In this episode of Science Quickly, hosts Kendra Pierre-Louis and
Allison Parshall dive into the surprising linguistics behind the
hit TV series Heated Rivalry. Pierre-Louis and Parshall speak with
the show’s Russian dialect coach Kate Yablunovsky about how she
helped actor Connor Storrie deliver impressively authentic Russian
dialogue on a tight time line. Yablunovsky breaks down what the
toughest Russian sounds are for English speakers, why perfect
accents aren’t always the goal and how cultural context, mouth
posture and psychology all shape believable performances. E-mail us
