THET-261 Dialects for the Actor
This course will explore how to improve the voice through warm-ups and phonetic articulation. Students will use this knowledge to aid them in learning seven different dialects: standard British, Cockney, Irish, variations of American Southern, French, German, and Russian. Students will demonstrate how to research a dialect, mark a text, and speak the dialect using the sounds that are character relevant. Students will perform a monologue or scene for each dialect learned.
