QUite, Jeanie, Recieved it is, madame. The concepet of moving the word forward in one's mouth beefoh letting it out of one's mouth as well as clpng the short o are other big changes for someone who grew up in Ohio where we pretty much get the word finished on the back of the tongue then throw it out of the mouth.
At any rate, old chaps, I am at least fooling some of the elderly, small children and people of foreign backgrounds and the hearing impaired.
The other interesting thing is that I have NEVER done any theater but comedy and everything I did last night got a chuckle because the audience somehow expected I was going to be funny, regardless of the fact this is not a comedy. I am afraid I am stuck in the role of a non-serious performer.
