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·詹姆逊，来自的演员和发音指导，这里有一些关于怎样练习发音的小技巧。

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'.
掌握任何口音的关键都是分离出其中特有的音。那么要学美国南部口音，我们就要从R的发音开始。通常所谓的美国南部口音包括很多不同类型，有一种相当过时的，在元音后面没有字母R的发音；还有种更现代的，元音后的R发音，但我们要学习非常过时的这种，你可能在田纳西威廉姆斯话剧或者像《飘》那样的小说里听到它。

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.
在这种口音中，除非R在元音前面，否则不发音。听这句：A green bird's brighter. A green bird's brighter.你能听到green和brighter里面的R，green and brighter，但是bird里的你听不见。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.
再听听我们说像bed和head这样的单词时候的发音，然后是像bared和lair这样的单词。在英国，用英式口音说它们区别很大，e和air,但用美国南部口音说它们就变成一样的了，或者很相近。因此当你说类似he bared his teeth in the bed这样的话，he bared his teeth in the bed，bared和bed听起来完全一样。同时注意，由于我们说过不是元音前的R都不发音，因此在bared这个单词里R不发音——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.
我们要学的最后一个，很可能也是最重要的一个美国南部口音的发音是I。在like、diner和hi里的I变得和man里的A更相像，所以我们要说hi,like,diner. Hi there, everything alright? Hi there, everything alright? 如果你想要说得比一些美国南部人略微规矩一点，你可以去掉末尾的T音。你可以说，hi there, everything alright? 有些人可能会说hi there, everything alright? 他们发T的音。所以这取决于你自己。
