Just a note for everyone, check the rules for your competition; in my state accents are not allowed

Should've guessed! They've got lots of rules that make me shake my head.@@melonyrobinson9944
The ABSOLUTE most abused and misused accent I hear in mock trial is a southern accent. It’s rarely accurate to any southern dialect, and it usually sounds like a Saturday Night Live sketch making fun of Gone with The Wind. I’d say a Brooklyn accent is the second one I see that rarely works.

PREACH! That's why you only need to use an accent if it's authentic. It's so obvious--and hard to listen to--when it's not.
