From NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday, an interview with Sam Lilja, the dialect coach for Little Women and other films. With a quick lesson in how to do an Irish accent:
Say the words whale, oil, beef, hooked.
Then say them all together, fast.
[This lesson came in handy when I learned about Orson Bean’s later-life politics.]

ReplyDeleteThat’s why we love you.
ReplyDeleteAw, shucks. :)
