An American accent pronunciation tool built for actors.
For the non-U.S. actor who…
- Has a self-tape audition or a scene to prepare for acting class and needs to check their American pronunciation
- Booked a role and want to know if you're pronouncing your dialogue correctly
- Got a self-tape audition and needs to run lines or needs 'a reader'
- Is learning the American accent and needs help with their American pronunciation
You've got the audition.
Your accent isn't there yet...
Imagine you get an audition and you don't have time to work with a dialect coach. You need to check your American pronunciation fast.
Your script has a character name, location or word that isn't in the dictionary, and you need to know: "Am I pronouncing it correctly?"
You need your dialogue recorded so you can listen and repeat as you practice speaking your line in a standard American accent.
You need to run lines and practice, and need a resource to help be your reader when you don't have anyone available to help you.
What are you going to do when you get the audition, the self-tape is due and you're not sure if you're pronouncing all the words correctly?
Hiring a dialect coach for one session
Useful, but there's not always time or budget to book a session with a dialect coach before every audition.
A generic English pronunciation app
Built for ESL speakers, not actors. This is the first web app specifically designed for non-U.S. actors auditioning for roles requiring a Standard American accent.
Watching YouTube videos
It might help you with the accent, but it won't help you apply the accent to your actual lines.
Guessing and hoping the accent sounds accurate
All it takes is one mispronounced name or word to cost you the role.
