Accent Work

So, I have begun working on Aussie and should be playing with Dutch sometime soon.

I just wanted to mention that I will eventually be doing an advice column for accent work. Since I haven't done a whole lot with start-finish methodology and kinda brushed it off with "it comes naturally to me," I thought I'd try to pin down some things that help.

I will give a tiny preview of ways to improve accent work:
-Resources
-Script Analysis
-Over extend the stereotype
-Minimize the stereotype thereafter
-See if you can force yourself to think in the accent
-Do tongue twisters in the accent
-Sing in the accent

[That's right, I've sung in accents. When I was in 5th grade, I was in choir and never sung in an American accent. I don't know if anyone ever noticed, but I was definitely singing in an Australian accent.]

So, there's that to look forward to!
