Spanish Accents and Dialects for ActorsVolume 1 North America and the Caribbean\nAuthor(s): Elisa Gonzales, Josh F.S. Moser, Adi Cabral\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032534701, 978-1032534701\nSynopsis\nSpanish Accents and Dialects for Actors: Volume 1 North America and the Caribbean is an interactive roadmap to the accents and dialects of the Spanish-speaking world that uses trauma-informed approaches to navigate the reclamation of the Latino/a/e/x home sounds.\n\nHistorically, performing Spanish-speaking characters has been done through oversimplification and has left actors with minimal resources for navigating the authentic portrayal of the Latine community on stage and on screen. Characters of the Spanish speaking diaspora are often reduced to overly simplistic caricatures of sensuality and aggressive temperaments, while Latine actors are asked to erase their cultural identity in order to fit into these.
