SUMMARY:EXPERIENCING SPEECH #27 Online from Australia
DESCRIPTION:A Six-Day Online Workshop in:\nthe sounds of the world’s languages \nthe physicality of speech actions \nintroducing descriptive phonetics \nthe skills of formal and informal speech \nWith Teachers Simon Masterton & Linda Nicholls-Gidley \nJuly 6- 12\, 2020\, 12:00-7:00 Australian Eastern Standard Time. \nThat’s 7:30am-2:30pm in Mumbai and Colombo; \n10am-5pm in Singapore\, Perth\, Kuala Lumpur\, Beijing\, and Hong Kong; \n11am-6pm in Seoul and Tokyo; \n2-9pm in New Zealand. \nThere will be an hour-long daily meal break from 3:00 to 4:00pm AEST. \nJuly 9th will be a day off. \nAll sessions will be recorded and shared with participants. \nClick here for a full description of the workshop. \n“[The KTS Teachers] were fantastic in leading the Online Version of Experiencing Speech. Both were brilliant in understanding our needs\, as well as filling in any “gaps” we might have felt we would have missed from an in-person version. [They] covered all the bases of what we would have and could have wanted from an in-person workshop. As a bonus\, by watching how they managed challenges\, I learned how to effectively and easily teach online!

SUMMARY:EXPERIENCING SPEECH #26 Online
DESCRIPTION:Registration for EXPERIENCING SPEECH #26 is currently closed.\nClick here to add your name to the waitlist\n\n  \nA Six-Day Online Workshop in:\nthe sounds of the world’s languages \nthe physicality of speech actions \nintroducing descriptive phonetics \nthe skills of formal and informal speech \nWith Teachers Andrea Caban & Julie Foh \nMay 26-June 1\, 2020\, 8am-3pm Pacific Time. \nDaily lunch break 11am-12pm. \nMay 29th will be a day off. \nAll sessions will be recorded and shared with participants. \nClick here for a full description of the workshop. \n“[The KTS Teachers] were fantastic in leading the Online Version of Experiencing Speech. Both were brilliant in understanding our needs\, as well as filling in any “gaps” we might have felt we would have missed from an in-person version. [They] covered all the bases of what we would have and could have wanted from an in-person workshop. As a bonus\, by watching how they managed challenges\, I learned how to effectively and easily teach online! Having all of our sessions recorded and accessible forever is an incredible gift\, and I know I will be returning to it often to re-learn and make sure the nutrients of the sessions really sink in. I will be recommending KTS online or otherwise to anyone who might be interested in something like this. “ \n– Lydia Flock \n  \n\n\n\nWorkshop Costs:       \n\n\n\n\nVASTA Members    \n\n\n$800*\n\n\n\n\nANY Union Members\n\n\n$800**    \n\n\n\n\nNon-members\n\n\n$900***\n\n\n\n\n\n* Use the code “vasta” when checking out.\n** Use the code “unionpride” when checking out.\n*** If you’re interested in repeating an “Experiencing…” workshop that you’ve already taken\, contact us for discount code.\n\n\n\n\nThere is also a PART ONE ONLY OPTION for $500 ($400 with union membership)! \nThis three-day session (Part One) focuses on: \nAwareness and practice of precise articulation action \nThe physical actions that produce all the sounds of the world’s languages—”Omnish” \nVocal Tract Posture—the articulatory basis for the sounds in accents and languages \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:KTS Webinar #25: The Dialects of Gender and Sexual Orientation
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Monday\, February 24th\, at 2:00 p.m. PST for our first webinar of 2020 on “The Dialects of Gender and Sexual-Orientation” hosted by KTS and Fitzmaurice Voicework teacher\, Adriano Cabral\, and Chicago Voice Center founder and Fitzmaurice Voicework teacher\, Diane Robinson. \n\nIn this webinar\, we will share contemporary research on the expression of gender identity and sexual-orientation as a “dialect.” We will demonstrate examples of voice and speech work that we have used to empower the LGBTQIA actor and non-actor to express their identity in performance and presentation. The webinar will include time for discussion of questions that arise from the work\, including but not limited to: \n\nCan voice and speech work advocate for the expression of the performer’s gender and sexual-orientation in performance?\nCan considering gender and sexual-orientation expression as “accent” and “dialect” help us encourage the actor to bring their whole self to the creation of a character?\nHow has work with LGBTQIA clients formed and informed these questions?\nWhat do we think about being asked to help a non-LGBTQIA actor portray an LGBTQIA character? Or to help an LGBTQIA actor “pass” as a non-LGBTQIA character?\nHow can non-LGBTQIA coaches and teachers mentor LGBTQIA coaches when working with the community?\nWhat are some current positive and negative casting trends\, and ways forward in representation?\n\nThis webinar will be geared towards actors who identify as LGBTQIA and the voice teachers and coaches working with them. Attendees will come away with an enhanced understanding of the extent to which vocal behaviors contribute to self-expression and character creation. \n\n\n\nAdriano Cabral is Assistant Professor of Voice and Movement at the University of Nevada\, Reno. They hold their BA in Musical Theatre from Rhode Island College and MFA in Theatre Performance from Arizona State University. They are a certified teacher of Fitzmaurice Voicework® and Knight-Thompson Speechwork.

