1.0 out of 5 stars
Awful, terrible, laughable...,
By Chris Wright "Malcontent" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dialect Monologues [With CD] (Audio CD)
If you are serious about learning dialects, do NOT buy this CD. If you think it would be fun to learn some different dialects to try and want to have a remote chance of fooling anyone, do NOT buy this CD. A high school drama student would have done a superior job. You would be better off learning dialects from the Simpsons or Saturday Night Live. This is not an exaggeration, this is a flat out warning. Don't waste your money.

Ridiculous!,
This review is from: Dialect Monologues [With CD] (Audio CD)
I have to agree with the other review. I bought this at a bookstore, hoping to brush up on some accents. I can do a better southern accent than this guy, and I've never even lived in the south! His NY accent is hilariously bad. I'd rather rent "Shrek" than listen to his Irish monologue. The whole thing is dopey and phoney-sounding.

Why would anyone publish this?,

I checked this book/tape set out at my local library and OH MY GOSH! The accents are AWFUL! I would be disapointed if I heard accents this bad in a Jr. High Drama production. Purchasing this will hurt more than help! I promise. I am leary of all accent books and recordings now just because of how bad this set is. If someone had relabled the cassette "a documentation of a variety of speach impediments" and given it to me, I would have beleaved it. It really is that bad!
