- Quick! I have until Thursday to obtain a southern accent! Georgia to be specific. Go go go go! It's for theater, and you'll probably see a video of it after.

I can do a decent tennessee. Close to Georgia.
Watch Inglorious Basterds. It gives you a fairly good idea.

Use Y'all speaking to large groups.
Long "I" sounds; Tin becomes Tein
If you're going to call someone, you're "gonna give'm a holler".
Shopping cart is a buggy.
Something you enjoy is "more fun than a barrel of monkeys"
"Jeet": Have you eaten recently?/ Did you eat? (Jeet yet; have you eaten yet?)

And of course the drawl.

I'm not sure that you would be able to come out for filming by thursday. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I might be able to play an accent, but no promises.

Why does it have to be a southern accent?

I doubt I can make it out in time. But I do have a phone if needed. People around here can barely tell I'm a outsider.

And Jan, listen to some older country music. Learn the words and sing along. You'll pick up the accent easily. If you need some good examples;

Brooks & Dunn
Alan Jackson
Dwight Yoakam
The Oak Ridge Boys

That sort of thing

Isn't there a redneck dictionary he can read? I saw one at Wal-Mart once.
