ActingAccents: an online accent course for actors
Jordan Romero
Turning a coach's handouts into lessons students practice alone: word banks, type-and-reveal phonetics, and recording before moving on.
Fixing phonetic symbols that rendered as empty boxes with a self-hosted linguistics font, tested on every device.
The coach's documents were the spec. I asked what the student should feel, then built for that.
Live on the site: the free IPA keyboard, typing a phonetic transcription.
The prelaunch site: early-access signups, testimonials and the course pitch.
