Southern American accent
Where can I look up transcriptions of common English words in this accent? I know the IPA but I only took British English classes in uni (I study Anglistics) and I‘d really like to learn how to do this accent. I know TV shows etc can help a lot but I find it really helpful to learn with transcriptions as well. Is there anything like that? (I know there are several different „Southern“ accents. I‘m not trying to perfect one, I just want to know the basics of how they work in general.)
