To Be Sure

My current play, opening soon, has 2 characters with Irish accents. Both actresses already had an Irish accent handy, so we didn't really talk much about the accent.

But now I'm directing a different play, a short one, where one character is from Dublin, and the actress does not yet have an Irish accent handy. But she can do a British accent. So I'm hoping to build on that, particularly because the posh Dublin accent owes a lot to the posh British "received pronunciation accent".

The key to getting an Irish accent built
is capturing the lilt.
