Hiya folks! In two weeks i have an audition for
"While the Lights Were Out" (a murder mystery farce)
and the role I want is a French guy so I need to get

the audition.
I've been watching a lot of Pepe Le Pew cartoons
hehe, and trying to imidate the funny skunk, does
anyone have any other advise? I'd appreacite it
greatly! :) -Eric

Well, don't model a French accent after Pepe Le Pew...it's REALLY too
exaggerated. I've gotten a pretty good French accent down from listening to
Celine Dion.

Watch some Pink Panther movies. Not only are they halarious, but it has a
great over exaggerated french accent.

Seeing as though this is a Farce, the character
should be a bit overexagerrated. -Eric
