These and more accents from Yiddish to French Canadian are clearly explained in Evangeline Machlin's classic work.\n\nNow available in a book-and-downloadable resources format, Evangeline Machlin's Dialects for the Stage is based on a method of dialect acquisition she developed during her years working with students at Boston University's Division of Theatre.
