Give your Standard American accent (the one one that is most 'invisibly' American!) a thorough workout in this intensive 3-hour accent bootcamp.
In this workshop you'll get to understand what American casting people expect to hear and get to practice the key sound changes that will make you talk like a native in an audition. Elspeth will warm you up with the top 5 Standard American deal breakers before working through the rest of the sounds and tips that you will need to sound more like an actual non-regional American.
You will be given a hand-out pack containing all the areas you'll cover PLUS further practice material to help you keep flexing your Standard American muscles after the workshop.
