BACKGROUND INFORMATION

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Rick has experience in all aspects of film and television dialect coaching, including auditions, pre-production, on-set, and ADR. He is known for his ability to teach convincing American accents to non-Americans. In film, television and theatre, he has worked with thousands of actors individually on 200+ projects since his training in 1996. Not only does Rick have knowledge of all native and foreign accents of English, he has the skills to approach any spoken or linguistic requirement of a script. Rick has dual American and British citizenship and full work privileges in both.

 

ACCENT ARTICLE

I was recently asked to write an article comparing the trailers for GRACEPOINT the American remake of WHITECHAPLE, and the trailer for SELFIE. I was supposed to criticize the actors’ accents and describe their faults. I felt uncomfortable with the task, and I decided to write an article to support them rather than take them to pieces. Needless to say, it wasn’t barbed enough to be published, but I thought I would share my thoughts with you here!

In order to compare the two trailers for these series, I think you have to look at the context of where they are in the shoot. First of all, a project evolves over time. There is the version of the script that attracts investment to get commissioned. Then, pre-production, it is then reworked to sharpen it up and get it ready to shoot. It goes through the film shoot with yet more revisions, and then it is then completely reworked with more dialogue added in the editing process. The script that gets commissioned gets numerous rewrites, sometimes 10+ revisions per episode, sometimes on a daily basis once the project is shooting. Some scenes are prepped over time with coaches, some are reworked on the day. Series are shot in blocks, with the first episodes being shot and edited, sometimes with a hiatus, and then the second block is shot. There can be lots of prep for the first block and none for the second. Plots can change, and the whole outcomes of characters can entirely shift from the pre-production phase. The teasers we just saw could have been assembled at any point of the production, with varying levels of prep time with the dialect coach. Sometimes it takes a week or two on the set for the actor to feel comfortable with the accent. The trailer may be assembled with footage that ultimately does not make the final cut of the show. By the time the edit is locked, the episode will have had ADR (automated dialogue replacement), and the dialect coach may be involved in fixing certain lines for accent. The PR department my have chosen segments with sound that will ultimately be changed by the time it goes on the air. What you see and hear in the trailer is not necessarily what you’re going to get.

Then there is the subject of what footage is chosen. I have been present for whole shoots, every spoken take, keeping a log for editorial of where to source a clean version of the accent. This is helpful because the takes that are good for acting may not be the best for accent. The camera might not even have been on the actor when they finally got the accent right. The dialogue editor can skilfully insert the right vowels even when the actor got it ‘wrong’ in the take that was chosen. The production has to commit to that level of accuracy but it is not uncommon. When it comes to the trailer, there may not be time for such a luxury. Ultimately, what sells a show is a high quality connection between the actor and the material. If an actor has to power down the acting to achieve the accent, there is little of value left. Of course a bad accent jars the audience, but a good accent is only a small part what makes a performance whole. The best performances have accents that no one notices. I think we are focusing on the accents because we know how David Tennant and Karen Gillan sound. So people delight in waiting for them to ‘slip up’.

So my feeling is that there are some bumps in the GRACEPOINT trailer, only a couple, and none of them are deal breakers. I looked at all of the comments (500+) and there were some negative comments about the accents, but there were an equal number in support of the accents. Most people love David Tennant and are excited to see him in the show. There are a lot of people wishing he used his native accent. Is it a forensic match with that town in northern California? I would say no more or less than is the norm in Hollywood. In many shows, when a family sits around the table, the mother, father, and children each come from different places, and it is something we just accept. If we take the family in Blue Bloods as an example, the grandfather is from Winnipeg, Canada, the father is from Detroit, the brothers are from Boston and LA, and it is set in NYC. These men work very well as a unit—and we buy into the world of the show that they create. That kind of forensic detail isn’t required. What shows need are actors with the charisma, and in that regard, the trailer works for David.

I think the SELFIE trailer has a couple of bumps in the road too, but none of them are deal breakers. The comments from that trailer are centered on the content of the show and feelings about attaching Karen Gillan to this project. But I think you cannot fault what we are hearing. I hear in the feedback a loathing of people who talk like her character, but that is the whole point of the show—someone who speaks and acts a certain way learning to speak and act in a new way, to good effect. In essence, the people who criticize her are not the kind of people who are interested in the journey of the show and won’t watch it anyway.

As a final thought, why would American shows want to cast non-American actors in leads and featured roles? As someone who spends his entire professional life working with British and international actors working in American roles, I think the reasons are obvious. They bring a completely different energy to a piece. If you need a character to be an outsider, one who feels ‘other’, sourcing your actor from Britain or abroad is a really good idea. Choosing an actor from Britain, the acting tradition, training and craft are world class if not set the global standard. London is the blockbuster capitol of the industry at the moment—the acting talent can and does support it.

These two actors are assets to these new series, and bring integrity and grounding to the proceedings. Could other actors play these roles: yes. But the creative teams on these shows chose these specific actors for the energy, quality, experience and fan base that they bring to the project. I think they do it very well indeed.
