“I find standard American the hardest. It really fits in a different place in your mouth. Southern, I find the easiest. If you talk to a dialect coach and you get sort of technical, where an English person keeps their voice in their throat, a Southern person does the same, and it's got the same sort of music to talking.” IfsPersonsDoeDifferentVoiceTalkingFitStandardsMouthsCoachesHardestThroatSouthernDifferent PlaceDialectDialect Coach Author:Juno Temple
“Any one may mouth out a passage with a theatrical cadence, or get upon stilts to tell his thoughts; but to write or speak with propriety and simplicity is a more difficult task. Thus it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as big as the thing you want to express; it is not so easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it.” WantWritingMayUseBigsSpeakEasyDifficultStyleFitMouthsTasksSimplicityPassagesTheatricalProprietyPompousCadenceDifficult TasksStilts Book:Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated)
“I've gone into auditions and I think they have an assumption about me when they see my photo and then I open my mouth and they say, 'Where exactly are you from? And you were born in Ethiopia? But you're Irish, but you also kind of sound English. That's really strange.' They want to put you in a box in LA, that's how they tend to do it there, so if you don't fit in that box, it makes it more difficult.” IfsThinkingWantKindDifficultSoundBornGoneStrangeFitMouthsBoxesAssumptionAuditionsEthiopia Author:Ruth Negga

“Some have said that it is not the business of private men to meddle with government--a bold and dishonest saying, which is fit to come from no mouth but that of a tyrant or a slave. To say that private men have nothing to do with government is to say that private men have nothing to do with their own happiness or misery; that people ought not to concern themselves whether they be naked or clothed, fed or starved, deceived or instructed, protected or destroyed.” PeopleMenSaidGovernmentPoliticsOughtFitMouthsConcernMiserySlaveNakedDestroyedFedsTyrantsProtectedDeceived Author:Cato the Younger
“All actors have to make the words fit in their mouths, and make the words the words fit to how you say it and how you make it life-like and make it look like what you're saying is just conversation that you're just thinking off the top of your head. That process is not quite improvisation.” ThinkingLooksActorsProcessFitConversationMouthsImprovisation Author:Bruce Willis
“There were a lot of lessons of production to be learned. On the page, the biggest thing you learn on any TV show is how to write to your cast. You write the show at the beginning with certain voices in your head and you have a way that you think the characters will be, and then you have an actor go out there, and you start watching dailies and episodes. Then, you start realizing what they can do and what they can't do, what they're good at and what they're not so good at, how they say things and what fits in their mouth, and you start tailoring the voice of the show to your cast.” ThinkingWayWritingCharacterShowsCertainActorsVoiceCan DoRealizingTvsFitLessonsPagesMouthsCastsProductionsEpisodesTv Shows Author:Ronald D.
