I followed the link above and watched the TV interview with Colleen Zinc Pinter. I was pleased to see the clip from when she is back at work acting on As the World Turns - in the scene she is giving out to somebody and speaking quite fast with only a very slight slur. I am really proud of her - giving it socks and to hell with the impediment.
I have the same sort of slur sound when I try to speak fast (just imagine Colleen with a bit of an Irish accent). I hope I can regain my clarity of speech to the extent that Colleen has. I am inspired to try harder with the aul tongue exercises! And get a part on a soap opera! Wellllll maybe that would be stretching it.........
