Accents Master Class

3 Week Standard British (RP) and London Accents Master Class with Elizabeth Abbott
So, let’s say you’ve received a casting notice, and the audition requires a Standard British (RP) accent. Do you …
… panic while frantically searching YouTube for accent tips?
… fake it and hope for the best?
… start off well but then struggle to keep the accent consistent?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, join dialect coach Elizabeth Abbott (https://www.elizabethabbott.info/dialectcoach) at a three-session master class for actors. We will be diving deep into the Standard British accent (often called Received Pronunciation or RP), which is used by upper class English characters. We’ll also explore other London accents such as Estuary, Cockney and MLE.
In this three-session master class, you’ll discover:
-fun pronunciation exercises to make your RP accent more convincing,
-simple techniques to keep your accent consistent,
-ways to dial up or down the “posh” element of your RP accent for roles in contemporary and period pieces,
-common misconceptions about RP and other London accents,
-creative ways to bend your accent for different characters,
-words, phrases, and grammar rules unique to UK English,
-quick tips for noting pronunciation changes in your script and much more!
