Great piece! I’m a native Russian speaker and I was astounded with Connor’s mastery of the language, his mannerisms and facial expressions. I was convinced he was Russian until Google revealed his Texan origins 😂. Kate did a fantastic job!
This breakdown of dialect coaching is exceptional. The insight about restraint defining Ilya's character rather than excess really reframes what authenticity means in performance. I once worked witha translator on a project and saw how much body language changed between langauges, its something most people never consider until they see it demonstrated so clearly.
this was awesome to read. i’m an actor and in one of my favorite acting books, the intent to live by larry moss, he notes how an accent is with the whole body, and connor is a perfect example of that!
