Mags: "Well, Mama, you move this like this and you put this over here and the rest I just sorta make up."
This morning I am linking-up with the great and powerful, Kelley from Kelley's Breakroom. She asked us to answer questions and read some words on camera. That way, she could hear all the different dialects
That's when I decided to wrangle up Chris, my speech pathologist husband, to join in the fun. But how were we going to record ourselves? Chris and I decided iMovie on my Mac would be the easiest way to go. "Easiest."
Recording went as expected. We were goofy, confused and made little to no sense. Then, the real meat of the project showed up. I had to figure out how to save the movie and upload it to YouTube. Piece of cake, right?
For some technically savvy people, yes. For me? It probably wasn't the smartest idea to start it at 9:30 PM. But after I used Google and the Help button A LOT, things came together. Soon I was adding clips, exporting, importing, uploading and posting. And the greatest part? IT ALL WORKED!
So, without further ado, I present to you,
Dialect Disasters with Chris and Mel
Thanks, Kelley! We had a lot of fun.
Hold on! I can hardly get through the first question without laughing! POP? TONIC? For real?? Oh, I love this video so much. Y'ALL are so stinking cute! It's GREAT to hear your voices. I love that you are also a speech pathologist, Chris. That is so cool! Where does he work? I'm being all nosey. I am going to link this up for you. Is that okay? Love, love it!!
ReplyDeleteYay!! Haha. We are such goofballs. I'm so glad you like it. We hada blast! :)
DeleteYes! Thank you for linking it for me!!!
Also, Chris works in a school system in Virginia called Loudoun. :)
DeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh this was hilarious to watch! Ya'll would die to listen to me and the Hubs! Talk about some southern accents!

I just discovered that Chris and I say all the words the same way. I guess that's because Buffalo is so close to the Canadian border. It's a 1.5 hour drive from Mississauga to Buffalo. Very interesting, well done guys.
ReplyDeletewicked awesome
ReplyDeletehere's deana bobina...her southern accent is thick you can hear molasses pouring from each word: http://youtu.be/e-_vbhOwxVk

One day, Tuck and/or Mags are going to want to borrow the car. And threaten to release this widely if you say no.
ReplyDeleteIn NYC, I believe our answers to these questions would be "Get outta my way, I don't have time for this."
Hilarious!! Found you from Kelly's Break room... Wishing I had more of an accent.
ReplyDeleteOh next to NY accents I do love a good Boston one.. You're like my favorite scenes in Good Will Hunting. Lol
ReplyDeletePA accents sound a lot like your husband's.. I love to hear how other people sound, your laugh is as wonderful as I expected it would be. What fun!

Thanks so much for turning me on to this one, Mel. You guys did a great job. I love the "costumes." And I love your accent. Except bubbler. We're dumping that one. :)
