Admission to the Teacher Certification Program is open only to participants who have already taken Experiencing Speech\, Experiencing Accents and a Phonetics Intensive. Prospective participants in the Teacher Certification Program also must have some experience incorporating this approach in their own teaching or coaching before going on to Certification. \nApplication Process\nSubmit your application via this link. Then email an accent breakdown* and a link to an accent modelling sample to knightthompsonspeechwork@gmail.com. \nRequirements for Accent Breakdown: include a section for each of the 4Ps as taught in Experiencing Accents; include cut sound samples and phonetic transcription for the Posture section and each of the token sounds in the Pronunciation section. An expanded version of a breakdown from Experiencing Accents coursework is acceptable. \nRequirements for Accent Modelling Sample: A 2- to 3-minute fully-embodied performance of a memorized text in the accent from your breakdown. \nApplications open October 18\, 2022 and will close on April 24\, 2023. There will be three rounds of application review by the KTS Council. The first review will happen after November 10\, 2022; the second review will happen after January 15\, 2023; and the third will happen at the close of applications on April 24\, 2023. Priority will be given to early applications. Early applicants accepted into the cohort will receive feedback on their application and highly discounted re-taker pre-requisite workshop access.

SUMMARY:KTS Webinar #46.5 Acting and Prosody  – Prosodic Presumptions in Actor Training
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, the 20th of August at 11am PST/2pm EST/7pm BST.  \n\n\n\nTo convert this meeting to your time zone\, click here. \n\n\n\nWe are thrilled to invite Anne Whitaker for a special webinar on prosody. Anne is an excellent voice and accent coach who specialises in prosodic work for actors. She will be speaking about her development of prosodic exercises for actors and why this facet of voice work has been largely untapped. Anne’s research partner Linguist Beatrice Szczepek Reed\, King’s College\, will join to discuss their interdisciplinary work. Beatrice will share her work on how prosody functions in conversation as a realisation of social action\, rather than the revealing of internal emotional states. Together they will propose how that applies to the acting work. Anne will share the exercises they are developing to help actors of all stages acquire and utilise skills in pitch\, rhythm\, and intonation to enrich their voice and text work in a way that lines up with linguistic research. \n\n\n\nAnne Whitaker \n\n\n\nAnne Whitaker is a voice and accent coach based in the UK.
