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.

Thanks, that would be awesome! Although you don't have to record if you're busy--I think I'm getting the idea from people's comments. : )

I do read Fraser differently from, say, Kowalski or Frannie or Vecchio, but I don't think of that in terms of accent, though obviously they do have different accents. It's more about trying to give their voices something of their personality or attitude, you know? Which is sometimes easy and sometimes hard.

Recorded a wee bit on Soundcloud, complete with babbling, here! http://soundcloud.com/helens78/sorry :)

Hey, I like listening to you ramble. : )

I can't seem to play it, though! I don't know what is up with that--I can't play my own tracks on SoundCloud right now either. Hmm. If you could make it downloadable, that would be great, because downloading seems to work.

Doh! I always set things to downloadable and forgot that I needed to do that manually. :D Done now!

It worked now! Thanks for demonstrating. : )
