Recording Time: 00:06:53
The subject is a white, female student who is in her fourth year of college. She studies acting. She was born and raised in Montevideo, Minnesota. She moved to California and has lived in the Orange County for 3 years. She has been trying to eliminate her accent due to her career in theatre, so in the recording, there are some obvious California sounds mixed with her Minnesota accent.
In the unscripted part, she describes her choosing of her college and her move to California, as well as her change of majors and views on theatre. She then changes topic and beings speaking about the cold weather in Minnesota and her upcoming Christmas she will spend there. She ends the recording with her thoughts and views on Minnesota salting the road versus putting dirt on the road to melt the snow.
