Find the best American Jewish voice overs

Jewish English has its roots in the waves of Jews that arrived in the US between 1880 and 1920. They came from what is now Russia, Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine and settled mainly in New York City. As of today, there are over 2 million Jews living in the metropolitan area of New York City.

An estimated 7.6 million Jews live in the US, which is almost 2.5% of the total national population. The largest Jewish population lives in New York City. In fact, New York is home to more Jews than any other city in the world besides Tel Aviv. Much of the influence on how North American Jews speak comes from New York. According to studies, Jews, no matter where they're from or whether their parents were from New York, are more likely to have a New York-like accent.

Because Jewish speech has strongly influenced the New York accent, Jews tend to sound similar to a New Yorker, no matter where they live. Jewish English is also known for its variable up-down-up-down intonation, which makes it sound more sing-songy than other forms of English.

Due to the direct migrations from Yiddish, in Jewish English, some phrases are structured in a different way. For example, unlike other varieties of American English, a predicate can be placed in front of the subject. In Jewish English, you could say, “Ice cream I want.”

You can recognize Jewish English from famous comedians such as Jerry Seinfeld, Woody Allen, and Larry David. Because of this, people often associate this accent with comedy which makes it great for telling jokes.
