Help in the form of a Dublin accent
Posted: August 13th, 2017, 11:17 pm
Hi! I'm looking for help on creating a convincing slight Dublin accent for a speech project. It would really help if someone with an authentic Dublin accent could read a chapter or so of the book I'm basing it on so I could try to copy the intonation. If anyone has any tips, that would be really great too.
Some notes about the character (that may or may not help):
She's around middle-class, addicted to coke and Valium, originally from Dublin but moved to New York. I would imagine her accent isn't too noticeable, but at least partially there. Some characters around her are actually still in Dublin, so a stronger accent would be necessary there.
Any advice or reading would definitely be helpful! I can link a recording of my voice attempting the accent if necessary, but I'm pretty embarrassed about it right now and would like to practice a bit more first.
