carlfoxmartenThe theatre company I’m with for this year’s panto is also doing a play by Agatha Christie, The Mousetrap, in mid-March of 2015.
Auditions are in about a week, and I have a slot lined up for me.
Only thing is, to actually get a role, I need a so-called “RP” English Accent.
Translated, it's a “Received Pronunciation” accent, or an accent used to portray middle-class British people almost since the BBC’s creation.
The other thing is, I’ve never done accent work before in my life.
Which means I need to get cracking.
Right now, I'm going through Google's search results for “Received Pronunciation training”, and am currently going through ThePhoneVoice’s tutorials on RP British Accent Training.
I’ll be going through several other tutorials as I progress, but I’ll still be sticking to free ones, as I’m kinda broke right now.
While it is a paying role, I don’t know how much it’ll be paying, so I’m not exactly aiming very high just yet.
I have, after all, never done a full role before, so even auditioning for something other than chorus for a panto is going to be pure experience.
If I don’t get the role, I don’t think I’ll be too cut up about it.
I’ll still be able to watch it, after all...
