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.

Since it's Vecchio, I could see him doing the American (exaggerated) version of the Canadian accent, in which case I should think it would work nicely to have him say "SORE-ree" instead of the usual "SORR-ree." If that makes sense.

You mean with a longer vowel, right? Helens78 did a little recording to demonstrate for me, and between her and all the comments, I think I'm getting it now. : )

Yes, just like that. I listened to her recording after I left this comment, and what she gave you (which was brilliant; god, I love fandom) was exactly what I hear in my head.
