EXPERIENCING SPEECH: Part One
August 9, 2017 @ 10:00 am - August 11, 2017 @ 6:00 pm
$100 – $500This Summer in Singapore, KTS Teachers Julie Foh and Jeremy Sortore offer a three day workshop in Experiencing Speech: A playful, investigative, and thorough introduction to your vocal tract and the shapes of human language!
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.)
