# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Dialects for Screen: Masterclass with Jacob Hajjar (previously Anne Whitaker)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: Guest Tutor Update: This masterclass will now be led by Jacob Hajjar, replacing the previously advertised tutor, Anne Whitaker. The focus of the session remains the same: mastering the General American accent for screen. The date, time, venue and hybrid format remain unchanged. Existing tickets remain valid.

General American is one of the most in-demand accents in casting — and one of the easiest to let slip under pressure.

You can know the lines inside out, but if the accent wobbles, casting hears it immediately. This all-day masterclass is designed to help you lock it in, properly.

On the 27th June 2026, Jacob Hajjar joins WAoSA in Wrexham to lead an intensive General American accent masterclass, teaching live in the room with the session streamed for online observers.

Jacob Hajjar is a singing and dialect coach with experience across screen, theatre and actor training. He has taught accents to actors in drama school settings and has coached on productions for companies including Netflix and DreamWorks.

His screen dialect coaching credits include work connected to The Wheel of Time, We Were the Lucky Ones, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, The Penguin, The Last of Us, Giri/Haji and Rhyme Time Town.

Jacob’s approach focuses on helping actors develop accents that sound natural, grounded and playable on screen — not “put on”.

Across the day, you’ll work on:

• The core sounds and rhythm of General American
• Prosody — the musicality and natural flow of speech
• Practical drills to maintain consistency in self-tapes and on camera
• Live coached practice with clear, usable feedback
• Applying the accent naturally within scene work and screen performance

Whether you’re in the room or observing online, you’ll come away with sharper listening skills, practical tools you can practise straight away, and a more confident American accent that holds up when it matters.

In-room spaces are limited to keep the work focused and hands-on.
