Accent and Dialect Reduction

Description

This is a V E R Y important step in being successful… especially because most people don’t hear their accents!

So we (1) make you aware of any dialect/accent. And (2) help you avoid it. 

Session Length: One hour

After you sign up, we’ll call/email you to schedule.

Work remotely with an Edge Studio vocal coach to either develop a more neutral dialect or train towards a more authentic accent.

Have you ever thought that you might need help with Accent and Dialect Reduction?  Were you born in Brooklyn? Or the Deep South? Or perhaps even Mexico or Germany? If you have an obvious accent or American regionalism, it may be holding you back from booking some of the jobs you would like. Especially if you are trying to break into the national or even global voice over market. Most casting professionals want to ensure that their audience will connect and identify with the voice talent they are hearing, and prefer someone who might sound just like your neighbor, regardless of where the spot will air. A Boston accent might be just fine for a local Massachusetts piece but inappropriate for a high-paying national gig. Our resident accent specialists are here to help you deliver in the coveted Standard American, neutral accent. 

In this hour-long, one-on-one Accent and Dialect Reduction session, we will help you develop a routine to reduce your accent or regionalism. Your session will touch on topics like breathing, diction, articulation, and the clarity of your words. Each session is catered to the needs of the individual student.
