Dialect and accent are defining qualities, infusing your character with an indication of geography, time period, socio-economic background, culture, and individual personality. Actors often take shortcuts to quickly imitate a dialect in an audition situation, but the key to mastering any dialect is learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). In this 5-week class, Jane will teach you IPA and then apply it to standard British RP. You will also study techniques of defining the vocal posture, rhythm, music, lilt, and physicality inherent to this accent. With these fundamentals under your belt, you'll have the tools necessary to learn any dialect.
