Thread Name: Singing with Irish Accent - Why!!?
Subject: RE: Singing with Irish Accent - Why!!?
yeah.. alright.. my even more considered view
is that it is no more or less valid/invalid
than actors attempting accents to perform as a character other than themselves..
most often not very convincing, frequently distracting,
and occasionaly downright bizarre and hilarious.
but for the rare few with a highly developed
and sensitive talent accents..
[and help of expert voice coaching specialists]
who can pull it off convincingly.
something to be admired..
but.. i dont know..
in terms of singers..
especially in specialist styles like ours,
and mor often when you personaly know in day to day real life
the individuals attempting to fake it..
still seems an unacceptably distracting/alienating/embarrasing stylistic artifact..
