		<description>I found a fun article in The Sydney Morning Herald about Australian actors mastering the American accent and the difficulties of it. Katherine Hopwood-Poulsen, a vocal coach discusses the finer points and gives Rose straight A&#039;s because she makes it so effortless. 

Here is her comments about Rose: 

Rose Byrne 
10/10
She grew up in Balmain, Sydney, but Rose Byrne makes the American accent sound effortless in the legal drama Damages. Performing opposite Glenn Close, she plays Ellen Parsons, a young lawyer working for a cutthroat litigator.
The dialogue is tight and snappy but Byrne manages with aplomb. &#039;&#039;There&#039;s nothing bad I can say about that,&#039;&#039; Hopwood-Poulsen says. &#039;&#039;Everything is there. The sounds, the connection to the thoughts and the placement in the mouth.&#039;&#039;
Byrne is so relaxed that Hopwood-Poulsen believes she no longer has to think about the accent. &#039;&#039;Look at her,&#039;&#039; she says. &#039;&#039;Not a trace of tension. The accent is so much a part of her you don&#039;t even realise she&#039;s doing one. Her focus is entirely on the character, the dialogue and the emotion.
&#039;&#039;Learning an accent is like learning a dance. You have to learn the steps before you can have fun with it.&#039;&#039;
