Subject: the biggest problem is there's no 'one' southern accent - Folks from boston don't sound like folks from connecticut any more than folks from alabama sound like folks from Texas - and Texas especially is a HUGE state - folks from East Texas do not sound anything like folks from north texas- If there's one thing I can say about Dallas is the word yes is one syllable - East Texas? I believe yes becomes a three syllable word!! LOL
In reply to: TF 's message, "That's all we need is another television show that makes southern people look ignorant and trashy. LOL IMO no one can fake a southern accent effectively. If you aint from the south you cant sound like you are." on 18:54:22 03/05/12 Mon

[> [> [> [> [> Yes, I know there are lots of very different Southern accents, and I'm famililar with many of them, since I have family all over the South. The problem is that when actors try to "fake" a Southern accent, they aren't actually "doing" any accent in particular. Instead they are just doing a conglomeration of accents that amount to what someone thinks a generic Southerner sounds like, which isn't how any of us actually sound in reality. -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 22:08:36 03/07/12 Wed [1]
