Accents are always difficult in their way, but as long as you're not throwing an audience off with it, then that's all it should be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing with being able to do accents is that it's still completely separate from being an actor.
I think when you have to train an accent, it just takes you absolutely into another spectrum of the character.
I love accents. It's a great way to separate yourself when playing a role.
To be honest, accents are one of those things for me, personally, that usually come quite naturally by just listening to the people.
I think most British people who say they can do an American accent are so bad at it. I find it excruciating. I find it excruciating the other way around, too.
In the end, to do a good accent, you just have to be a good listener.
Accents can be a great tool to tell a story - but if you do it wrong, it pulls you right out of the movie.
The odd thing is if you asked me to do the accent now I would find it very difficult unless I was also playing that part, because I associate it so much with entering into the role and stepping into someone else's shoes.
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
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.
