Hello, I'm Gareth Jameson, I'm an actor and a voice coach from , here are some tips for working on your voice.
大家好,我是加雷斯·詹姆遜,來自的演員和發(fā)音指導(dǎo),這里有一些關(guān)于怎樣練習(xí)發(fā)音的小技巧。

Now the key to any accent is to isolate the sounds that are specific to that accent. So for a Southern American accent we're going to start with the R sound. Now there are lots of variations on what is commonly called a Southern accent, there's quite an old fashioned one that doesn't have a letter R sound after vowels and there's a more modern one that does but we're going to work for the really old fashioned one that you'd hear in Tennessee Williams plays and that you might hear in something like 'Gone With The Wind'.
掌握任何口音的關(guān)鍵都是分離出其中特有的音。那么要學(xué)美國南部口音,我們就要從R的發(fā)音開始。通常所謂的美國南部口音包括很多不同類型,有一種相當(dāng)過時(shí)的,在元音后面沒有字母R的發(fā)音;還有種更現(xiàn)代的,元音后的R發(fā)音,但我們要學(xué)習(xí)非常過時(shí)的這種,你可能在田納西威廉姆斯話劇或者像《飄》那樣的小說里聽到它。

So for this unless an R is written before a vowel it isn't pronounced, listen to this. A green bird's brighter, a green bird's brighter. So you can hear the R in green and brighter, green and brighter, but then in birds you don't hear it, bird's, in green, a green bird's brighter.
在這種口音中,除非R在元音前面,否則不發(fā)音。聽這句:A green bird's brighter. A green bird's brighter.你能聽到green和brighter里面的R,green and brighter,但是bird里的你聽不見。bird's, in green, a green bird's brighter.

Listen also to the sound that we get in words like bed and head and then words like bared and lair. Now in English they're very different with a British accent, e and air, but they become the same or very similar in a Southern accent, so when you say something like he bared his teeth in the bed, he bared his teeth in the bed sound exactly the same, bared and bed. Notice also as we said there is no R sound so in that word bared the R isn't pronounced - bared.
再聽聽我們說像bed和head這樣的單詞時(shí)候的發(fā)音,然后是像bared和lair這樣的單詞。在英國,用英式口音說它們區(qū)別很大,e和air,但用美國南部口音說它們就變成一樣的了,或者很相近。因此當(dāng)你說類似he bared his teeth in the bed這樣的話,he bared his teeth in the bed,bared和bed聽起來完全一樣。同時(shí)注意,由于我們說過不是元音前的R都不發(fā)音,因此在bared這個(gè)單詞里R不發(fā)音——bared.

Our final sound and probably one of the most important ones for a Southern accent is I. The I in like and diner and hi, it becomes much more like an A in man, so we want hi, like, diner - hi there, everything alright? hi there, everything alright? And if you want to sound slightly less posh than some Southern Americans speakers you can take off the end T sound. So you might say hi there, everything alright? some might say hi there, everything alright? and they will have the T so that's up to you.
我們要學(xué)的最后一個(gè),很可能也是最重要的一個(gè)美國南部口音的發(fā)音是I。在like、diner和hi里的I變得和man里的A更相像,所以我們要說hi,like,diner. Hi there, everything alright? Hi there, everything alright? 如果你想要說得比一些美國南部人略微規(guī)矩一點(diǎn),你可以去掉末尾的T音。你可以說,hi there, everything alright? 有些人可能會(huì)說hi there, everything alright? 他們發(fā)T的音。所以這取決于你自己。
