This two part course will take you through from the basic sounds and features of general American to working with text, to seeing how your accent stands up under the pressure of a self tape.

The course dates run as follows:
Saturday 12th of July 11am-5pm
Saturday 19th of July 11am- 5pm

In session one we will cover all of the key sounds of general American. If you are new to the accent this will give you the essential foundation you need to build upon. If you are more experienced it will be a chance to further refine and hone your understanding of the subtleties of placement and resonance we will then be putting our accents into action, playing with the complexities of text and language.

In session two we bring character into play, work shopping scenes that you’ll have had the chance to rehearse over the past week.
It’s an excellent opportunity to see how you perform under the pressure of a deadline and gain valuable insight in a professional yet supportive environment.

Material/ scenes will be different from prior courses making it suitable for those new to Rachel’s workshops as well as those who have attended before.

Rachel is an established voice and dialect coach who has worked in the industry - Theatre, T.V. and film - for over 25 years. Having herself begun her career as an actor, Rachel has a deep understanding of the needs of a performer and the vocal challenges they may face.
