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 a spelling bee and the people who participate in one.
About Me
I was the Youngest Boy Ever to compete at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, at the age of just 6!
I've since competed at the National level a record SIX times, making me the most experienced person in the world on the national level.
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! I have experience in Hollywood, through both film and TV projects, so you can count on me to serve as your spelling consultant.
I've served as a Spelling Consultant on a 2026 Hollywood Short Film and can't wait to work with you!
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!
