《最强英音》

「最强英音」系列我希望一直写下去,

因为这些都是绝好的英音典范。

我有责任掘地三尺,将他们挖出来分享给伙伴们,

让大家可以有更多的英音素材用于平时的练习。

        今天我在《最强英音》专栏里来说说Rosamun Pike。她还有一个中文名字裴淳华。她说这是她伴侣在2016年他们来华宣传Gone Girl的时候给她起的,她很喜欢华夏文化,所以也要求华文媒体使用这个中文名字。



很多人都记得她是皮尔斯布鲁斯南版007的邦女郎,出名到客串了007搞笑版憨豆的Johny English电影。同时,还因为这个角色的成功,加上她自己纯正性感的声音,她录制了基本007的有声小说。当然,还有我曾经和大家介绍过的《傲慢与偏见》。有声书通常会让当时成功的电影中的角色来录制同样的版本,但前提是这名演员要有相当漂亮和纯正的发音。Rosamund Pike在当年的《傲慢与偏见》中饰演了大姐,因而随后录制了这本时长11个多小时的长篇巨作。


由于她的电影作品众多,所以很多人认为她是美国人。因为在她的电影甚至一些有声书中,都使用了美音。这对于想要占领更多英语观众市场的演员来说是很重要的。她已经有了令人艳羡的纯正英音,再加上美音就可以打入更广阔的市场。在今天的视频中,她就建议那些想进入北美市场的英国演员,应该要请口音教练来训练自己的口音养成。她自己在当年出道时没有意识到这点,错过了不少机会。


今天我和大家分享的这段视频仍然是Rosamund Pike最自然本真的英式口音。她的发音是目前大家知道的一些女演员中相当上乘的。这段对话中,她的口语表达自然,发音在这样的状态下仍然控制得纯正和清晰,令人赏心悦目。

练习原文


Wise words of wisdom for aspiring actors.


I think it’s just you’ve got to be true to yourself. I think that’s the bottom line is that you kind of know your truth. You know if you have a secret about something. That’s always my touchstone is…if I can imagine many other people playing the part well and I think I haven’t unlocked the secret about it that means that I should be the one to play it. You know I feel I have to have an edge I suppose or something that a connection that means you can’t ignore. It’s something alcohol chemical almost. And I think it’s kind of speak your mind too. I think you never regret calling someone on something. You never regret you know challenging…I thought if it’s what you feel. If you feel that something isn’t on the page it probably isn’t. I’ve only learnt this in recent years. There are plenty of times when I’ve played parts and had a much more interesting character in my head then could ever be achieved on the screen because it’s ultimately in what the character does.  Sometimes what they sand but usually what they do that leave the sort of impact of that person on the movie and on the audience. And often I’ve developed a kind of complex set of contradictions and internal worlds for people and realized when I see the finished film. Oh, you know, no one can get any of that. You know, so I think it’s important just sort of defend what you think about things.


And for any English actor I would say spend you money on a dialect coach and master in American accent because it’s more and more and more useful. For me, I think the dedication that I’ve put into becoming fluent in American means that I can be as free as I can in English when I am speaking American but only now and I didn’t…no one gave me that advice at the beginning of my career and I was held back by it I think because there was a time when you know I could master the accent but I wasn’t free to inhabit it you know. And that’s…there’s two different things and now I can be as deft as I can in English with English accent. So that’s my strongest piece of advice!

英音发音要点

  1. 要留意英音中类似head的发音位置,不要过于扁平靠后。在was held back这里可以明显区分出不同。

  2. 在处理know等地方时,留意不要过度靠前。那会让你变得很小姑娘,或者娇柔做作。记得多在Rosamund Pike的口音中找到准确的位置。她的发音很舒适纯正中性。

  3. 要留意在这里part的处理,这是相当好的英音示范音。

  4. 更多发音提高和训练请参考以下方式进入专业的英音正音练习社群,这里有一大群喜欢和掌握了英音的伙伴们。
