“The 'y'all' Southern accent turned things even harder for me. Now I am getting good at it.”
Erick Siqueira
“Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music. This is an advantage itinerant preachers have over those who are stationary, as the latter can not well improve their delivery of a sermon by so many rehearsals.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Latinos are very sensitive to different accents. I sort of lost my Mexican accent, and that's what they were looking for in this case — some sort of neutral accent that could be understood on both coasts and in different Hispanic communities: Puerto Ricans on the East Coast, Cubans in Fort Lauderdale and Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles.”
Jorge Ramos
“They seem to be charmed by my Southern accent.”
Cleo Moore
“Tell me the truth - do you think I've lost my Southern accent? I feel it comes back to me only when I'm shouting at fights or at baseball games.”
“I wanted the person with the Southern accent to be the smartest person in the room.”
James Duff
“who happen to speak with an accent, a southern accent.”
Jeff Sessions
