Brush up an accent before tomorrow's audition!

Get a head start on practicing before rehearsals start!

The handouts I've created separate the substitutions of the dialect between Vowels and Consonants, and include a brief history on the dialect itself.  I encourage my students to start early, start slowly (especially if they've never had to do a dialect before), and listen!  


What You'll Get

Each 1 hour session includes... 
~ A packet and a comprehensive overview of what the substitutions are, and which to start with
~ A list of source materials and media suggestions
~ Sessions may involve (but are not limited to)...
     - Phonetic Drills
     - Listening Exercises
     - Recitation 
     - Playback of your progress
     - Scoring your script/sides using the International
          Phonetic Alphabet
     - For sessions scheduled for audition purposes, an
           added 10-minute session may be scheduled to 
           run through your sides the day of the audition at
           no additional charge depending upon coach and
           student availability.


Again, just like with Accent Reduction, the number of sessions required depends upon adaptability.  Regardless of the number of meetings we have, it is essential that you work in between to show improvement.
    
 

"Kelli did the dialect coaching for my production of Top Girls with an all undergraduate cast.  Her dialect packets for each character were impeccable and of enormous help to the students.  Her individual coaching was excellent and all the young women in the show were able to be successful.  Kelli simply did a marvelous job."  ~ Cathy Albers, now Professor at Case Western Reserve University
