Accent and Identity

Dani and Lucas talk about how accents are intertwined with people’s identities and why this is an important aspect for actors to take to heart when approaching a new accent. Much of this episode’s content is based on the first P, "people", of the “4 Ps of Accent Work” framework by Knight-Thompson Speechwork (see https://ktspeechwork.org/about-the-work/ )
