Accent work can feel fun. I promise. It can feel like a creative act. Like a juicy, integral part of your approach to acting. 

You might have read my last few blogs and found yourself thinking, This is all lovely, Maeve, but how on earth do I apply it to accent work? 

People pleasing is a little like those cleans you do when you’ve someone important coming to visit. You know the kind.  You find yourself frantically shoving things in cupboards…

Actors. Accent work is character work. Of course it is.

I live in Scotland now. I moved from London to Edinburgh in March 2021.  And I haven’t looked back.

Why not take some time off ‘work’ to do just that? You see, I don’t see voice work as ‘work’ at all...

Just because it seems effortless doesn’t mean that a hell of a lot of work hasn’t gone on behind the scenes.

Your life as an artist has already begun.

It’s happening right now.
