Question:

How do you do a Michigan/Midwestern accent? Please include specific pronunciations of words?

I'm in a play and need to do this accent! PLEASE HELP! INCLUDE PRONOUNCIATIONS OF LETTERS AND COMMON WORDS! THANKS

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: lol! I live in Michigan and I know from friends in California and Florida that it is all up in the nose. Think nasally. I found a website that gives some pronunciations of words from actual Michiganders. (i don't know if i agree with all of them lol, but the majority is correct) http://www.michigannative.com/ (go to "Michigan Accent") this website also gives some phrases that we michigan people use. You can also go to http://web.ku.edu/idea/northamerica/usa/... and download some free samples of Michigan people talking. You might be able to practice then! Hope this helps you! And good luck!
