About The Accent Bank
The world's largest actor-friendly accent library, built by performers, for performers.
Our Mission
The Accent Bank was created to solve a problem every actor faces: finding authentic, high-quality accent references for auditions and roles.
We believe that authentic representation matters. When actors have access to real voices from real places, they can deliver more authentic performances.
Our growing library features native speakers from across the globe, each contributing their unique voice to help performers worldwide.

Sarah Valentine
Founder & The Actors Accent Coach
Sarah Valentine has worked in the entertainment industry since 1989 — in front of the camera as an actor, and behind it as a casting director, agent and accent coach. That three-decade career taught her exactly what directors and casting teams listen for when an accent doesn't convince.
As a professional dialect coach known as The Actors Accent Coach, Sarah founded The Accent Bank with a simple belief central to her method: authentic representation matters. Every accent in the library is recorded by a real native speaker from a real place — no imitations, no stereotypes — so performers can deliver performances that casting teams genuinely believe.
30+ years in acting, casting and dialect coaching since 1989
Experience on both sides of the camera — actor, casting director and agent
Creator of The Valentine Method and author of The Actor's Guide
