Quick Question - accent?
Fri, 31 July 2009, 11:02 amHi all
Quick question
I am planning to audition for Arthur Miller's The Crucible and was wondering which accent would be best to use - I was thinking possibly Norfolk or Northumberland accent. For Hale, proctor and Paris.
I get that Paris would be more of an English accent but for the rural folk like Proctor do you think there is a certain dialect which is better to use than another.
Would this be appropriate?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
John
The Crucible is set in

Read it dude. It's about the Salem Witchcraft trials.
Nothing to do with Britain. I've seen it done Scottish. Bad. It's written in a certain rhythm and speech pattern that lends itself better to American. Depends what they want.
