Posted: 5/21/05 at 9:38pmYears ago, my sister and I took our first trip to Italy. While walking around Pompeii, a local pointed to us and said "Bensonhurst?" Not even "Brooklyn." He was able to nail the exact neighborhood. I guess I have an accent.

bag comes out "beeyag"
"wooder" instead of "waaater"
and "myaaad" instead of "maaaad"
Oh yeah. That's so my voice too. I never realized it till someone made fun of me in high school for the way I said "speeanish clyaaass" (or spanish class).

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous

Posted: 5/22/05 at 2:33pmeveryone i know from every school i've been to claims i have a very refined british accent, no one in my family can hear this nor can any of my close friends, but i'm slowly accepting that it must be there. I find it ironic since i was born and raised in central jersey.

Posted: 5/22/05 at 7:29pmMy english teacher claims to be from Connecticut and her A's are very over exaggerated (IE Africa comes out Aaaaafrica. and Happy is Heeyappy.) Do people in CT really speak that way? I've been to CT and I don't seem to recall hearing any accent really. She always tells us that everyone outside of NY speaks that way and that we're the weird ones...hmmm

Posted: 5/22/05 at 9:18pmapparently when i went to visit a college in boston, they told me i had a new york accent.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 5/22/05 at 11:08pmI used to live in Maryland, and I still have slight accent left over from living there. For instance, I say "warsh" instead "wash". I hate that I have the accent.

Posted: 5/23/05 at 9:54pmI guess I have a slight new york accent, my friends who moved to chicagoa number of years ago thinks I do. But I have no where near say a stereotypical westchester or brooklyn accent. My grandma has the best 1940's brooklyn accent and my dad does the long island thing where he ads er to a's (is. samanther)
