Asian Canadian singer Mikey Bustos created an entertaining video on how to do a proper Filipino Accent. The tutorial is pretty in depth, so you can follow along. It features the singer’s opinion on what characterizes the Filipino people. Here’s a few tips from Mikey on the Filipino accent:
No F sounds
No V sounds (replaced with B)
No Th sounds (replaced with D or T)
There are no he/she pronouns in the Filipino language, so pronouns may get mixed up.
The Filipino accent is warm, high spirited, full of culture, unique, disarming, and is bound to make anyone smile. Have fun with the accent.
