How do people actually pronounce “Orange”?

There are questions on ELU about the phonemic transcriptions of orange in both British and American English in dictionaries.
However, this being a site for linguists and all that, I thought I would indulge myself in a question about how people pronounce orange, in terms of what sounds they actually make and the qualities of those sounds in 'minutiae'.
What are some narrow transcriptions of the word orange that we might expect in standard Englishes (with a segment by segment explanation)? If you have any interesting narrow transcriptions of non-standard English varieties, also with explanations of the finer features, those would be very welcome too.

Start about 0:17 -- the people are speaking with what seems to me to be a British accent.

This sounds like fairly normal American speech.

In spite of the puppet voices, this gives you several fairly "normal" pronunciations of "orange". Note the range of variation, though.

Did you pick the phrase segment by segment as a deliberate play on orange? ;)
