Accent In A Re-Enactment

[dunbar91]

Hi

for my drama project i was thinking of filming some parts of DMS. but i want your opinions. do you think it would be more effective if i use the regional Derbyshire accent used in the film or my natural scouse accent?

thanks guys

Natural.

Yeah, use your natural accent beyond any doubt.

Go natural. The film was made with a mish-mash of accents anyway (all natural). There's everything from Staffordshire/Notts/Derbys to Manchester in there anyway. I'd guess it would sound forced if you try to mimic one (especially if you get them wrong). Go scouse mate. Imagine it as though Steven Graham was cast in it or something.

I concur. Use your own voice. Make it your interpretation. Own the character. Live it. LIVE IT! ETC!

Be interesting to see what you come up with, especially in your native accent.

Get it posted when its done..
