I’m currently working on a little show called Don’t Drink the Water. I have been cast as the chef and my director wants me to do a french accent. However, I’m lost. British or English I can do. But I’ve never tried French. I was wondering if someone could try and spell out my lines phonetically (sp?). I don’t know if i’m making any sense but please if i am please please help me!
– Mr. Magee, something is happening! There are soldiers surrounding the house! They are peering into the kitchen!
– I can’t cook if I’m being stared at. I’m that kind of person.
– I am personal chef to Ambassador Magee. Formerly chef to the king of norway, formerly chef at the white house, formerly chef to the queen of england. before that, i did very little cooking.
– i had a cake in the oven. your gunshots made it fall!
– forgive my intrusion mr. magee, but i must know what is the decision for dinner
– it’s him
– mr. hollander
– every dish i name he says no!
– oysters!
– mr. magee we are four thousand miles away from the united states, this is a communist country, it is eight o clock at night. where do you expect me to get sarah lee coffee cake?
– it’s too late to get anything new now. take a very nice piece of veal. what’s wrong with veal? my recipe is one of the great secrets in european cooking
– mr. magee i have very little…if i had known…i couldn’t get to the market…there are soldier outside
– madam, how do you live with this man? do you force-feed him?
– i warn you madam, no one has ever been in my kitchen before! If you do anything to spoil the order of my spice racks i don’t know what I’ll do. do you hear me? i don’t know what i’ll do!
– how do you like it? rare, medium, well done?
– yes it’s a pity you’re leaving. i may as well tell you mr. hollander, the veal you had last night was really eel and you cleaned your plate!
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! =( please.

And don’t forget, the “r”s are pronounced in the front of the mouth. More in the mouth. Almost like a purr. It’s kind of hard to explain.
Good luck in the play!
