Description

Our Accent Reduction class is designed for both the actor and non-actor whose first language is not English or who is bilingual but has a strong foreign native language accent or the actor who has a heavy regionalism.

You'll work with the amazing Susan Finch who will help you to isolate and identify English sounds that are not in your native language and you'll practice producing these sounds in a natural, fluid manner, minimizing your native accents or regionalism.

You'll also practice breathing techniques which will support clearer pronunciation and articulation. Susan will also introduce The International Phonetics Alphabet (IPA) which will be used to correct habitual speech problems.

From there you'll transition to practicing storytelling and delivering monologues, concentrating on clear speech with minimal native language pronunciation issues, integrating proper phrasing, inflection and rhythm.

All class participants will receive a copy of "Speak With Distinction" by Edith Skinner which Susan will use and refer to in your class.

Please bring these tools with you to every class:

Textbook: SPEAK WITH DISTINCTION
A small mirror
Sharpened pencils with eraser
Paper

School Notes:

Class end time will vary depending on the number of actors and the scenes that are assigned. Registrants are advised to budget extra time, as class time may run over.

Refund Policy

We regret that we are unable to give refunds under any circumstances.

If you cancel at least 3 business days before the scheduled time of your seminar, you will receive credit for monies paid.
The policy for an online class or special event is 8 business days prior to the start date in order to receive credit for monies paid.

If you cancel in time, credit is automatically returned to your account. If you are canceling late, no credit is given unless we find a replacement for you. We have, on occasion, been able to replace actors who cancel late with others from wait lists or who might be standing by. If you are replaced, as a courtesy, we will not charge you for the late cancellation. Please consider any late cancellation a charge on your account, and any resulting replacement a courtesy. You may want to readjust your schedule to attend since, although we do our best to have full seminars, we can never promise a replacement.

If you are a “no show” for a seminar, you will not receive credit under any circumstances.

Susan was wonderful, direct and gave me the direction to improve my accent. I was one of the non-actor in the class.

Susan upholds impeccable professionalism and artistic discipline. She has an acute understanding of each student's development needs and provide correction and guidance accordingly. I would take her class again.
