He nailed a Gretna or Algiers accent
Uptown and high Metairie is more southern
Harry Connick jr has an uptown New Orleans accent when he’s not getting down talking brother speak
I wonder how Amy Barrett speaks .....
I’ve got kinfolks two blocks from Commanders Palace
They speak like I do except that New Orleans Bronx sounding brogue sneaks in some
And to go from that to playing Freddie Mercury, now that’s range!
Weird thing is I grew up on Long Island and now live in New Jersey. You can count the people who live in NJ who say “Joisey” on one hand. The accent seems to only exist in some television writers mind. “Lawn Guyland” on the other hand is the accent that doesn’t die.
