Why Accents are Important for Actors!

​When furthering your career as an actor, one of the most important things you can do to improve your CV is develop a skill for accents. In recent years, Batman, Superman and Spiderman have all been portrayed by British actors with an eclectic skill for the American accent and with more and more international productions moving to the UK for filming, your range could land you a brilliant role.

​If jumping across the pond seems like a bit of stretch right away though, you don’t need to start with American accents! Begin with the UK regions around you, try a new town or county.
Every one learns in a different ways, but the biggest thing you can do to keep pushing your range in accents is listening! Listen to how vowels are pronounced. How are the words formed? How have they been used in movies that you have seen? And practice, practice, practice!

​If you fumble for the first little bit, that's fine! Even the most famous of screen actors let their native accent slip. The most recent example is Margot Robbie in ‘Mary Queen of Scots’, where her Australian accent was found to have slipped through by one of L.A.’s biggest voice coaches, but if you don't try you will never learn!
