I'm an actor, and I have an audition in 24 hours where I have to do a Boston accent.

Modal verbs - B1

The professional dialect coach here in New York City.

And hopefully she can help me master my Boston accent for today's audition.

So I have come to you because I need a little help.

I have an audition coming up and I need to master a Boston accent.

To master an accent, you would practice for anywhere from 3 to 4 to five weeks.

But we will work with what you have, and I will get you as close to it is possible.

I've just been wicked distracted lately between the love of my life moving away in my on shop closing.

I've got no idea what's next, but if this game gets rains out, I'm gonna go down to the Paki for some beers.

You see, if Ricky's around, I can't sit around this house anymore.

First of all, take a back step from actually trying to do any acting connection.

I would say this to anybody, whether your audition is in five hours or five weeks.

Okay to listen to, we're gonna watch a scene.

Convinced of that till next month when you get to James Lemon, then you're gonna be talking about how the economies of the economy here, that the economy's economy, economy, economies and he's very natural with this.

He's not showing his accent how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 17 40 c 17 40.

Very important thing to do that you don't repeat every sentence with a falling inflection.

So you're not dropping the ends like that.

Okay, here's what I want to say instead of Here's what I want to say.

I want to finish the thought out here way back in 17 40 17 40 17 40.

Doesn't mean that every single thought has to be up.

I just want you to be mindful that the habit, especially for the average American, is to drop it down.

And that's how you could use an actor or anybody to help you break it down.

But if you watched the departed, you've got really good accent work.

The difference between the usage of the word spot.

They turned off their cellphones, search randomly for calls made from the area.

The narrow the area, would you see there for service is what you're gonna get.

Why the fuck did they turn their phones off?

And then all of a sudden, Mark Wahlberg walks in and his accent's perfect again.

Not that every single human being in a film or play has to sound exactly like so choosing one person instead of trying to listen to five different people.

If you're going, I'm going to sound like Mark.

We'll put the fucking cameras in this place.

Then he's gonna be the one to help you with the fucker.

A lot of accents are housed primarily in one area.

Boston has a little bit of forward and up almost into the mask.

That's why some people sound a little bit more nasal.

There's a lot of lateral sounds, so that's where we're going to start.

I want you to think of the ass sound, which makes your lips feel very flat, horizontal relaxed.

And the resignation of the vowel is in the front of your mouth.

So it's gonna feel right here around your lips.

Specifically Southie, which is what they were gonna go for.

Is the ad in Pat So it's just say that word, Pat.

Now say, man, Man, What you did was actually terrific already for Boston.

In the word man, you've got to nasal continents.

You've got an M and an end and normally with the Southie accent that a sound becomes nasal prior to an ember.

And then you say these words with me say mass Mass Pat, Pat man man Cat, cat.

Campbell, you don't go Paki because then your audition mate like that.
