Beyond the ACCENT: Speak Without Limits, with Keri

Two Accent Coaches Walk Into a Podcast...

Listen Later

Today’s Beyond the Accent is a first — and it’s a duo episode!
I’m joined by the brilliant Kristina Birk — voice actor, writer, coach, and all-around walking novel. We talk about everything from how we stumbled into each other's lives, to New York vs. L.A., to how growing up as "the odd one out" shaped our coaching journeys.

Along the way, we dive into:

  •  What it's really like to train at a professional conservatory for actors in New York City 🎭
  •  How Alexander Technique can change not just your voice, but your life 🧘‍♀️
  •  Who needs pronunciation and what kind of bridges it can help you build 🌍
  •  What it's like to fall in love (and stay in love) with New York 💙
  •  And why every learner needs both open-heartedness and structure to grow.

    • It's heartfelt, it's hilarious, and it’s probably the realest conversation we've had about voice, identity, and carving your place in the world — in any language.

    Come hang out with us — I think you’ll feel right at home.
