ACCENTS ON ACTORS - Accents for the 21st Century Actor - 5 Week Online Class with Professional Actor Paul Liberti

Friday, March 19, 2021, 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT

6:30pm - 10pm. Whether you're an actor in film, TV or theater or you're a voice-over actor who does Audio Books, Interactive Games or Commercials, being able to do a credible accent is imperative to your career.

Are your accents married to specific characters, or are they accents that you can put on ANY character that you play - even as yourself?!

What do you do when you are required to do a non descript "European accent"?

What is the difference between an accent and a dialect?

What do you do if your audition requires several accents?

Many actors barely grasp the fundamental features of a particular accent and yet sincerely believe they know it inside and out - HELP IS HERE!

Actor Paul Liberti has been teaching his unique style of acting for the Voice Actor in NYC and nationally for years! In five weeks, you'll work on:

- Accent Study with Exercises and samples and demonstrations and instruction.

- How to create a dialect in a short amount of time with authenticity.

- New accents weekly - British, Russian, Southern U.S., Irish, German, and New York.

- How Lilts can effect an accent and specifics to notice

- Learning and hearing accents with audio samples from movies, and Internet and youtube sources.
