Specifically, when singing in English, their speaking voice is accented, and their singing voice isn’t… As an example, I came across an Irish Youtuber named CallMeKevin, and he recently posted a cover of NIN’s “Hurt”. His voice is lovely, and he often sings snippets of songs while streaming, but as soon as he starts singing, his accent seems to drop off. I’ve noticed this for other artists, too. Can anyone tell me why this happens? Or is it just my perception?
In:
I believe in some cases, people also just train themselves a certain way, so they perform without their native accent. Gavin Dunne (Irish) and Thomas Winkler (Swiss) are two singers who I know have really heavy accents in interview, but not when performing.
That may not be the root cause but I see no reason it’s not a thing that may happen.
