Ladies, gentlemen, and all of you who don’t fit into those categories, may I have your attention, please! I am thrilled to introduce you to me… the one and only Keith Higinbotham (that’s me) – dialect and voice coach extraordinaire, and my blog!
If you’re thinking, “Who’s this Keith guy, and why should I care?” Well, let me tell you, he’s the voice on many a commercial, voicing such loved characters as Marvin the Mole for Vision Express! I’ve got a talent for mastering accents and dialects from around the world, and I’m here to share my expertise with you.
This blog is going to cover everything from accents and dialects to speech, performance, directing, voiceovers, and much more. It’s going to be informative, engaging, and most importantly, it’s going to be funny! (Disclaimer: might not be really really funny!)
I’m going to share insider tips on how to nail British accents (yes there are many), perfect a Southern drawl, or how to sound like you’re from outer space (yes, that’s a real thing!). I’ll also give you advice on how to get the most out of your voice, whether you’re an actor, public speaker, or just someone who wants to sound awesome.
Now, I know some of you might be thinking, “Why do I need to learn this stuff?” Well, let me tell you, having the ability to nail an accent or dialect can take your performance to the next level! Imagine being able to seamlessly switch between a Scottish brogue and a New York accent like it’s no big deal. You’ll blow the audience away!
And if you’re not an actor or public speaker, that’s okay too. Keith’s blog is for anyone who loves language and wants to learn more about it. Plus, you’ll get some killer party tricks out of it.
So, in conclusion, if you want to learn from one of the best in the business, if you want to impress your friends and family with your voicey skills, or if you just want to have a good laugh, then you’ve come to the right place.
