how do you pronounce a rolling “o” as in “so” or “no”?
I noticed that in New Zealand most people pronounce "o" at the end of "no" or "so" in a rather rolled manner - something closer to [our] instead of simple [ou]. For example, lady in this video does this at 0:07 . How do you make this sound?
For natives this might be a natural manner of pronoucing it, but I'm Russian and never heard it before :p

Sounds like a "non-rhotic" accent, where the "r" sound is dropped in some places and added in others. It's not "normal" English, in most of the US.
