Are you showing up authentically or are you prone to hiding?

In this episode, I explore the hidden connection between authenticity in your life and how believable your American accent sounds on screen and on stage.

Listen as I talk about:

• The difference between authentic vs. inauthentic
• How fear, people-pleasing, and perfectionism show up in your accent
• Why your daily life habits mirror how you perform with an accent
• Practical steps to uncover more authenticity in both your craft and your voice
