From The OC Register: “The world has really become a casting pool for TV and films,” Los Angeles dialect coach Joel Goldes says. “Because English and Australian people share our language, they’re at a great advantage, more so than a German or French actor. They’ve already got a leg up.”
The three English actors I coached on-set for Art School Confidential were lauded for their American accents in a review of the film by James Berardinelli in Reelviews: Is it a commentary on the current state of American acting (where classical training is almost a thing of the past) that three of the most prominent roles in Art School Confidential are filled by British-born thespians (using impeccable American accents)? Sophia Myles is as attractive as she is talented. Max Minghella (son of director Anthony) shows ability beyond his short resume. And Jim Broadbent is, as always, superb (and, in this case, disturbing).
