Hello to you all,
I used to use these forums a fair bit three or four years ago I think I went by the name Blue Flag if I remember correctly, not a great user name and I suppose my new one isn't any better. I mostly got involved in the football chat, I'm a chelsea fan so I came in for a bit of good natured stick.
I'm back because I'm in some need of some help. Now I know that's taking liberty's to not use a forum for years and then come on it to ask a big favour from its users if no one has time to help I do really understand.
I work as an actor and on Tuesday I have an audition where I need to do a very strong nottingham accent.
Why aren't they casting a nottingham actor? I hear you ask, well rest assured they probably will, my target is quite simply not to make a complete twat of myself at the audition.
I worked with a bolton accent for a few months last year and that's all I can hear in my head.
The play is set in 1911 and the chap is a miner so the dialogue is all a bit like this:
Tha's got plenty o' fizz in thee, seemly.
I was wondering if any of you folks from that part of the world would mind either recording themselves reading it (I will send you two short scenes).
Or would mind me phoning them so I can record them. Or you can phone me if you don't want to give your number to some weirdo on the internet.
I'm buying a flat at the moment so I've never been more skint in my life and I can't afford an accent coach and I can't offer you much in return other than my thanks and if you like the theatre then a couple of tickets for my next show (you don't have to accept that in case that would put anyone off helping).
I have found some recordings of the accent on the internet but they're all female so I'm really looking for a blokes help.
As you can see by my coming on here I'm a bit desperate and stressed about it so you would be doing me a huge favour.
Many Thanks for taking the time to read.
Neil
