Whether working in a university theater program or coaching on set in English, as teachers and coaches, we’re always looking for ways to effectively support students and clients for whom English is a second (or third, fourth, etc.) language: to help them embody the role, book the job, or give them the tools and confidence to serve them in their creative careers long-term. Join us on Zoom for a conversation with KTS Certified Teachers and Hollywood accent coaches, Ron Carlos and Eliza Simpson, where we’ll explore accent work for actors who are L2 English speakers. On Sunday, May 19th at 11am PST/2pm EST/7pm GMT To convert this meeting to your time zone, click here. Registration will close 12 hours prior to the event and participants will then receive Zoom link information. All registrants will also receive the recording and post-webinar survey after the meeting has ended and been processed. May 19 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm $10.00
