Dialect coach Erik Singer takes a look at idiolects, better known as the specific way one individual speaks. To best break down this concept, Erik analyzes some actors playing real people. Just how close was Jamie Foxx's Ray Charles? What about Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Bob Dylan? Is Daniel Day-Lewis' Lincoln accurate?

Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles was mind blowing. He REALLY did Ray Charles justice in the movie. I've heard he's up for the role of Mike Tyson, and I think he's the perfect actor to do it.

I think Erik has convinced me that acting is much harder than I ever thought.

Lol i love how he called out the Selena performance. That movie would have been better if J Lo didn't insert 50% of herself while trying to play Selena.

John Wayne did a spot on John Wayne accent in that Genghis Khan performance.

I love how respectful and diplomatic Erik was in pointing out areas where actors did not match certain accent patterns of the individuals they were portraying.

I bet he and his spouse have interesting arguments about tone of voice. :) A: Don't use that tone with me! B: What tone?! A: Ohhhhh, don't get me started!

to be fair i'm not surprised jesse eisenberg didn't go for the voice, it must have been difficult to simulate a robot pretending to be human

I NEED Erik's analysis of Lady Gaga portraying Patrizia Reggiani in House of Gucci! She sounds a bit off to me, but some people are praising the accent, I need this guy's insight in this 😂

Being old enough to remember Julia Childs, Meryl Streep’s performance was so incredibly spot on it made you almost want to laugh it was so uncanny.
