it's a place called the man of no importance and I play Dublin uh bus conductor named Alfie and he's in Dublin in the 1960s and he kind of slowly comes out as a gay person as a gay man by the end of the play and you had to have an Irish accent oh yes I'm thinking that's going to be very tough how do you master it well I haven't I I you know I it's the best route to Masters well we have a vocal coach Claudia and she's been wonderful and I always feel really good
about it until she comes to watch the play again and then gives me pages of no oh I don't know this as well as I thought I did what is the hardest word to say that challenges you the most anything with them oh gosh it's too early I can't do it um they're all hard in their own way at this hour but um I don't know it varies it's like sometimes I can get into a rhythm where I'm talking in it around the house which Todd fine finds funny until he finds it irritating I find
that when I come home I have a lot of trouble shaking it but then some days it's really hard to get back into it if you spoke to an Irish person would that help oh that would be so embarrassing to Me Oh you mean listen to them no no no no Dublin give me a moment and say Kelly and Ryan um here we are on this morning show on ABC um is it always on ABC or is it indicated it's indicated so in New York it's an ABC show see it's not going well laughs and
I have to do it tonight and now I'm going to be in my head practice makes perfect no it doesn't it makes a disaster I always think that if you just add an oh yeah no but see John Doyle the director is very specific he did not want a Lucky Charms accent so I'm working very hard not to get my Lucky Charms going
