“Something that has always attracted me to even taking on the occupation of actor is the idea that I could be lucky enough to portray different characterizations from different places in the world, whether it's speaking another language or taking on a dialect and building a history from where they were born. I was very attracted to that concept, in becoming an actor.” WorldIdeasDifferentEnoughActorsLanguageBornBuildingBecomingLuckyConceptsOccupationDifferent PlacePlaces In The WorldDialectCharacterization Author:Lake Bell
“You can't live in a dialect without tremendous work. Like any muscle, accents and voices and languages are all formed out of the muscles that we have in our mouths and faces and tongues.” FacesLanguageVoiceMouthsTongueMusclesAccentsDialect Author:Lake Bell
“I worked with an amazing dialect coach named Jill McCullough. We did Skype sessions while I was shooting "No Escape" in Thailand, actually. So three times a week I would have long, two-hour sessions with her just working on the nuance of the accent, which I had had a huge background in because I went to drama school in England for four years.” YearsLongTwoSchoolThreeHoursFourWeekHugeDramaEnglandCoachesBackgroundsShootingFour YearsAccentsThree TimesSessionNuanceDialectThailandSkypeDialect Coach Author:Lake Bell
