How to do a Italian accent
- Add a short 'a' or 'e' after final consonants: 'pizza-a', 'what-a', 'make-a'.
- Tap or roll the R clearly in every position.
- Swing the pitch widely, rising on the question and falling hard on the outrage.
- Keep vowels open and pure: 'ee' for 'i' in 'this' ('thees').
The most common mistake
Overdoing the added vowels on every word; use them on words that end in consonants.
