Dialect must be an organic experience for both the actor and the listener. This is the way the playwright heard the play in his or her head and we need to be truly representing those characters. Nancy deals with not only the issues of vocal changes and focus in dialect but the socio/ economic background of characters or the why they use language the way they do. There is a transformation into character through their use of sound and sense. Historically how do speakers tell their story by country of origin and how do those combinations of sound inform the American character. In other words, where did we come from? How did we assimilate through manipulation of the sounds of our accents and dialects? Research and contact with primary sources are the corner stone of learning a viable dialect.
