Accents and Dialects: Accuracy VS Authenticity

media@voices.com (http://www.voices.com) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:48:16 +0000

Join Voice Over Expert Pat Fraley in his podcast, "Accuracy VS Authenticity." There is a marked and important difference between an accent that is accurate and one that is authentic. Being accurate means that something is free from error, especially due to care, and conforming exactly to truth or to a standard. Accuracy, with dialect, will never get to you where you need to go... you must achieve authenticity! Authenticity has to do with being worthy of acceptance or belief as it is based upon fact. A truly authentic dialect has more to it than learning and delivering the words. We must never forget that our objective is to present a dialect for an effect during a performance. Learn how you can quickly go from generic to standard to authentic.
