How to Practice Accents for an Acting Audition

On behalf of expertvillage.com I'm Lori Wyman with Lori Wyman Casting in North Miami Beach, Florida and today we're to talk about how to prepare for on camera auditions. When preparing for your audition, sometimes it's necessary to have an accent. Now this accent might be a southern accent, a New York accent, even a Russian accent. If you are good at accents, then by all means, work on one, attempt it and deliver your dialogue using that accent. If you are not good with accents, do not accept that audition, because you will only sabotage your performance. There by allowing the casting director to think that you are not a good actor. When in fact, it's not that you're not a good actor, it's just that you're not good with accents. So make sure that if the character you're auditioning for requires an accent, that you work on that accent before the audition. You have worked on it out loud, you have practiced it, you have listened to tapes, you have allowed other to listen to you and make sure that that accent is absolutely perfect before you go in for that audition.
