Episode 72 - The Transatlantic Accent (w/Luis)

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Luis to talk about a fascinating accent:the Transatlantic accent. You’ve probably heard it in old Hollywood films, but Luis has actually adopted it as his own. We laugh about how this “verbal suit” has shaped the way people see him, while also geeking out over accent quirks. A great example of how YOUR VOICE really is YOUR CHOICE. Something you get to design on purpose.

Have you heard of this accent before?
