Texan Accent Vol. 2Volume 2 of the Texas accent is a collection of recordings from various parts of Texas, including that east Texas twang and the traditional west Texas drawl from classic cowboy films. This download contains samples of native speakers from all over Texas. |
Texan Accent Volume 2 Materials
- The Texan Volume 2 download includes recordings made by AccentHelp coach Jim Johnson of native speakers during his extensive travels while living in Texas - bringing the experience back to you in this download.
- This accent is actually taught in the materials for the Texan accent Vol. 1. Volume 2 is additional recordings of native speakers reading a standard passage and in casual conversation. Unlike most AccentHelp downloads, Texan Vol. 2 does not teach the accent.
- All of the conversations are transcribed so that you can follow along with the recordings. You'll get four versions of the written materials: a PDF file to print or read on a standard computer, a large-format PDF for portable reading devices, and MOBI for Kindle and EPUB for other portable readers.
- This accent is appropriate for productions of Laundry and Bourbon and Lone Star and other plays. You also hear it in films like the The Last Picture Show and from actor Sam Elliott.
- In addition to the Texan accent, AccentHelp also offers the "non-rhotic" American Southern: Soft-R accent and the "rhotic" Hard-R Southern accent. These various sets can be purchased together at a special discounted price, too!
