Hi everyone, I am French with a French accent. My question is, do you think it is important to get rid of it to succeed? Because everyone I meet tells me that it is cute and I think this is one of my thing, like a particularity... But on the other hand, I often read that it is better to not have an...

Expand commentI think in Hollywood you should, but as a person I think you should not. However, with an accent you do get type cast. I know with Dutch (I am one) you will get German roles. Only when you are really good in hiding your accent (Ruther Hauer, Carice van Houten and Famke Jansen) you get the bigger parts. It really depends on what your wishes are, I think.
Aren't you working in France?

Expand commentHi Jac,
When it comes to casting in North America there is a growing need for diverse performers with different backgrounds. Definitely don't lose what makes you unique. It's not as though you have to lie about who you are or head into a Zoom meeting with a Casting Director or Director putting on an accent that isn't natural to you. And if you see a breakdown looking for actors who can speak French, or speak with a convincing French accent then obviously that role was made for you.
I took a class with a reputable Casting Director about and a half year ago and she noticed that a number of her students were Latinx. She recommended that although their language and accent can be a HUGE plus when it comes to casting certain roles, they should work on learning how to speak with a convincing transatlantic accent as well. This would open up more casting opportunities for them.
When you're interacting with fellow professionals and slating before your audition, always be you and be natural. Once you're auditioning/performing you may take on the dialect that is natural to the character (which may be a straightforward transatlantic accent, may be US Georgian accent, may be a thick Boston accent).
Have fun with it! There are a number of great accent tutorials on YouTube that can be very helpful. Bien amicalement à vous!
