Help needed perfecting French accent

[urchin]

Hi,

I'm shortly about to act in a play at The Lowry Theatre in Salford, in which I play a French woman. So I'll be speaking English, but need to have an authentic sounding French accent. I'm working on this before rehearsals begin, but haven't got long before I go (just over a week), and wondered if there were any kind French ladies now living here who wouldn't mind sparing 20 minutes or so for me to record your voice on a dictaphone, asking you a few conversational questions so I can hear your accent, reading a set piece and a few words that will give me all the vowel sounds I need to be able to apply that accent to my script. I can offer wine or chocolate in return, and much gratitude! Thank you.
