Joga 1,315 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I always see 'pronounciation' as one of the main concerns for koreans. What is up with that? Is Korean hard to pronounce? Even for people that have been speaking it since birth? I have never heard of issues with pronunciation before kdramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STORM 7,555 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Because it's part of acting If someone can't articulate well, the character loses depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwai 15,203 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I think they mean more like diction/enunciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YooJeong 6,303 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I think they mean more like diction/enunciation. ^ Pretty much~ If you can't understand what the actor/actress is saying clearly, it's hard to understand the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiroriii~ 3,297 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I think they mean more like diction/enunciation. this. in my case i'm a spanish speaker and i get so annoyed at the president of my country because when hes giving a speech all i can focus on is his awful pronunciation, it really takes me away from the content of his speech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joga 1,315 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 everyone values something different why do you worry about what koreans worry about Because I thought it would be interesting to see how the average person pronounces korean vs how they expect screen actors to pronounce korean? Kind of like how Actors in America were trained to have a mid-atlantic accent, which is why black and white Hollywood movies sound the way they do.

sakurahanabira 6,633 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Did you read my post at all or it's still important in acting. Even American actresses and actors have to take a diction/pronunciation class. You can't just talk normally the way you do in real life when you're acting.

TrueColors 582 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'm a drama major and I have a Speech class dedicated to pronunciation/diction. It's important everywhere in the world tbh for an actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thigh-high feminist 15,766 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Would you want to watch a movie where you're constantly thinking, "what??" Cause you can't make out what they are saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurahanabira 6,633 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 lol...yes you can? If that was the case for Americans, that would also be a constant criticism for american actors as well. If you can't enunciate your speech would be hard to understand. There's a reason why speech/diction classes are one of the basic classes drama/acting majors are required to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosh 1,349 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 lol...yes you can? If that was the case for Americans, that would also be a constant criticism for american actors as well. it is... but korean and english are different languages. korean tends to have stricter rules in what sounds are and are not acceptable, and therefore there is a higher amount of words that sound alike. that's my guess.
