Boston Accent & Dialect Class 1
For May, think “Mayflower!”
The Boston and New England accent is the missing link between the American accent we know today, and our original British mother tongue!
This accent is also the basis for what is known as the “Transatlantic” accent which was well known in the golden era of Hollywood but is also needed for various vintage period historical pieces.
Join us for learning the accent fundamentals of this region with opportunities for scene work to try it out!
Have you turned down an audition or not submitted for a role because you didn’t feel confident with the accent it required?
Let’s fix that ASAP!
I want you to book work and be able to embrace each and every opportunity that comes your way.
