ISHA BLAAKER: Using Accent Work to Build a Character

As a former karate competitor and semi-pro boxer, actor Isha Blaaker trains like an athlete in his craft. Although he may be the first featured guest on the podcast with less than 10 years of industry experience, Isha is a fast-rising star who can currently be seen in Ava DuVernay’s latest feature film "Origin." Today, he breaks down how he folds accent work into character development and reminds us all that what is for you already has your name on it.
