Your Path To Hollywood

Katherine Beck

You want to be a Working Actor but when it comes to building a sustainable career it takes more than just talent to get you there.

If you're an Actor born outside of the U.S. and you want to increase your auditions and opportunities then you will need to master the American accent in order to book U.S. roles.

The problem is most Actors struggle maintain the accent in performance or think about the accent during their audition.

There are tons of U.S. projects filming in Australia, NewZealand, Canada & The UK. Which means the path to Hollywood looks very different for today's Actor. The good news is you don't need to be in Hollywood to build a career working on U.S. projects.

Join your host, Katherine Beck (American Voice/Dialect Coach & Voiceover Actor) for a 'behind the scenes' look into all aspects of the U.S. Film/TV industry and what it really takes to master the American accent, nail the U.S. auditions & book those dream U.S. roles. What separates you from the thousands of other Actors is mindset, skillset and strategy and that's exactly what we will cover in this podcast.

Katherine has helped hundreds of Actors book U.S. auditions, callbacks and roles. Now it's your turn.  Get past your doubts, wondering 'will I ever master the American accent' to FINALLY feeling confident performing with an Authentic American accent.

Get tips on how to perform with an American accent, listen to interviews from working actors & industry professionals and get the inspiration you need to continue to follow your dreams so you can thrive as a Working Actor in this biz we call Showbiz.
