I spent my formative years in the South. I went to speech therapy to rid myself of my accent.
One of the best exercises was learning to speak with different accents in different dialects. This has actually come in very handy.
- koolba 9y agoWhich do you pick as your default for new encounters?
- KGIII 9y agoA tempered Bostonian. If it is formal, Broadcast English. If I'm out and about, I'll do a mild form of the regional accent, as appropriate. Off topic, but the missus gets a kick out of it. It's a valuable skill. I do a mean Down East accent, which is different than the rest of Maine. (I live here now.) With practice, you get an ear for the variations.
