Gain confidence in auditions that call for accents -- and maintain it when you book the role! Atlanta actor and dialect coach Carolyn Cook offers a physical approach to accent work that will give you the skills you need to embody a character's unique vocal pattern.
In this class, you will...
- Identify your own “home base” accent and embrace it as your starting point
- Explore the bones and muscles of your vocal tract -- the articulators that shape your own speech
- Discover how the sounds and shapes of a new accent are different or similar to your own
- Gain physical skills to shape your articulators into the sounds of new accents
- Listen for the "music" of an accent -- its prosody -- and use it to make your speech more authentic
- Apply these skills and discoveries to monologue work in an accent of your choice.
