💬 “It is disgraceful that people are mocked, criticised or singled out for their accents.”
Our research has highlighted how those from working class backgrounds have been mocked in the workplace because of their accent.
Accent bias must be tackled.

Very sad to hear of @DrMichaelMosley's death.There is no doubt of the significant impact he made on the health of many. I can absolutely thank him for many of the health adjustments I've made over the past few years. Sending deepest condolances to his family & those who loved him
Dr Michael Mosley
He taught us about the importance of wellbeing and taking care of ourselves
And now he’s teaching us how short life can be, and how easily it can be taken from us
In his memory let’s embrace each day & strive to live our best lives fully (and healthily)
@juliefon_@jonnyweldon He sure did. Captain Jack Lee (known to us as 'Jo') was my Grandad. Such an amazing moment for us to be able to share Jo with the world and for his story to be told.
We are beyond proud to share my Grandfather Captain Jack (Jo) Lee’s words with the world and to @jonnyweldon for bringing them to life so beautifully. We continue to love the ‘splendid things - birds and trees and sunsets and books and music and friendship’ #Dday80
A great honour to be part of the D-Day 80 years celebrations in Portsmouth today, reading the letter Captain Jack Lee sent to his wife and children, 3 days before he died in 1944.
Helen Mirren wished me luck, I was on after the PM and performed for the King and Queen 🤯
@jonnyweldon@hatch_talent@jonnyweldon Thank you for doing my Grandfather Captain Jack (Jo) Lee proud today. We will be forever grateful for his Legacy and to you for bringing him to life so beautifully

Accent Samples pls?? On the hunt for Local/Broad Dublin accents (as opposed to the more General accent). Who are your fave people with this accents that I can find videos of? Be great to have a mix of people reflecting the city.
As we open another load of auditions I thought I’d post some stats on the last show we cast that followed this format (first round via self tape, recalls in person).
We love our industry but it’s an unfortunate truth that not everyone upholds the same high standards we strive for. Here is a short thread of ways to report unacceptable behaviour or abuse
