Question: Any tips on doing a Yiddish accent!?
I'm trying to get the feel of the character Fagin in Oliver!, I thought I'd try approaching from his Jewish side before his Cockney side, any pointers on a Yiddish accent!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
go to your local theater company, or teacher if you're in a class, and ask if you can borrow a cd that has a yiddish accent on it!. You'll be able to listen ot what it really sounds like and practice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
