Manoel Felciano

I grew up with a Swiss mother and attended International Schools in California, Paris and Zurich. My relatives are Czech, Catalan, Spanish, French, German, Swiss, and American. I went to school with Iranians, Latin Americans, Russians and Europeans. My father is a composer and I grew up as a musician and singer. I got an MFA in Acting from NYU where there was strenuous emphasis on dialect work via IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). Accents and Dialects: British (upper class) British (cockney/east end) Irish Scottish American Southern - Mountain (heavier R) American Southern - old south American Surfer American Minnesota/Midwestern American New York Russian French German Spanish "Indeterminate European Expat Businessman" - light accent of someone who has lived in many places and speaks many languages

I grew up loving languages, words, voices, accents and dialects. When I became an actor, I paid special attention to those aspects of my work.
