ANECDOTE

Started Coaching As A Teen

  • August Rain says she began coaching as a teen, originally claiming age 14 then correcting to 17.
  • She frames her early start as part of a theatrical childhood shared with Jamie.
INSIGHT

Accents Reflect Social Experience

  • There are no absolute 'wrong' accents; accent correctness is socially imposed and shaped by experience.
  • Real people often have blended, inconsistent accents formed by their social environment.
ADVICE

Lean, Linger And Punch Consonants

  • Do lean into and exaggerate consonants when doing a US accent; punch the consonants you want and discard the rest.
  • Be wrong and loud during practice so you can hear mistakes and adjust confidently.
