“Experiencing Speech has been a practical, detailed and really fun exploration of all the possible speech sounds – I felt as though I was in the safest, most experienced possible hands and it’s been a joy to share the time with such an interested, warm group of people. The online format really worked for me with this course: we had break rooms to work in smaller groups, a ‘hands up’ system for questions (which worked really fluidly), an ability to quickly share resources and virtual whiteboards and best of all everything was recorded meaning that we could relax and enjoy the course knowing that we would be able to come back and rewatch any areas that we wanted to later.”

This three-day session (Part One) focuses on:

Awareness and practice of precise articulation action

The physical actions that produce all the sounds of the world’s languages—”Omnish”

Vocal Tract Posture—the articulatory basis for the sounds in accents and languages

This session will also prepare the participant for Part Two, which includes detailed phonetic transcription and an exploration of the skills of formal and informal speech. (No phonetic transcription will be used in Part One of the workshop.) Email knightthompsonspeechwork@gmail.com if interested in a PART ONE ONLY OPTION.
