UK Regional Accents in Action...
Are you confused when a breakdown asks for a 'mild Northern' or a 'light London' accent?
Faced with audition notes that instruct you to do Lancashire rather than Manchester, Estuary rather than Essex and East End rather than modern Urban Street or Chelsea RP...
How can you nail a light Midlands accent or stop your Welsh sounding like Newcastle...
This workshop will unravel some of these and other mysteries to give you pointers on how to keep those auditioners happy with a range of UK regional and national accents.
