speaking of accents, what about the mackel brothers at wdsu? they were nola born and raised, and i cannot for the life of me place that accent they both have. giants. not ji-unts, but jints. does anyone know?
Well I was a communication major in college and I had a heavy New Orleans accent. In one of my classes the professor explained that the "norm" in broadcasting is to have a midwestern accent or no accent at all. She told me I had to lose the accent if I had a chance at getting on the air anywhere other than LA or South MS. I showed her, I'm not even in broadcasting, I design houses...lol
I did lose the accent, but after being home for ten minutes around my parents it comes right back, my wife gets a real kick out of it.
