How to Do an Irish Accent?

Soften your consonants, especially t, d, and r

Make the r sound clear and slightly rolled or tapped

Keep vowels short and bright

Raise the tongue a bit for front vowels like in “bit” and “bed”

Let “th” often sound closer to t or d in casual speech

Drop the “g” in -ing endings for a lighter sound

Use a musical rhythm with varied pitch

Stress words naturally but with a lilting cadence

Keep the mouth relaxed and movements small

Listen to native speakers and imitate their timing and melody
