Help with Canadian accent?

[luzula]

There's a podfic in which I'm supposed to do an overdone version of a Canadian saying "Sorry!" (actually, it's an American imitating a Canadian accent). Is there anyone who could record an exaggerated version of a Canadian-accented "sorry" for me, so I can hear what it sounds like? I usually don't try to imitate accents, but in this case it's necessary for the story...

It's weird, because this is Ray Vecchio imitating Fraser's accent, and I don't even think of Fraser as having a distinctive accent. Maybe I'm just no good at distinguishing different North American accents.

Luz, if you want to hear a good version of the Canadian "sorry" check out Martha Burns in Slings and Arrows. (She does a lot of apologizing in Season 1) Hers is very pronounced. The Canadian "sorry" has a lot of "o" in it.

Sage said the same thing about Ellen's "sorry's" in the DW comments, actually! : )

I love all the comments to this question. I have to admit, too, that this is one verbal tic I have picked up from hanging around Canada fandom. Probably living in Minnesota doesn't help; we seem to share these things.

My thoughts exactly.

"Sorry! Sorry, everyone! Sorry for caring!"

HEE! :-D

Hee! Great minds. And, oh, how I love Ellen.
