Available for Productions
Spelling Consultant for Film / TV
Spelling bees may look simple on screen, but creating an authentic spelling bee scene requires getting a surprising number of details right — from word selection and pronunciation to competition procedures, contestant and family behavior, and the pressure of spelling a word correctly with an audience watching.
I'm Akash Vukoti, and I'm available to serve as a spelling bee consultant for film and television productions. Having been involved in spelling bees since age 2 and Hollywood since age 6, I can help productions accurately portray the experience of spelling bees and the competitors who participate in them!
About Me
- I was the Youngest Boy Ever to compete at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, at the age of just 6!

- I've been featured on numerous hit TV shows, including 3 appearances with Steve Harvey!
- I've been featured on Little Big Shots, the Steve Harvey Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the Kelly Clarkson Show, and countless other national and international TV programs!

For someone unfamiliar with competitive spelling, a spelling bee can seem like simply hearing a word and spelling it aloud — but it's much more detailed than that! I can help make your film/TV project more realistic and authentic through my experience in both spelling bees and TV!
