I basically pronounce that sentence the same...save for "wanted", which I pronounce [wa:ntid], or [wa:nid] in normal speech. In fast conversational speech I'd pronounce this sentence:
[w^t mai fa:TH..r tOuld TH.. ko:r4 i: @d wa:nid w^z na:t t.. bi: ka:t with .. ko:r4 ^v wa:4..r in TH.. ka:4 ^v iz da:4..r a:l hid.n ..wei in TH.. ka:r4 ^v iz br^TH..r]
[4] is the alveolar tap.
And, by the way, where are you from?
