Think A-list actors never slip up in their American accent? Think again.
In this episode, I break down Nicole Kidman’s accent in Big Little Lies and reveal what I hear when I assess an accent in performance.
Listen as I talk about:
- What Nicole Kidman gets right in her American accent
- Where the accent drops out and why
- The subtle shifts I listen for when analysing accent performance
- Why perfection isn’t the goal
