Thread Name: Singing with Irish Accent - Why!!?
Subject: RE: Singing with Irish Accent - Why!!?
Or you can do it with an anti-accent. I could never reproduce Noel Coward's terribly, terribly upper class English vowel sounds, so when I sing Mad Dogs and Englishmen I use an exaggerated version of my native Cheshire/Lancashire accent to emphasise my lack of breeding.

Try for instance bluegrass in broad Scots, or an Irish song in Hispanic. Just occasionally it might work.
