60. General American
Well howdy pardner! For this episode we’ve got the world’s leading expert on the General American accent to describe its features, talk us through common mistakes people make when learning it and help us figure out how to adjust for age, gender and ethnicity. We also hear from a bunch of fantastic, real-life American voiceovers about their experiences with using it, and even a little bit about the psychological impact of conforming to a geographically non-specific standard.
Find out more about Rebecca Gausnell here, including a page where you can buy her book, Mastering The American Accent: https://www.gausnell.com
Here’s the American dialect website Rebecca mentions: https://aschmann.net/AmEng/

Customer Reviews
BRILLIANT Podcast
Brilliant humour, banter, and straight forward information! I love hanging out with you both. Best VO PODCAST find so far. Thanks Katie Flamman for the recommendation! :)
A Booster Shot for my VO Career
I’m a voice actor, and every episode of this podcast is like a booster shot for my career! Even though I’ve been in this business for many years, Nic and Leah never fail to surprise and delight me with their wit and wisdom. This is actually one of the shows I listen to from beginning to end, and it always leaves me wanting for more.
Love these episodes!
Nic and Leah shed light on the seeming mysteries of being a jobbing VO to those who are new to it whilst providing entertainment and insight for those of us who are cleaning cobwebs off our mics. Keep it up ladies!
