Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from March 15, 2024 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round.
A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
A buck or a yen

Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round

In Britain, the vocal filler we call “ummm,” is written as “errrr” instead. This fascinates me, as those look like completely different sounds, but I don’t think the sounds are actually different in the two dialects.

My understanding is that the sound you make when you are unsure of what word to use next is dependent on your resting mouth position, which varies with your native language.

BTW, Bronwyn, will you be performing at the end of the marathon Hoof & Mouth Sinfonia this Sunday? (Gary, I guess that question could also be addressed to you.) And if the answer is yes, would you like to reveal what song you'll be doing or do you want that to be a surprise?
Avatar 8:37pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ diciassette @8:21
Yes, but I don't think it varies much between dialects. I think that the sound is not easily spellable, and different dialects just developed different conventions of how to represent it. Just as how animal sounds are spelled strangely differently in different languages.
