What we do?

​

Before each event, you record and upload a sample (an audio or video recording) of you acting or narrating in a previously agreed-upon accent.

 

Leading up to that, we will share resources specific to that accent to help prepare for the self-tape/recording in the Talk Like That Facebook group.

​

We will gather online on Friday at 4 PM Eastern | 1 PM Pacific | 9 PM UK Time and listen to each contributor's uploaded sample and give our constructive feedback.

​

At the very end, I will give some notes based on the samples I heard. 

​

 

Who should attend?

​

Anyone who uses (or is thinking of making use of) accents in their day-to-day work.

The sessions are aimed at actors (stage/screen/voice) whatever their own accents (whether they speak English as a first language or an additional language).

This is NOT an appropriate forum for people looking to focus on a) improving their English, or b) getting feedback on how good their English is.
