Andy Krieger Helping Canadian Actors Lose their Accent

[NCBellWitch]

They definitely say the 'ow' sound differently!!!!

I don't really see the issue unless you have a stronger Canadian accent (east coast, Alberta, etc).

I think a lot of Canadian accents could be mistaken for those from Northern US states.

But then again, I'm not an actor.

It matters when you are an aspiring actor trying to land a role in a Hollywood production and the casting directory looks at you funny as you read your lines.

Everyone has an accent. So what?

No kidding. There are definitely words that Canadians pronounce differently from Americans. Ask any Canadian how they say "roof".
