I think when you have to train an accent, it just takes you absolutely into another spectrum of the character.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I actually love working with accents. I don't know, something about it unlocks something in me. It makes me concentrate on getting into character a little more, helps me find a focus.
Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.
I love accents. It's a great way to separate yourself when playing a role.
I have a strong accent; it limits the roles, of course it does. I guess if I had moved to America a long time ago maybe my accent would have got less.
Accents are very easy for me. With me, it's clothing and makeup and hair and all that stuff that inform how the character moves and feels.
If I can iron out my accent, it opens up another world of possible jobs. Whereas if you have that very strong European accent, it leaves you always being cast as the Hungarian maid or the stripper or whatever. I have voice lessons, and my coach has given me different tongue-twisters to rehearse at home.
In the end, to do a good accent, you just have to be a good listener.
You can learn any accent you want. It's a fascinating thing.
When you speak in another accent, it affects you. You can't help but be changed by it.
The thing with being able to do accents is that it's still completely separate from being an actor.
