@jasonkpargin asked who pronounces Mary, marry, and merry differently, and how they sound when you do! Writer/director Emily Carmichael (aka my wife) helps me explain all about the Mary/marry/merry merger—who has it, who doesn't, and how to make them sound different if you have the merger. Oh yeah, and what you should do if you're an actor aiming for a "General" American accent! #accents #dialects #phonetics #accenttips #americanaccenttips
