I moved to LA from Mexico City to pursue an acting career, and before moving, I spent six months learning English. I studied super hard, like five to six hours every day. When I arrived in the US, I knew I had an accent, and it soon became clear that this was an obstacle for me. Especially when I spoke with agents and managers, everybody would say: “Oh, you need to get an American accent. If you got an American accent, you could be on any TV show and film. Get an American accent first and then call me.”
