Speak with a New York Accent

The Long U thickens
boost, confused, crucial, include, indisputable
The AW sound thickens
always, gauntlet, long, office, talking
Drop R-vowel endings
before, discarded, entire, fear, scarcely
The following speech is a New Yorker confiding his troubled thoughts to his therapist.
I’ve been in therapy for years, and I feel safe in this office. For a therapist, you have a welcoming manner. My previous shrink made me feel like, I don’t know, something discarded, like a faded T-shirt.
I’ve been feeling overwhelmed. I want to sleep all day. My biggest fear is that I won’t be able to keep it together and I’ll crack up.
I can’t believe things have gotten this bad. I mean, I’ve always had issues, but now even my issues have issues of their own.
It’s not that I’ve failed at anything. I live my life with some sense of purpose. I just wish I wasn’t so confused. What do you think? How can I boost my confidence?
The handbook "Speak with a New York Accent" takes the exotic art of performing with dialects and delivers easy-to-follow lessons (including a longer list of those exceptional short A sounds). Break all barriers to learning the New York accent with this book, and at your next audition the casting directors will be scraping their jaws off the floor.

Been working from abroad with New Yorkers for more than a year now. And yes I do obviously have an accent but never thought it was that big until some guy told me at the end of a conversation “spasibo”, and I’m not even Russian. I suppose he didn’t mean it in a bad way, but it made me feel like an idiot for some reason. So thanks for these vids and keep them coming. ❤️

So that's why it's easier for me to understand a New York accent than others 🤣 I’m Russian
