How Do You Learn a Foreign Accent For a Film or Stage Role?

Do you have to be a trained actor to learn a foreign accent? No you don’t, this is a skill that anyone can learn. As part of our new “How Do You Do That?” series on “Connections”, Evan Dawson sat down with actress Sammi Cohen and asked her how she prepares for a role that involves a foreign accent. 

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
