Storm the Stage
Fri, 3 June 2005, 05:15 pmHi,
Just after some info from anyone who is invloved or knows much about Storm the Stage comp.
I was wondering how the adjudicator's felt about accents? I'm trying to decide whether to keep an Aussie accent or do an American one (as it's an American monologue).
Thanks,
Ashleigh

Well one of the winners last year used an American accent, as she had an American piece, and she won an audition. It also depends on your piece as well I guess. If your talking about aspects of American culture, probably best to go with accent. If its fairly Universal and not obvious as to where your piece is set then stick with what you know I reckon.
In short, probably best not to have Blanche from streetcar speaking like Kath and Kim. (Bit un-ewes-ual).
But thats just me.
