ok so when i went to audition for a play, my character has an accent, but i didn't do my audition in an accent. i didn't read the part where it said he was from london (oops), and when i got in there, the director said i could do it in an accent, or not. he said i didn't have to. since i didn't practice in an accent, i decided not to. i reallyyy didn't think i did well with the audition.   i mean, i sort of pulled myself together in the middle, but yea. i don't think i did well. also, everybody else was doing accents.   do you think not doing an accent was a bad move? i mean technically he said i didn't have to...

I think that if you played the part really well without the accent then he may pick you and just tell you to work on the accent. however if you didn't do well and someone who used the accent did then they will pick them

They're always looking to be impressed, so I'd say don't hold your breath.
Why didn't you just do the accent?

Eh, well, there are lots of actors who have speech training AFTER they get the part - if you didn't do it in an accent, I suppose you';ll know that you've been chosen for your acting vs accent imitation skills.
I would have done it in an accent though.
