Back to Journal  « Sin City | International Dialects of English Archive | Interroview » International Dialects of English Archive April 7, 2005 We closed Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten at Deep Dish Theater in Chapel Hill, NC last month. This was the first time I've ever had to do a serious Irish accent, beyond a stereotypical impersonation or two (which often sounds more Scottish than it does Irish; I have a habit of rolling my Rs). One of the resources that vocal coach Jeffrey Blair Cornell introduced to us to help with problems like mine was IDEA: The International Dialects of English Archive at the University of Kansas. It features dozens of MP3 recordings of scripted and unscripted speeches by native speakers in various accents from around the world. A great resource, and a wonderful solution to a problem specific to actors. Now that I'm done with the play, maybe I'll start working on my Australian accent. Cheers.
