SUMMARY:Modern RP 101—The Basics
DESCRIPTION:Modern RP is one of the most called for accents in film and probably the single most called for accent in theater. \nWhat is it? The RP stands for Received Pronunciation. Traditional RP is the accent you hear from older classically trained English actors\, like Ben Kingsley\, Helen Mirren\,\nor Jeremy Irons. Modern RP is what you’ll hear from many educated British English speakers today (especially those under the age of fifty or so).\nTraditional RP is still a useful accent to be sure—often what’s called for in period films or plays by writers like Wilde\, Shaw\, and Stoppard. But if you’re an actor under fifty and you’re playing an English character in the 21st century\, Modern RP is what you need. \nThe webinar will take place on Saturday\, June 10th from 12pm to 2:30pm EST. In it\, you will learn specific tools for mastering some the basics of Modern RP accents\, as well as clear and practical guidance for how to move forward and continue to practice on your own. \nThe webinar will be recorded and available after-the-fact as well\, so you can view or review the recording anytime\, even if you’re not able to attend live. \nThe webinar will designed to as to be useful to non-live participants as well as live ones. (After-the-fact purchases will include the full set of resources provided to live participants.) \nNote that the webinar is not interactive. Due to the time limitations\, most of the webinar will be focused on practical instruction in the accent\, rather than coaching individual participants. There will be short Q&A at the end. \n

SUMMARY:ACCENTS INTENSIVE #7 - 'General' American Accents
DESCRIPTION:Though this workshop has now passed\, you can purchase a complete recording of the course\, plus all supporting materials.\n\n\nA one-day workshop in ‘General’ american accents\nfor non-native speakers\,\nBrits\, Aussies\, Kiwis\, South Africans\, and Irish folk\nWith kts master teacher Erik Singer\nNew York City & online\, september 24th\, 2016\n  \nThis intensive one-day workshop\, for actors\, voice and speech teachers\, dialect coaches\, and other professional voice users†† will apply the innovative techniques of Knight-Thompson Speechwork to the acquisition of (so-called) ‘General’ American accents**. The special focus of this workshop will be on serving the needs of non-native speakers of English\, though native speakers of other varieties of English who wish to perfect a ‘General’ American accent are welcome as well. \n**’General’ American is a bit of a myth—there’s no one such accent. There are American accents that are received by a majority of Americans as lacking in regionally identifiable features\, and this is usually what is meant by ‘General’ American. This presents something of a problem for the actor who desires to learn such an accent—which one to learn? We will address this problem in the workshop\, but most of the instruction time will be devoted to learning one possible\, broadly useful\, version of ‘General’ American\, with some attention paid to possible variations\, and the whos\, whens\, and hows\, of their use. \n††Professional voice users who are not actors don’t necessarily need to perfect a native-sounding American actors\, but instead should focus on the skills of intelligibility in American English. This workshop will provide a valuable foundation in these skills\, and so is perfectly appropriate for non-actors as well as actors. \nThe physical focus of Knight-Thompson Speechwork allows actors and other professional voice users to learn accents much faster than with older techniques. Speakers using this approach can speak skillfully in the target accent\, without exaggeration or self-consciousness. \n  \nThis workshop will be focused exclusively on gaining proficiency in the target accent\, and will include time for individual instruction. Participants (in-person only) should be prepared with a short monologues or text appropriate for the accent. Extensive resources on the target accents—encompassing primary source audio files\, an interactive breakdown and exercises—will be provided to all participants. \n  \nParticipants do not need to have taken any prior Knight-Thompson workshops\, and no background in phonetics is necessary for participation (though we will be using IPA in our descriptions of characteristic sounds).
