Do you take accents in movies for granted? Dialect coaching is a whole career, and I get to talk to William Conacher about his 28 years of experience, including coaching the idiolects of real people. Actors he has coached to recreate specific people's voices include: 4 separate Princess Dianas, Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody, and now Cillian Murphy for J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The real Oppenheimer had a privileged education in New York City and spoke with an accent known as Mid-Atlantic (somewhere between British and American accents). That accent has less R coloring (less pronunciation of Rs) more T pronunciation, particular words that marked the accent.
Besides that, specific words can mark an accent, or an idiolect. Oppeneimer always said 'nuclear' with a Y (like my grandmother)
You can hear how William's process has been formed over many years. And having known Cillian Murphy for over 20 years, it's even difficult for William to describe his process, because once you're close with someone, there are so many shortcuts to remind them, even when he wasn't allowed to be on set with Cillian.

She won an Oscar! Best Supporting Actress = Da'Vine Joy Randolph! She had to learn a Boston accent for the role. In this special podcast episode, I'm talking with Thom Jones, the dialect coach who worked with Da'Vine Joy Randolph for the movie The Holdovers. L's in unusual places, the American "brogue" and how to properly pronounce Da'Vine (I was doing it wrong!). It's a deeply interesting conversation. I'm sure you'll learn a lot from him.

I don't usually get the chance to talk with people about a slavic language like Czech. But there's a lot of Americans and Canadians who are learning Czech. So in the newest podcast eisode, I talk to Eliška, a certified language coach of Czech, to see how the grammar and the spelling and the syllable stress, the rhythm, and even the intonation are very different between English and Czech. This was insanely interesting!

I talk with one of my favorite people, Irina! She is a linguist with an M.A. degree from San Francisco State University and is currently a PhD student in Scotland.
Irina is interested in studying voice quality and intonation scientifically to understand the physical aspects involved in accents.
In this talk, we explore the connection between syllable stress, word stress, and intonation patterns in different languages, particularly between Russian and English.
It's important to understand these patterns in your mother tongue and to compare them to your target accent.
Irina runs a school for Russian-speaking individuals and offers courses on articulation and clear speech, aiming to improve communication and understanding in English.
The best place to find her is on her social media:

Daniel and I first met in Hadar's Teacher's group a few years ago, and now we both live in Mexico. He actually went through her Accent Makeover course and decided to continue on the path!
Daniel has been teaching English for 13 years and emphasizes the importance of rhythm in language learning.
He discovered the significance of rhythm through courses on pronunciation and fluency, realizing that grammar knowledge alone doesn't guarantee fluency or confident speaking.
Daniel recommends recording yourself to improve rhythm and pronunciation, comparing it to looking in the mirror before going out to a party.
Daniel highlights the importance of stressing certain words and using correct intonation to enhance clarity and understanding in communication.
