British Accent
Course
Master Standard British, British RP and regional British accents with Sarah Valentine, The Actors Accent Coach. Self-paced from £40, or one-to-one from £79.
Which British Accent Do You Need?
Start with Standard British or RP for most UK roles, then add a regional accent when the script calls for one. Every DIY course is £40.
Standard British
The contemporary Estuary-influenced British English most UK casting directors expect — London-area speech that sounds modern, not old-fashioned. The right foundation before adding regional colour.
