Course outline:
This course is best suited to voice coaches who are new to phonetics, dialects and accent work, and who are interested in introducing it into their portfolio. The course will be split into two parts to allow for a comprehensive exploration of phonetics before moving on to accents. Part one will cover the basics of articulatory, acoustic, auditory, and linguistic phonetics and part two will introduce an overview of some of the methods of teaching accents and dialects, as well as some key areas to consider such as decolonised listening, working with accent stereotypes and listener perception.
