Just when you thought it was safe - English accent required

Typical. I'd spent the entire morning getting a grip with some paper work and was planning a veg afternoon and my agent calls with an audition.

- well connected director : ain't they all
- playing a dad : seems to be the way it's going - that and policemen
- no money : do i look surprised?
- seeing other's but you're the favourite : if you don't get it you've really f*cked it
- english accent required : aaaaaggghh!

Now i know that my job is characters and that accents are part of that but i do find accents a real chore. Even as i'm writing this I know I'm sounding like a real pussy.

Okay, just get on with it. Now where's that script?

b.t.w. here's a link to an on-line accent resource TheSpeechAccentArchive
