Target Audience: For those who want to improve their clarity of speech
Brief Outline: We will explore techniques used by actors to change their accent. We will practise Received Pronunciation for an enhanced clarity of speech. The intention is not to change your accent dramatically but to help you build a technique to enable you to adjust your accent when it would be helpful.
The aim of this course is to enable you to incorporate clear English pronunciation into your everyday speech, building clarity where necessary while maintaining positive aspects of your natural accent. Participants will:
- Look at how and why we sound the way we do
- Understand the similarities and differences of English and other accents
- Work on rhythm, stress and inflection
- Practise Received Pronunciation vowel sounds and consonants.
- Take part in exercises for relaxation, breathing and resonance placement
- Work with phonetic symbols and sounds
