In many English-language scripts, there are characters who come from other countries and are speakers of different languages. Many such characters are from Europe. Therefore, you should have speech skills allowing you to audition for and play characters with the accents of European languages. So, use these eight programs to learn several accents from Romance and Slavic language groups and others of Germanic and Nordic languages.
