[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]John Lithgow as Churchill in the Crown Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love Renee Zellwegger in Bridget Jones Diary[/quote] Gwyneth grew up in nyc Renee is an American who played a Brit, poorly[/quote] They are Americans, no? The question was about Americans pulling off accents.[/quote] Here's the deal. If you're American and need to play a Brit, this can be accomplished (with a certain degree of preparation), much like if you're from NYC but need to play a character from rural Alabama. However, if you're American and need to play a Swede -- in Swedish - no amount of dialect coaching will make you sound authentic unless your part is literally five words long. Anything longer than that, and you'd give yourself away. [/quote]
