I'm delighted that our (@HelenAccents and my) paper – “Get on the Train, Baby!” Joining Kashmir and Kanyakumari through Hinglish and English Accents and Language in Chennai Express (2013)– is now published alongside those of many distinguished colleagues and friends.
“Your accent is your identity, but also how you want to portray yourself. It’s not just geography — it’s upbringing and class…” In the new interview for NETWORK, @_billiecollins talks to voice and dialect coach Helen Ashton. Read more on our website!✨ network.bfi.org.uk/news-and-featu…

WOW - @HelenAccents - what an incredible about of invaluable wisdom you imparted in just 45 minutes on @ActorsProExpoUK - can't wait to keep practising my General American 🗣️
I'm going to be running an online interactive workshop about American Accents for actors next month. Co-teaching with the amazing Sarah Shepherd. Places limited :) tinyurl.com/1etrcwas
Looking forward to talking @actorsproexpouk Next Friday at 1.30, about American accents, and the key things that can give British actors away when they try to do them.

@HelenAccents Hi Helen! I was wondering if I'd be able to DM you? I'd love to chat to you about your work for an interview on the @bfinetwork website. Let me know if you'd be interested and I can give you more info 😊
‘Sorry, I’m not being clear…’ is the greatest insult a British person can give you
@Lord_Sugar He’s an actor, you plum. Portraying a character from Liverpool, and doing it magnificently. I’m sorry if this concept is difficult for you
@Lord_Sugar Why don’t you the subtitles on if you’re finding it tricky to follow? Shame, because you’re both missing a treat. P.S. Freeman’s Scouse accent is fantastic.
@Lord_Sugar Erm..It's set in Liverpool, I'm from Liverpool, Martin Freeman's scouse accent is spot on, maybe tune your hearing aid to scouse
@Lord_Sugar I think his accent is excellent and I can understand it no problem and that’s coming from a Manc
@Lord_Sugar I disagree, I find it easy to understand what the characters are saying & Martin Freeman’s scouse accent is spot on.
@Lord_Sugar I thought he was fantastic. And understood everything
@Liz19742 @Lord_Sugar One the finest scouse accents from a non-scouse I've ever heard, what are you talking about?
@Liz19742 @Lord_Sugar I haven't seen it but the general consensus was he got the accent right
She taught me so much & I remember my time with her on that set so clearly and with immense fondness. In so many ways she is the reason I am coaching and I am so eternally lucky to have learnt from her and to have witnessed her work, humour and passion.Joan, you will be missed x
#JoanWashington was a phenomenal woman and coach. The warmth, kindness, playfulness & generosity with which she worked was awe inspiring and I feel very lucky to have worked alongside her on my first coaching job…
Just read of the death of #JoanWashington: incomparable dialect coach, extraordinary insight into human beings & always ineffably stylish. Huge condolences to @RichardEGrant, family & friends. What a woman. What a loss.
The incomparable #JoanWashington has died. Joan taught me dialects and accents when I trained at @Rada and beyond. I have made my career using accents and dialects. I owe her everything. Such a terrible loss to @RichardEGrant and us all. Rest in Peace.
@HelenAccents @accentdialectuk @MarkHarrisNYC I do agree! (Nice to meet you in here!)
Working on your accents? Check out this great video from @HelenAccents discussing the politics of pronunciation youtube.com/watch?v=BLfrba…
