Eliza Jane's 10 Tips for Nailing the Irish Accent

1) Short "a" in HAT and AFTER and prior to "R" in START widens to phoneme we use in
General American as the first part of the diphthong "eye" [a]

2) Short "u" in UP and COME rounds to sound we use in General American in "put" and "could"

3) Short "i" (BIT) and short "e" (BET) widen "bitten"
becomes "betten" and "better" moves toward "batter"

4) Close mouth and start the long "i" diphthong with more of
a short "u" (FUCK) sound for words like my, die, etc.

5) Close mouth and start the "OW" diphthong with
more of a short "e" (BET) sound for words like how, down, etc.

6) Pay attention to the spelling in the words Americans normally merge to a simple "er" sound, so:

FIRST = FEARst
PERFECT = PAIRfect
WORD = WARd
TURKEY = TOURkey

7) Simple "or" spelling of OR sound widens to an AR sound,
while other spellings (including silent "e") narrow and gain length:

Morning = MARnin, but mourning & more = MOWERnin & MOWER
border = BARder, but boarder = BOEwerder

8) Long "o" in HOPE is the Latin mono thong "o,"
but before an "L" it widens and gains length -- told = toweled

9) Dentalize your "th" sounds by sealing tongue against top teeth

10) aspirate t's & liquify "L's”
