About You Talk Funny

A podcast for language-nerds, theatre-nerds, and plain old nerd-nerds. Dialect Coach Carrie Hardin helps actors with all kinds of things —whether it’s cramming to learn an accent before that audition, or just figuring out whatever the hell Shakespeare was talking about during this weird part of the play with a bear in it. The questions are always different, but there’s one answer that’s always the same —your voice is amazing.

   Inventing “Inventing Anna”

   In the new Shonda Rhimes/Netflix true crime melodrama: “Inventing Anna,” Julia Garner plays real life fraudster-cum-socialite Anna Sorokin, and attempts her hodgepodge of an accent. So, what IS this accent, exactly? Where did it come from, and did Garner manage to pull it off?
