Where would I look to find a coach to teach me to speak in a different accent for a small film I am doing ? I took speech lessons as a child through school but that was a little different. I have no idea where to begin looking. Thanks!

i too have wondered about this--although i'd prolly be too cheap to actually do it

I have a CD...but I would really like to be able to pull of a believable accent....I know someone who does acting must know!

sounds like you need a life coach instead

what kind of accent are you trying to emulate?

the specialty is called a "dialect coach," that might help you find one online

I need impersonate German

I had a speech impediment when I was little...had to take lessons for that. I pronounced R as W.

I used to think I did a perfect English accent ( I modeled after Tyrone from Snatch)

but my friend from England officially called me out on a bunch of little things I was doing wrong as far as pitch and enunciation for certain words

So its good to the point now where I can fool any American, but most English people could still tell I wasn't really English

Fun as HELL on Xbox live tho

^I was at a party one time and this girl claimed to be from Liverpool. Everyone was like "OMG she's from the same country, you guys should talk!" Upon meeting her, it was obvious from the first word out of her mouth she was faking. When I called her out, she claimed to be trying to get into an acting role. I was playing it cool though cause she was cute, but my friend was a total ass to her for it and she left, hahaha, oh well.