Publications: Here’s How to Teach Voice and Communication Skills to Transgender Women from Plural Publishing. Affiliations: VASTA (Board Member)\, ATHE\, AEA (EMC). www.adriano-cabral.com \nDiane Robinson is a voice coach who works with gender diverse adults and children\, and the wellness professionals who serve them\, to construct and express gender identity in voice and speech. In addition to individual and group lessons\, Diane trains clinicians working with gender diverse adolescents\, and presents nationally on gender and voice. She has completed training with Northwestern University\, WPATH\, and Supporting Gender Diverse Speakers: A Course for Voice Clinicians. \nRecent creative work includes performing with Chicago Dramatists and Piven Theatre Workshop\, leading accent improv workshops at Second City\, dialect coaching for NBC’s Chicago Fire and Chicago theater company Blue Bird\, and coaching college productions at Roosevelt\, Columbia College Chicago\, Trinity\, LSU\, Cal State Long Beach and UTEP. Diane holds an MFA in Acting from the University of California\, Irvine\, and is a member of WPATH and VASTA and Actors Equity. She’s a certified Fitzmaurice Voicework® teacher and has completed KTS Experience Speech\, Experiencing Accents and Phonetics Intensive. She can be reached at diane@chicagovoicecenter.com \n\nThe Registration fee is $10 to cover hosting costs.  \nAll webinars are recorded\, so\, if you can’t attend live\, you can still register and watch at your convenience! \nOnce a month\, every member of the KTS community is invited to connect\, collaborate\, and share all things KTS related.  If you have taken Experiencing Speech or have been introduced to fundamental Experiencing Speech practices\, or if you are interested in this aspect of the work\, this webinar is for you!  Your KTS questions\, solutions\, phobias\, phenomena\, details\, observations\, obsessions\, and fancies are all invited to the conversation. Our aim for the Webinar Series is to keep us connected on a regular basis\, sustain our KTS conversations\, and strengthen our growing KTS community. \nOur webinars were inspired by VASTA’s forum on “Things that Work.” \nWanna Lead a Webinar? \nWe welcome volunteer facilitators and lead presenters for our monthly webinars.  Is there a topic you would like to research and/or share your experience on? Would this be a useful line item on your CV?  Contact the KTS Webinar Series organizers Foster Johns and Keri Safran at ktswebinars@gmail.com to schedule you as a KTS webinar facilitator.

Attendees will come away with an enhanced understanding of the extent to which vocal behaviors contribute to self-expression and character creation. \n\n\n\nAdriano Cabral is Assistant Professor of Voice and Movement at the University of Nevada\, Reno.

SUMMARY:BUILDING THE ACCENT SKILL in Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Building the Accent Skill:\nAn Introduction to Knight-Thompson Speechwork for Performers \nWhen:\nSaturday\, February 8th\, 2:30pm – 6:30pm\nSunday\, February 9th\, 12pm – 4pm \nWhere:\nRaven Playhouse\, 5233 Lankershim Blvd.\, North Hollywood\, CA 91601 \nTaught by:\nTyler Seiple\nwww.accentcoachla.com \nPrice: $250\n($175 for members of Stuart Rogers’ Studios) \nCertified Teacher Tyler Seiple is launching a new series of Knight-Thompson Speechwork workshops for performers and public speakers in the Los Angeles area (in association with Stuart Rogers’ Studios). This initial two-day workshop will focus on understanding what accents are and the skills needed to develop them. With eight hours of discussion\, exercises\, and context\, students will walk away with an understanding of the muscles that shape speech\, the patterns that make up accents\, and the tools they need to adopt any accent. It will also introduce a more helpful\, KTS-based approach to the idea of “Accent Reduction\,” getting to the same result without shame or guilt. \nUpon completion of Building the Accent Skill\, students will be invited to take short\, half-day classes in a wide (and expanding) variety of accents. Using the foundation of Building the Accent Skill\, students  will be able to break down and integrate target accents in less time and with a clear process. These accent-specific classes will be offered throughout 2020\, and will include: \n\nAccents of London\nSo-Called General American\nThe American South\nThe American Northeast\nAppalachia\nNorth of England\nScotland\nIreland\nAustralia & New Zealand\nFrance\nGermany\nItaly\nMexico\nEastern Europe & Russia\n\nWith more Modules in development\, the opportunities afforded by Building the Accent Skill will continue to expand. \nSpace will be limited.
