After Winslet signed onto the project, Ingelsby began sending Winslet and Hegarty voice memos that he recorded of his wife, who speaks with a subtle Delco accent. “He started sending me candid recordings of his family,” said Hegarty. “He would just turn the recorder on when they were in the car, driving the kids home—and I would hear his wife, and maybe her sister or her parents would be in the car, and the kids, and they would be playing charades at home.
“I had to work on it every single day,” said Winslet. “I didn’t learn it and then just go and do the show. Every single day I was working on the dialect on the way to work, when I got in the hair and makeup trailer, as soon as I could find someone to run lines with—it was just constant.” Said Hegarty, “It’s an accent, not a costume. You don’t just go in for a fitting, put it on, and then you’re done. It has to be maintained. It’s a living thing and has to be renewed every day.”“There’s always the danger that as an actor, you can sound like you’re doing a voice,” said Winslet. “There was a [woman] namedwho’s a detective. I worked alongside her as a large part of the preparation too. She was my go-to. I mean, I’d call her at five in the morning and go, ‘I’m on my way to work.
Winslet said that she consciously took the dialect down a few notches so it would be less distracting to viewers. “[Audiences] don’t notice the costumes or the hair. I’m wearing a wig in the show, but you’d never know. The accent had to be the same.”While Winslet worked with Hegarty, and Sulby helped other actors,decided to specifically imitate a Delco native while playing Detective Colin Zabel. Said Ingelsby, “We had a tech advisor on the show,who is a local cop.
The outlet even used Winslet’s work as an example of an actor delivering “a good, convincing Philly accent” versus one, infamous to Philly, that was attempted by actor
Much of SEPA is bucolic and only certain pockets have that dreadful accent. Kate's accent sounds more Charm City and less Tina Fey 'Iggles.' I guess 'Mare from Upper Darby' didn't have a nice ring to it.
