Worked with an #acting #coaching client on #regionalisms, #accents and #dialects they absorbed where they were during their formative years speaking. Got into specifics of how placements and vowels can shift. Good to hear them do text various ways shifting between things.

Weekend college mini-reunion with two besties - one from DC, one from Texas, and me (NC). Discussing kombucha -
TX: "It's basically the health nut version of coke."
DC: "Is that what you drink instead of soda?"
Me: "Yeah, I don't drink much pop."

BFF's husband is amused... #Regionalisms #Dialect

I'm curious about something. Please boost for reach.

Have you ever heard a native of the British Isles use the word "cocksucker"?

(If they grew up/have lived many years in the US it doesn't count).
