HOW YOU CAN LEARN TO DO ACCENTS
Why do I start well but take a “geographical tour” of other places?!!!
Where do I begin? What am I listening for? How do I get the right sounds? What about the different rhythms and tunes? What about those vowels ... and what happens to the consonants? How can I sound “real”? How do I keep it going?
You CAN do accents.
Day 1
The first day of this workshop will cover how to approach an accent, practice it and stay believable.
It will include how to change your:
- “body talk”
- tune and rhythm
- tone and vocal “culture”
- vowels and consonants
It will also help with how to source good samples to work from. Handouts will be included.
Day 2
HOW YOU CAN LEARN TO DO AN RP / STANDARD ENGLISH ACCENT
This will follow on from HOW YOU CAN LEARN TO DO ACCENTS (see content for that day).
Whether you want to polish your RP accent, learn it from scratch, or use how we will work on RP to provide a good practice base for learning a range of other accents, the course will aim to meet you individual needs.
This practical one day workshop will enable you to move from your own accent base specifically towards authentic RP. Individual feedback will be given throughout the day. A full accent breakdown and handouts will be included.
Day 3
HOW YOU CAN LEARN TO DO A GENERAL AMERICAN ACCENT
If you have completed HOW YOU CAN LEARN TO DO ACCENTS and HOW YOU CAN LEARN TO DO AN RP ACCENT, you will be in a strong place to move across the water to the States.
This practical one day workshop will enable you to move from your own accent base specifically towards authentic “ Gen Am” - which is a specific accent, rather than a generalised American. Individual feedback will be given throughout the day. A full accent breakdown and handouts will be included.
Venue - Diorama Arts centre, 201 Drummond Street, London NW1 3FE
Timings - 10am till 4.30pm
What's included? - A day working with one of the best vocal coaches in the UK, handouts and also lunch.
