Episode 332: Natalie Moon
Actress Natalie Moon is fully bidialectal, meaning she’s equally proficient in using two or more dialects of the same language. In fact, she’s so proficient at being bidialectal that she’s an in-demand accent coach, and has coached big bold names like Jon Voight and Kristin Chenoweth. She also produced How To Make it in Hollywood (When You’re Foreign AF), Alessandro Miro’s hilarious web series that skewered stereotypes around accents in the film biz. In addition to her work in the accent realm, Natalie is also a talented actor who has performed in an array of fan favourite productions, including The Flash, Motherland: Fort Salem, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Death Note, and a recent episode of Superman & Lois in which she portrayed Lex Luthor’s ex-wife, Erica Alexandra del Portenza Luthor.
In this fascinating conversation, Natalie talks about what it takes to be bidialectal, the creative ways she builds backgrounds for her characters, that time Sir Patrick Stewart read Moby Dick to her class at the Oxford School of Drama, and how she prepared to play Erica, Lex Luthor’s ex-wife, on Superman & Lois (also: Sabrina shares her unpopular opinion on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine).
