I'm auditioning for a production of JRB's Parade next month, and because it's set in Georgia, I thought I'd better teach myself to speak in a Southern accent before then. Anyway, I think I've got the basics, but I'd like to do some practice on texts written in Southern accents, but can't think of any. Can anyone think of any plays or books with Southern dialogue that I could try?
