General American Workshop: What to expect!

Alot of actors tend to get real nervous about doing standard American for castings/pilot season , especially when its for Americans producers and directors. Having worked on many American productions and films I know exactly what it is that American casting/directors want and more importantly what they expect from british actors working in the accent. I can give you lots of top tips and help you identify and problem solve the 'givewaway sounds' that Americans are understandably sensitive about! We'll also look at how the culture differences between Brits and Americans inform the accent and the delivery! I'll help you with fluency and precision that'll make you feel real comfortable when you're acting and speaking in this accent (always good to be able to do that too, huh!)

Day workshop costs £70:00(p.p) with small groups of 6/8 and are run from my home in East London.

How To Do Accents. The 2nd Edition

Hi Everyone

Edda and I are very excited as the book has finally arrived off the slow boat from China ( yes for real, it's where it was produced!) and is now winging its way to all good book stores!
We hope it'll do equally well... we are also looking forward to book number two coming out next year (2011) 'How To Do Stage Standard English & Period RP'
