link to download thingy

This is the song I used to audition for the lead in Guys and Dolls last year.

Someone download it, because it took a long arse time for me to upload it. It -should- only take a minute to do so and I am on dial up.. so you guys should go faster than that.

O_o Not what I expected.

The accent is fake.

I know that, still not what I expected.

I'm guessing that's not good.

It's probably the song.

I think the song was cute.. the character was cute. She is the leader of a dance group (at a place called the "hotbox") and has been engaged 7 years. Very naive.

damn.. could you fit any more dipthongs into each vowel? ...what is the accent?

Kinda funny though.

In a sort of.. I don't quite know what to make of it way.

1940's Northeast = very very effed up accent.

and what is a dipthong? No one I know knows what it is.

In phonetics, a diphthong is a vowel combination usually involving a quick but smooth movement from one vowel to another, often interpreted by listeners as a single vowel sound or phoneme.While "pure" vowels, or monophthongs, are said to have one target tongue position, diphthongs have a moving tongue.

Ohm.. I'm just gonna grin and nod like I understand that.

Sounds fine! I actually like the accent too (But then again I used to go to a lot of plays back in school so..)

*tsk Richter* *run*

Oooh I love it! I am going to have to find a version with music and whatnot.

Thanks guys.

Cute!

Yay linguistics!

I'll have to download this after work. Can't be worse than your normal accent Joli.

I'm gonna divorce you for that one.

no, that's definantly not a north east accent, that's a southwest accent, that's what people from "new yoik" sound like.
north east is like maine, ayup.

EDIT: very nice singing, by the way.

new york is in the southwest?

it's further southwest than maine, so it's southwest.
