A little bit of drama
Some time ago I was in a play called "The Young Man from Atlanta" by Horton Foote. The lead character, Will Kidder, is a Houstonian in his mid-60s who is about to be fired from the company he has worked for all his life. The young boss will claim that they have to downsize. To compound the pain, Will's son Bill has recently drowned. In the following speech, Will is rattling off his views to his younger associate (who will wind up taking his place in the company). Hope you enjoy the accent.

Good Lord, that was good and I would like to hear more of that if you are so inclined......nice accent...you sounded like someone from here, but with an education.....:)
Gee, thanks, Ayekah! Maybe next time it will be an extract from a play by Arthur Miller in which I had the role of a 90-year-old Russian Jew. (I loved that part, and evidently, so did Arthur Miller.) Now THAT required an accent.
Go for it.......I double dog dare ya!!
Wow! Ya done good! I am impressed with your thespian ability, heartbroken for this character and durn it all, now I want to see the play!
Nice David! Love the accent. I will audiopost again, when I have time. I didn't like listening to mine because the Great Lakes vowel shift is so apparent (number sounded like nember, for example).
You gotta do the double dog dare thing, that's the rule.
