Accompanying text missing?

The narrator mentions an accompanying text, but where is it?

For $2, totally worth it.

The narrator is super quick and leaves no time for you to practice replying. Also, having the accompanying text would help. That being said, the narrator has a great accent, his examples are very entertaining, and I plan on practicing with this frequently

Not very good

Really fast pace which makes it hard to actually learn anything useful. Also extremely short.

A good resource for those that know how to use it.

Paul Meier's full books are more comprehensive but if you know how to use a resource like this, it's very good for a short review.

Fun!

I don't have a character to accent, but I enjoyed listening to this. As the child of an Irish-woman from Dublin, I've never been able to tell the difference in the accents of the north and south of Ireland. this was helpful and fun to listen to.

Good stuff

What made the experience of listening to Accent Your Character - Irish the most enjoyable?

It is so easy to listen to and start to mimic

What was most disappointing about Paul Meier’s story?

Went too fast.

Any additional comments?

Excellent resource for those of us who wish to fake an Irish accent however, it is just a start. Go to Ireland if you are serious about acquiring this skill. Lookit, such a lovely whimsical way of speaking to be sure.

Listen carefully...

...and you'll hear Paul Meier giving you everything you need to begin developing your own authentic Irish-flavored voice. While there is a good deal of how-to here, Meier's magic is in the telling of the tale. Analysis is an excellent approach to this material, but please don't overlook the possibilities of simply listening--truly listening--to the master's voice. There is far more awaiting you than you might expect.
