For drama I need to learn a Southern accent. Like I'm from Alabama or something? I am going for an audition and the piece I have to do is a Southern American waitress.

How am I going to do this?! Are there any easy ways to learn? I am worried!

you could come live with me?

the easiest way is to listen and repeat.

watch movies with those accents. as an actress you need to be creative on where you get your inspiration from. Watch a movies like Sweet Home Alabama, Fried Green Tomatoes, ect. Or think of what movies has the character you need to be in it.
