from, but who we surround ourselves with. Are you a fraud then if you change the way you speak?
Today we’re joined by speech pathologist and video blogger Jennifer Tarle to take a closer look at the way we talk, and what we can do to speak more clearly to connect better with others.
Happy Sharon Needles Day!

One of the funniest, most fascinating, engaging, and informative episodes of anything I’ve come across in a long time. This episode is podcast award bait.
Yaaaaay! Finally!
I’ve been waiting for this podcast. I just love the theme so it felt like it was tailor made for me hehe. Im fascinated by languages and accent, I pay extra attention to the way people talk, specially being a foreigner myself, its a mix of curiosity and self improvement. In the end the wait didn’t fustrate me ;D
The most anticipated podcast of the season lives up to the hype.
I love the Fausto intervention (even if it did fRRRRustrate him), Jen’s knowledge on the topic, and just putting yourselves out there to be critiqued on what your company really relies on (your voices). Un-debateably one of the best podcasts you have ever recorded.
Also, I’m going to have to side with Marc when it comes to pronouncing the ‘c’ at the end of his name. Fausto does get on him to make sure to put extra emphasis on it when it is not needed.
Finally, Jen was just joyful and extremely focused on what she wanted to cover. I can’t even tame you boys the way she did. I’d love to hear her back on the show sometime to talk about fitness, Kettle bells, or even goal achievement (which seemed to come up quite often).
Worth the wait, and definitely worth subscribing for.
I will never speak English ever again. I’d be too ashamed of my foreign accent! There are “TH”s every 2 words and don’t know how to deal with them. And I am not counting all the rest…
Just exaggerating a little (isn’t this so gay too?), but so much to work on. Every word is a fight to say it rightly… sigh… in my head everything sounds great though… sigh
I finally got to listen to this episode today on my commute to work(well, I say finally because I got off my butt a got a plus membership). There were some silly distractions from the conversation (ie. when making up several types of lisps got a little goofy– but then again it was still FUN) but I really found the entire episode great. I speak and present for a living in a very male dominated/old money/republican industry so I constantly am ‘self aware’ of how I speak to these people…. the episode was one of the best ones I’ve heard from you guys. Bravo!
Loved the podcast! I am always fascinated by how many British and Australian actors use very good American accents.
Great episode! Really enjoyed it. I want more.
@MaxT,
Thanks for listening and for your comments.
I say embrace it! Accents are fabulous.
If you have any questions, just let me know.

Wow… this is SO informative. I would love to hear more from Jennifer!
Thanks guys, for this great guest and the extremely interesting topic. Love ya.
Me too!
What would you like to hear more about?
Thanks! Marc and Fausto can make any topic fun and not “fustrating”.
I just now got to listen to this show and it was great!! I was looking forward to it. Pretty fascinating stuff. I tend to throw people off myself because I was born in Brooklyn, lived there until I was seven, then lived out on Long Island until I was 18. I also grew up in a household in which both my parents have extremely thick Jamaican accents. I managed to come from all of that completely devoid of any accent whatsoever which people often note. My voice is also very deep as well so when people later find out I’m gay, It’s like I’ve blown their minds several times over because I don’t “sound gay”, or like I’m from NYC, LI or have a Jamaican background. I wonder what Jennifer would have to say about all that! Great show guys!!
Some people are better able to imitate and aquire accents . You are one of those gifted people. Thanks for listening and for taking the time to share your story.
