Being a native Russian language user with a Masters Degree in Philology (linguistics), I work with actors to achieve flawless pronunciation. The common perception of Russian is that it’s a hard sounding language, which is far from reality. Russian is very soft in sound, so for the actor faced with having to perform a role with Russian accent or having to deliver lines in Russian, the first step is to understand and learn “soft” consonants. The vowel reduction is the next step, especially if the actor is portraying a Muscovite. We complete the process with learning the emphases, for the slight difference of intonation in a Russian sentence may change the whole meaning of it.
