Don’t forget the Rest of your Craft!

Most Actors Forget What the Rest of Their Craft Is About

When attempting the sounds of a dialect role, many actors make the mistake of focusing solely on "putting on" the accent. Their purpose becomes replicating the sounds — whether it’s a Southern drawl or a crisp British RP — but they overlook the deeper layers of their craft. The result? Performances that may sound accurate but fail to connect emotionally or authentically with the character.
