Even as students strive to develop “standardized” speech for stage or film roles, many desire to “adopt” accents from other parts of the United States (regional sounds) or outside this country (foreign dialects). Students will learn the phonetic and consonant substitutions that various dialects incorporate, while training their ears to accommodate these new sounds. Monologues, dialogues, and a final performance will use these new accents with confidence and style.
Taught by a top speech and voice instructor.
Available in the Fall Program, Winter Program, and Spring Program
