*gasp* Don't let my secret out!Accent is a lot to do with not being too self-conscious. It's probably no coincidence you're a thrall, too...
Given the entente (dis)cordiale, I'm perfectly happy for them not to know I'm English...
Yeah, I've had times where I've used my Canadian address to advantage. Fortunately, most of the people I know there are more interested in intelligent discussion than name-calling.
Well, the area and the ear of the person trying to learn the accent. I did "Witness for the Prosecution" a few years back and the guy playing the lead prosecutor just could NOT wrap his mouth around certain words properly. It sure made rehearsals interesting, especially when both our director and the woman brought in as a vocal coach told him why he had to be sure to say "burglary" correctly.Thank you - accents can be easy or difficult depending on the area
