What are Southern accents?
Southern accents have distinctive speech patterns and pronunciation styles. Vowel sounds, in particular, have the most vocal emphasis. For example, the “a” sound in “cat” has a lengthened “ah” sound, so it sounds like “caht.” Whereas the “i” sound in “ride” is pronounced as a diphthong, sounding like “raahd.” The letter “r” is prominent, in most words, like “idea,” which sounds like “idear.” And the “o” sound in “home” is monophthongized, sounding like “hahm.” Southern accents also feature a distinctive “drawl,” or elongated pronunciation of certain syllables. So the voice has a slow, relaxed quality. Specify in your project brief the exact southern accents you need, providing examples to guide the voice actor. For example, ‘We’re looking for a Texan drawl like Matthew McConaughey’s from ‘Mud,’ for a video game character, or we need a female Tennessee southern accent like Reese Witherspoon’s from ‘Sweet Home Alabama.’
