@alexjaynes Agree, however my contention is that actors from outside the region would better serve the principle of suspension-of-disbelief by leaving them all to the imagination.
If you’re acting in a production set in the deep south, and you are not originally from the deep south, for the love of god just skip the accent and play it flat instead. You can’t do it. No matter who you are, or how good you think it is, your southern accent is absurdly bad.

@adhdjesse I am terrible at remembering to bring things to work or back home. If something absolutely has to go with me I put it on top of my keys. That way I can’t leave without picking it up. Keys on top doesn’t work because I grab the keys unconsciously.
