Ten years ago, I had a vision: to create the largest online database
of global voices from around the world — completely free for
everyone to access and share.
As an Accent and Dialect coach, I understood the struggle actors
face when trying to master authentic accents. Professional coaching
is expensive, and quality resources are hard to find. Actors are
often on tight budgets, yet they need access to real, authentic
voices to perfect their craft.
That's why I created The Accent Bank — a free resource where actors
can contribute their own accents and listen to recordings from real
people around the world. Contributors send me videos, I upload them
to YouTube, and embed them on this website, making it easy for
anyone to explore and learn from authentic accents.
My mission is simple: to help actors hear the world, one accent at a
time, without barriers or cost.
Because everyone deserves access to the tools that help them
succeed.
