Question: What are some good American accents to do for my Theatre Studies exam!?
My Theatre Studies exam is in 6 weeks, and for one part of it I have to demonstrate my proficiency in 10 different accents; 4 of them have to be various American (US) accents!. I also have to choose something to perform using them, which can be a poem, part of a novel, or from a play, film script or even a commercial to suit the particular accent!.
What are some good American accents to do!? I'd like at least one to be pretty challenging in order to show I've really tried!.
also, can you suggest some good material to work with!?
Thank you!Www@QuestionHome@Com
