Description

Think mimicry is the key to sounding American? 

It’s actually what’s holding you back. 

Most actors try to master the American accent by copying it but that’s exactly what’s keeping them stuck. 

In this episode, I’m revealing why mimicry might be the very thing standing between you and true authenticity.

Listen as I talk about:

  • Why mimicry keeps your accent sounding forced and unnatural
  • The deeper reason actors rely on mimicry
  • What most actors are unknowingly doing wrong in their training
  • A simple shift that can help you finally sound authentically American
  • What you need to focus on next to finally sound like a true American speaker
