Accent On Actors is a focused, 4-week accent course created to give actors the tools to perform a wide range of accents confidently and authentically for Audio Book Narrators, Animation and Video Game Actors, and On-Camera, Film, TV, and Stage actors as well.
Over four weeks, students will review the important British accents each week and then move on to other world accents, and finish with practice work in each accent.
Idiolects (accents based on one person) are also explored as a part of every session to keep your accents more character-specific for auditions and bookings.
This course is interactive with a focus on acting performance and accent application.
Students will also receive an Accent Workbook with Exercises and Instructions from class to better prepare them for auditions and bookings.
You'll learn to create dialects quickly with authenticity, layering accents, adding lilts, and a focus on accent rhythm changes.
Don't miss this exciting 4-week class!
The accents covered may include:
- Week 1 - English/Cockney/Non-descript European
- Week 2 - German/ Russian/Ukrainian
- Week 3 - Irish/Italian/French
- Week 4 - New York/ American South
