Dialect Coaching
See a list of the currently offered dialects/accents below. Keep in mind that depending on the character, the dialect/accent will need to be more specific and will vary in strength. Additionally, don't forget that every character also has an idiolect which refers to their specifically unique way of speaking, independent of their dialect/accent. Don't see your dialect listed? No problem, you can request for me to study the accent in detail so I can then teach you how to take it on.
Received Pronunciation
Also often referred to as "Standard British" and is indeed the standard for "well educated" British characters, especially in period films such as Pride and Prejudice, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Crown, etc.
Modern Standard British (London)
You may already know that modern English speakers don't tend to talk as correct and proper as Received Pronunciation speakers but they also don't speak like Cockney speakers. This is a modern in-between version.
Irish (General)
A dialect that isn't just tricky because of the sounds that change but because of the rhythm and tone of it. Depending on the speaker, this dialect can be incredibly fast and at the same time, usually quite witty. Bruges is a good movie to watch.
Australian (General)
While we may not necessarily be familiar with as many internationally acclaimed Australian films, there are plenty of Australians who made it big in Hollywood which can make for good case studies, like Ben Mendelsohn and Hugh Jackman.

Cockney
Made famous by actors like Michael Caine, this is considered the "working class" London dialect. This is an accent that Tom Hardy excels at, having demonstrated it in films like Bronson, Legend and Peaky Blinders.
American Southern (General)
This is a dialect that is widely imitated and often actors take it too far. This dialect will also vary greatly depending on the area you're trying to capture, so some adjustments may be necessary. Walton Goggins is great example to study.
Birmingham (Peaky Blinders)
This is the specific dialect used in the show Peaky Blinders which is a bit different than the modern Birmingham (UK). etc etc
Boston, US (General)
This is a hard dialect to get right. Like many dialects, there is a certain culture that can come with it and Boston culture is intrinsically connected to this dialect. City on a Hill is a good show to study to become more familiar with this dialect.
