  • Alright, I'm from New York, and I must admit this woman is overexagerating the "o" sound. However, she's not that far off though. There is a difference in the "o" sound we make, but not quite noticeable.

  • Janice from Friends?

  • i say orange like arange. but not aaaaarange she sounds mad dumb

  • does she think only italians live in newyork

  • ...I'm not sure how to react to this.

  • lol No one north of 68th street and younger than 40 talks like this anymore, certainly no one I've ever spoken to.

  • Okay ha people chill. She's an accent coach for musical theater, in which everything's exaggerated.

  • @girl123interrupted lol make that 50

  • @omfgCantGetaUsername I expected more entertainment from you. Hopefully your next statement will be more enjoyable. :)
