it's called the transatlantic accent. watch old clark gable and humphrey bogart and catherine hepburn movies. read a book about it.

no, not the accent. The ability to speak in unrehearsed impassioned florid tirades

Read old rhetoricians' books. Learn how to structure arguments, think before speaking, etc. Start with Aristotle and move on from there.

Practice. And read more. When I was a teenager my anger and rage came out in passionate tirades about whatever video game I was playing at the time. Long, detail oriented insults and criticisms about arbitrary shit no one cared about, but people listened because of the passion and the knowledge base I was working with. This tactic didn’t work well with other topics back then because I wasn’t very worldly. I didn’t know much about anything outside my narrow scope of interest. The more I read, the more ideology and culture I was exposed to, the more I thought critically about topics, all these things allowed me to articulate my opinion or criticize others about something. All that’s left is having the personality type or the skill that rants about things. The observation of injustice or incorrect information leads to an animosity towards another person or an idea. That hate is then channeled verbally into something other people perceive as rapid, obtuse, and unnecessary. In my law school classes other students would admit that they would hate to see me in a court room, or that they wouldn’t ever talk after me in fear that I would counter their argument in my big word salad responses that professors loved. It’s really all about audience and how to tailor your message to them. How do you want to be perceived? Loved? Intellectual? Dominant? It takes effort to deviate from whatever your standard mode of operation is.

That was in class. Outside of class I’m an oaf most of the time. Charming and likable to a fault. It’s hard to get anything done when everyone wants to talk to you. This is the internet where everyone can pretend to be whoever they want. I was just musing to OP my experiences in hopes it would help. I hate when I go into that ‘mode’ he’s asking about. It feels like a shotgun of words and concepts, but it gets the job done.

Hon, just don’t. Frasier was just meant to be a parody of the upper echelon. People who speak/act like him are insufferable. Just be you.

Read out loud, bro. Especially the dialogue in dramatic scenes, and ESPECIALLY poetry. Even though I'm not a big poetry guy at all, whenever I'm feeling really shitty, I read Howl out loud and it sparks some ideas in my head.

We all know that Niles is the superior Crane

>> No.13611522

>>13610494
Both Niles and Martin are superiors to Frasier, who acts as a hybrid of the two.
