Asking for recordings of a Boston accent

Lately I have gained an interest in acquiring the so-called "Boston accent". My goal is to acquire this particular accent so well that it becomes the way I normally speak. For that purpose, I ask for recordings of people who normally speak in this accent. Here are the requirements and recommendations for such recordings.

• Normal voice - Must be of a person who normally uses that accent, not of a person who imitates that accent, nor of a person who does an impression of another person.


• No extracts from films - Generally, film actors only imitate others. This is an extension of the "normal voice" requirement.


• No stereotypes - Must not include or dwell on stereotypes of the accent (such as 'park the car' and 'wicked pissah').


• Neutral subject matter - Subject matter of recording must not be historical, political, or religious.


• No singing - Must be spoken, not sung.


• No background noise - Must be clear with no music or loud background noise.


• Recent - Must have been recorded within the past few years.

Again, my goal is to acquire the Boston accent so well that it becomes the way I normally speak.

Please send recordings of a Boston accent to me using this form.
