Hello
Recentely I discovered Werner Lämmerhirt. Can anyone tell me what accent he has and from which sounds you can tell that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZHc2rhUABo Does anyone know more singers like him? It's a pretty good exercise for my German. Yours Bart Edited by Loetsj on 30 January 2013 at 6:04pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I hear this as mostly just a standard German accent and you can tell that he had voice
lessons by how pronounced his plosives are. There are some traces of what I would guess is a Berlin-region accent in how his 'ich' ch-sounds are realised as 'sh' sounds but that's common in a lot of German regions (especially in the Rhineland) so I may be wrong there. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sounds like Standard German with a slight Rhineland (possibly Cologne?) accent to me.The only thing that is
noticeably non-standard though, is his pronunciation of the "ich-sound" (IPA:ç) as "sh" (IPA:ʃ). Other than that he sings in Hochdeutsch. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

As the others already have said, it is mostly Standard German with the exception of the the "ich" sound. It does sound a bit like "sh", however, it does not sound like "ich" is pronounced near Darmstadt ("Odenwälderisch").

A quick Wikipedia search tells us that he is indeed from Berlin.
