Transform your relationship with acting in an accent

I’ve been prepping panicked actors for last-minute accented roles & castings for the best part of two decades. And, whilst there’s little I love more than providing the salve to your accent stresses, I wasn’t far into my career before I found myself asking…

Wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t have to get stressed at all?!
Wouldn’t it be better if you were equipped with a trusted approach to acting in an accent before the requests even hit your inbox?
What if those last minute accent requests filled you with excitement rather than dread?

Seeking the answers to those questions is how my signature, three phase approach came to be...

EMPOWER > EMBODY > CONNECT distills years of experience and a borderline obsession with acting & accents into a trusted, reliable approach that you can use time and time again; character after character; accent after accent.

So, how does it work?

When it comes to accents, the best thing any actor can do is EMPOWER themselves with the mindset, knowledge, tools and strategies for approaching, understanding and unpicking them. The EMPOWER phase sets you up with those foundational necessities.

Next, we EMBODY. This phase is about working to find the most effective ways to get the sounds, shapes and patterns of a new accent into your muscle memory - so they feel familiar and comfortable enough to use to express yourself. EMBODY is the antidote to being in your head!

The final phase exists because being able to do an accent is one thing and acting in one is something different entirely. CONNECT is about working together to find the best way to integrate all this accent stuff with your acting stuff. It's about ensuring you have the process and tools needed to stay CONNECTED whilst sounding consistent - even in those emotional moments.
