Default Re: Learning "plummy" accent ???

PS, I read an article about the actor Richard Burton and he changed his accent, presumably from Welsh, to the rich plumy one by putting a tiny pebble in his mouth and practsing until he copuld speak clearly with it, then increasing the size, etc. I don't know how effective a method this is, but it's an interesting idea and I can see howit would assist plumminess.
