Ever wonder how your favorite actors and actresses play one type of character so convincingly and then seamlessly give an equally strong performance in a role that is utterly different in their next film or play?  Of the many qualities that help actors succeed, a chameleon-like versatility is among the most powerful - and the same can be said of successful polyglots.  But how do actors develop versatility? This talk will discuss and demonstrate some acting techniques that can help you improve the languages you speak or are learning by teaching you how to build a character for each language the way an actor builds a different character for each role.  The focus will be on speaking and will be particularly useful for polyglots, though even if you are learning one foreign language, you can still benefit from these techniques.
