E Marcelle Casting took to Facebook to share some free acting advice to aspiring actors. E Marcelle Casting explains that “if you want to be a serious actor and versatile and that’s your goal, and you have a Southern accent, try and find a way to take some classes to see if you can learn to talk without it.”

This is just a suggestion but if you want to be a serious actor and versatile and that’s your goal, and you have a Southern accent, try and find a way to take some classes to see if you can learn to talk without it – because if not, you’re limiting yourself to certain projects where a southern accent would not work for the role you’re auditioning for.

Even if it’s just a slight affectation – learn the words that you say that tend to come out more regional and learn how to fix it. – E Marcelle Casting, inc.
