If it's any kind of Native English accent-- American, i.e.: Boston. Deep South, Brooklyn; or English, i.e.: Liverpool, London, Essex; or Scots or Irish, directors tend to prefer to hire a native-born speaker. If there's any kind of budget, that's the preference.
For European or Asian or African accents, they prefer an English or American actor who can do that accent.
If you have a "Dutch accent" (and really who has an "accent" in their native tongue? ) , you might like to try acquiring an American or English accent to add to your available voices. Not to erase your own native "accent" / mode of speech, but to have more vocal assets.
It will make you a more valuable actor. |
Clarification: I don't speak English with a Dutch accent; Dutch is my second language, after Swedish. It's that when I speak Dutch, I have a noticeable foreign accent that is too thick for the bureaus. |

And above all, don't feel discouraged. This thread is a goldmine already. _________________ Greg Littlefield
