Weeell now...
So, I didn't expect to have an accent demo this quickly, but since one of the modders needed it, I guess I might as well post it.
I've been trained to do Scottish and Irish accents, but it's been a couple of years. Brushing up on them pretty much only required listening to a few clips on IDEA and following along out loud. After that, it was pretty much just finding some lines of dialogue and recording.
Unfortunately, since I had university training with the Irish and Scottish, I can't really help people learning them. To be honest, you wouldn't want my advice if you knew what I went through to get Irish. We went through a play (I believe Look Back in Anger) and underlined every line of dialogue making phonetic changes and inflection notes... and the play was already WRITTEN in an Irish speaking style. Feckin' instead of fucking. The whole thing. Script analysis is not fun, but it's an integral part of learning any new accent or character. I'm sure I'll have a long post on script analysis later. In the meantime, voice candy to sedate you!
And of course, head here if you're having trouble seeing it on this page.
Maybe one of these days, I'll actually bother to learn how to do nice video editing instead of just posting pictures like this! Until next time!

It occurred to me after posting that that I had inserted a phrase at the end intended only for the mod leader, but I guess that gives you a hint of what I may be working on soon. Dutch accent, should be interesting...
